- 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.

She is so right about how just being outside makes you happy and helps with self care. Covid-19 and quarantining has definitely given everyone a new appreciation for the outdoors.
100% Agreed. Outdoors is so important for sanity
“Your hand gets sweaty...”
Me in my head: knees arms are heavy, mom's spaghetti
Yes! She's talking about the different between pseudo spiritualism based on materialism and real connection and self care. Really great. I wish more people realized how terrible stress is for you, and that the basics -- nutrition, sleep, movement, stillness -- are so simple.
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.
Daily self-care is so important! Thank you for this video 💛
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!
Yes! Love this. 🙌 Self-care is my JAM! I coach a lot of clients through developing and prioritizing their self-care routines and the main thing I see is that the more drained, burnt out, anxious, tired, or depressed you are, the less energy you have to do the things that will make you feel better. Just like anything else, it gains momentum and can feel impossible to do what will help us feel better - even if we WANT to. It's important to remember that:
A) It doesn’t have to be long and involved. It just has to be healthy.
B) It doesn’t have to look like we’re told self-care looks. It just has to leave us feeling a bit better than when we started.
C) There are plenty of options.
We have to focus on doing the things that’ll help you move the needle - even just a little bit.
This has been one of my favorite Ted Talks!! She’s spot on!
This is good, but from my experience eating healthy and avoiding comforting things like caffeine, sugar, and alcohol is a battle, much easier said than done. I think people eat unhealthy things because they're stressed, they don't cause stress per se but they're not good for long term health and strength.
It's a positive feedback loop. You're stressed so you eat comforting things, then because you aren't eating healthily or because those foods cause you to not feel good physically, you try to eat healthily but you no longer have those comforting foods which ease your stress so you relapse and binge on unhealthy foods and it starts over again. so they do cause stress just not in the nutritional way you are thinking about.
Fantastic advice. It is good to be reminded that it is a practice, just try to show up. Thank you Susannah!
This was a great presentation people don't understand if you don't take care of yourself and you cannot take care of anyone else so that 30 minutes a day is worth it
appreciation for what you have is so important.
Love this! Balancing work, being a dad, being a husband is tough so self care gets pushed down the list. I did a video recently on how surfing has definitely help me with self care. Great content. ❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing this most incredible info... it is so important for people. Making plans for self care personally, for the family and work - so important.
100% agreed with this! Self care is so important. A lot of us just forget about ourselves.
Loved this presentation. Simple things to deal with our stress factors, yet so rewarding to our well being and health.
Simple & effective ways to take care of oneself.
I couldn't find any self care videos by men. I guess I should record one.
How is this video gendered?
1. Diet. Lessen the intake of sugar, caffeine & processed foods. Add plant based whole foods.
2. Meditate. Practice stillness and silence. Let go of unnecessary thoughts. 5-10 mins a day.
3. Movement. Helps you sleep and increases positivity. 10 mins a day.
4. Nature. Reduce stress and improve sleep. 10 mins a day.
Practice 30 mins daily to support mood and increase energy.
Self care is catered to you.
@@AB-ws4kt Excellent points!
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.
Thank you so much, concise and motivational, just what I needed to remind myself right now 💚 and the fact that she mentioned whole foods plant based diet: YES, yes yes 🌱
Love this! will be sharing it with my friends!
This is awesome and simple and doable - thank you for posting
Love yourself
My teacher posted an assignment about this called “Take A Break Tuesday”. I’m not 100% sure it was an actual break. I kinda hate that ngl. What was I supposed to do, not listen to what it was called or some other complete BS?
the concept of ""earthing"" and the health benefits of doing such practice is something Indigenous Peoples have always known and done... They do not call it earthing.
Savannah Fortin-Ferguson ik...there’s a reason why some cultures are more healthy than others. For some it’s normal...others see it as some exotic new thing
@@sammaliu ancient wisdoms!
This is a great new concept & definitely going to try to implement in my life 💛
Thank you for this 🥰
This is so so accurate!
I must starting to do things
Really we are lost a lot of time in bad experience
Very incourging and the truthful outside is one that's so true i have proven to be true thanks
By the grace of God truth rises and we humbly stand together to freedom for love by doing and being helpful in the world that is ea...
Brilliant thank you 🙏
Love this! Completely agree with the idea self care shouldn't have to be super glamorous - I talk about it in my latest video on self care! 😊✨
Sometimes women out themselves last and they themselves should be a priority.
LOVE the message and video!!! Someone needs to hire an audio expert though. The static made this a very tuff listen.
Great self care Informative Video.
great video resonate
"Its about showing up for yourself"
2:20 what self care is …
God do I struggle
But I shall find
The way
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.
Amazing, Loved it, Thank you mam.
My ways of self care is Lotion Brushing Flossing and Mouthwash
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.
Not everyone can afford a spay day.
Eat whole plant-based food. Meditation. Moving. Outdoors. Every day!
Hi, I was wondering if i could use this video as an example of self care for a program im running for victims of domestic abuse? thanks
I enjoyed this!!!

"Self care is eliberately taking care of your well being through restorative activities."
powerful.
Ted Talk: Talks about earthing
Me allergic to grass: 🤕
💙
how are you gonna tell me what self care is NOT? when it's about the SELF.
Self care...is like when your young child is drowning... and you stop to check your hair and still worried about your weight...
Eat, sleep... Is me
ahem... knees week, arms are heavy
Go for a walk!
you had me till you said caffeine...lol
"My son is SO unique-" *describes average behavior of children...*
Hola teresiano
So true. I’m outdoors taking photographs. Check mine out. 📸
She has voices in her head I don’t feel like I should be getting calming tips from her.
Dude, we all have voices in our heads.....I would be more concerned if you didn't know you had them....do you just follow them?
Kristen Wheeler Highland god damn it was joke
when ( 7:37 ) did i ask about your child.. neverrrrrr
NOTHING NEW HERE. Same as every other self-help guru that says controlling one's thoughts is the answer to everything. bleh.
I don't think she was implying it was a new concept, just explaining it clearly and letting people know they don't have to spend money for self care. I always remember some self care is better than no self care.
She is so right about how just being outside makes you happy and helps with self care. Covid-19 and quarantining has definitely given everyone a new appreciation for the outdoors.
Go for a walk!
