Episode 3777: Elly McGuinness reminds us that the key to sustained wellbeing and stress relief lies in prioritizing “me time.” Through simple daily rituals and even micro-moments of self-care, she shows how nurturing yourself first allows everything else in life to fit together more harmoniously. Her message encourages mindful self-prioritization as an act of love that ripples through all areas of life. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://ellymcguinness.com/blog/me-time/ Quotes to ponder: “If you don’t allow for ‘me time’ and put yourself last, in the long run you’ll have no energy or enthusiasm to help anyone else.” “Take care of you first. Have your ‘me time’ and then everything else will fit in around that.” “Give yourself some love and attention and that will flow into the rest of your day.” Episode references: Boho Beautiful Yoga: https://www.youtube.com/c/bohobeautiful Learn more about your ad choices.
