Achieve Success Without Compromising the Quality of Your Life. Self Care with Cheryl Richardson.

Meditation Practice

Cheryl Richardson emphasizes the transformative power of daily meditation as a cornerstone of self-care. She shares her journey of becoming a consistent meditator, starting with just ten minutes a day, which eventually turned her entire life into a meditation practice. This commitment to meditation allowed her to handle life's challenges with greater calm and presence, as she explains, "The more I learn to step back and come back to the present moment over and over and over again throughout the day, the more life handles the things that show up without me having to do much."

Presence is the bottom line game changer for everybody.

Energy Management

Energy management is crucial for effective self-care, according to Cheryl Richardson. She advises identifying and eliminating energy drains by making a list of activities that sap energy and gradually letting go of them. This process often involves difficult decisions, such as reducing work hours or cutting back on commitments, but it is essential for a more peaceful and productive life.

The people I find who have the best self-care get really good at sitting with the discomfort when they have to turn away things that they'd really like to do.
