Radical Self-Care

I am really excited that my new book has finally hit the virtual shelves. As you are receiving this message, you are in our exclusive inner-sanctum group, and I want to offer you some insights into the book.

Amazon have released Up Yours - the Pursuit of Radical Self-care on Kindle and as a physical book. I cannot control what they do with it, so if you want a physical copy for yourself, please go to my website and order there.

Especially for you is this discount code Radical25. Shhhh, that is just for you! 😀

I will share some insights on here from time to time that may or may not be in the book. Such as the concept below…

My approach to Radical Self-care is to consider and encompass all aspects of self-care, from mental and physical health to emotional health, self-awareness, self-compassion and how we connect with each other. 

  1. Physical Health remains relatively static (unless something acute happens to us) and we try to maintain or improve on it over time.  We are aware of it and can usually point to where on the spectrum we currently exist. 

  2. Mental Health can vary wildly, even in the course of a day, and certainly over our lifetimes.  We can point to where we are currently with a little thought. 

  3. Similarly, Emotional Health is ever-present, but we tend to not be aware of it.  Being self-aware is highly valued, (when we regulate our own emotions) and recognise them in others (empathy). 

  4. Connected Health speaks to our sense of connection, belonging and how much we matter to others.  Or conversely, our sense of isolation and loneliness.  This is how we relate to others and matters greatly. 

These four spectra are inter-related and inter-dependent.  Any one of them being unstable can throw us off our sense of self and well-being. 

My book delves into these four spectra in far greater detail and, of course, reach out if you want to explore these ideas further. If your company wishes to create a program to cover all aspects of self and team care, let's have a conversation.
