Self Care: What It Really Is | Susannah Winters | TEDxHiltonHeadWomen



Self Care breaks the myth that self care is a wine party, Netflix binge, or pedicure social. Self care is what’s needed for your well-being and should always leave you with more energy and feelings of revitalization. Often, the activities that are described as self-care leave you more depleted and with less energy. This talk will break the myth and discuss the 4 components of self care that will support your overall wellness;
-nourishing foods,
-stillness & movement,
-time in nature, and
-self expression.

  1. I really enjoyed this video and it’s great but she forgot that our environment includes proteins based food . Little fruit indeed and some vegetables.
    But not fruits all year around at massive quantity as all of it transform as sugar in your metabolism. Your diet does not need whole plant based food .

    Although yes connecting with nature and moving and being active physically is essential.

    Good talk simple and direct health advise .

  2. Yay for earthing, totally agree with that, but the smug "start with the 5 hours a day most people are watching tv" ENRAGES ME. Talk about toxic. I know she said most, not all, but how about acknowledging those of us who work too hard and spend too much time parenting and keeping the house running to watch TV. We're the ones that really need the tips on self care.

  3. Taking time to look after yourself in times of stress and anxiety, which is also important to do and anyone should be allowed to do it if they feel they need to.

  4. Thank you for this TED Talk Susannah. I really appreciate it because I agree that the concept of 'self care' has got warped into some kind of 'package'. You've reminded me that true self care really is free – it doesn't need to cost anything at all. We don't require special equipment or the most expensive things in order to practice it every single day. All it takes is committing a little time and focus. I'm about to become a parent for the first time, and despite being incredibly excited about the challenge ahead, I know that self care will be even more important now.

  5. Great advice for self care! I think self care is a lot more simple than most people think. Because of social media, a lot of people think they have to spend a lot of money or indulge in over the top activities to practice self care, but that definitely isn't the case!

  6. I somewhat disagree with her, self care is doing whatever makes "self" feel relaxed, revitalized, refreshed, rejuvenated and relieved from stress and if that's a spa day it is what it is.
