Summary
In this episode of Over It and On With It, Christine Hassler delivers a heartfelt reminder about the importance of self-care, rest, and prioritizing our well-being over external obligations and people-pleasing tendencies. Christine shares her own recent experiences as a busy mom and life coach, explaining how taking time for herself—even when it meant canceling podcast recordings—has been a powerful practice in maintaining integrity with her own needs.
Christine encourages listeners to reflect on the ways they may be abandoning themselves by prioritizing the expectations of others over their own health and happiness. She highlights the significance of slowing down, saying “no” when necessary, and learning to trust that others will understand when we make self-honoring choices.
This episode serves as a powerful message for anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's obligations, reminding us that true healing and clarity can only come when we give ourselves permission to rest and recharge.
Consider/Ask Yourself:
- Are you abandoning your own needs to meet others' expectations?
- What is it costing you to keep pushing yourself without rest?
- Can you give yourself permission to slow down, even if it means disappointing others?
- How can you incorporate moments of self-care, even in a busy schedule?
Key Insights & AHA's:
- Christine reflects on how she has shifted from people-pleasing and feeling obligated to meet commitments at the cost of her well-being.
- The importance of slowing down, not just for physical rest, but for nervous system regulation and emotional healing.
- She reminds us that healing happens at the pace of the slowest part of us that feels safe, and rushing through life can prevent true restoration.
- Self-care is not a luxury, but a necessity for maintaining alignment and integrity with oneself.
