“If you don't have time to meditate for an hour everyday, you should meditate for two hours.” - Zen Proverb
Think you don’t have time for self-care in stressful times? What if you’re not sure whether you should take a break or continue to grind it out?
When it comes to the subject of self-care, people often have a lot of opinions - some of them make sense, while some of them don’t.
In today’s episode of Impact Theory, I’ll be answering these questions (and more) around how to effectively implement self-care in your life.
I’ll not only share what I believe to be the ultimate foundational self-care routine, I’ll also go into the reasons why you should be taking care of yourself in the first place, what to do if you have low self-esteem, and more.
So whether you’re currently living an easy life or you’re in the middle of the most stressful week of your life, I hope you get value out of this episode and most importantly, I hope you use what you’ve learned to improve your own self-care routine.

QUOTES:
“The reason that I work out, the reason that I prioritize sleep, the reason that I meditate - all of those things are because I know that that's what you need to do in order to cognitively optimize.” [01:55]
“You can't, unfortunately, just tell yourself to love yourself. While it helps a little bit, it's maybe 5%. The other 95% is actually doing something that you think is worthy of respect, actually doing something that makes you feel that you have worth.” [10:19]
“The whole point of life is to optimize for fulfillment and joy. And beating ourselves up, thinking ourselves worthless, do not move us towards that goal.” [11:40]
“If you're doing that - working really hard to get exceptional at something that matters, that the world cares about and that you love, and then you contribute in a way that elevates you and other people - that's the game of fulfillment.” [18:26]
“If you're doing that - working really hard to get exceptional at something that matters, that the world cares about and that you love, and then you contribute in a way that elevates you and other people - that's the game of fulfillment.” [18:26]
“The whole idea is as you lower that stress and anxiety, you get into a calm and creative space where you can problem solve. And so that's the goal - we want to get into a place where we can begin problem solving.” [20:09]

| 0:30.0 | Everybody, welcome to another episode of Impact Theory. Today, I'm going to be answering |
| 0:36.8 | your questions all about self-care. Now, self-care, I think, is something that people come |
| 0:43.8 | out from a lot of different angles. Some angles make sense. Others don't. We're going |
| 0:47.1 | to dive into the nitty-gritty of exactly how to use self-care in your life as a way to |
| 0:51.8 | move you forward towards your goals, to not become self-indulgent, to not be inefficient |
| 0:57.3 | with it, but really to leverage it for what it's meant to do, which is make your life |
| 1:02.2 | enjoyable and effective. That will be exactly what we tackle today. |
| 1:06.8 | All right, here's the first question. What kinds of things can you do to train your thoughts |
| 1:11.2 | so they see self-care as something instrumental to my success? I'm wondering how I can reframe |
| 1:16.7 | or condition myself to see the gym and self-care as something that will help me do more |
| 1:21.8 | in the long run and short-term. All right, so this is a great way to think about the question. |
| 1:26.7 | When you're thinking about anything in your life, the frame of reference by which you |
| 1:31.5 | approach it will determine exactly what you see. It says, it doesn't matter what you look |
| 1:37.5 | at, it matters what you see. Once you understand that what you believe is going to determine |
| 1:42.4 | what you see, you realize that all of this starts with belief. That's why I say that belief |
| 1:47.7 | determines behavior and behavior is all that matters. Getting the belief right, getting |
