How spin class taught me about active recovery, why getting stronger doesn’t mean things get easier, and what that has to do with emotional Self-care.
I talk about Recovery a lot as a Self-care practice: Recovery is the ongoing practice of identifying your needs, then taking the necessary actions to meet them and fill your cup.
When we think about recovery, the first thing that comes to mind is usually rest in the form of sleep, naps, massages, hot baths or showers, meditation, i.e. activities that require you to stop and be still.
But.
I have two kids and two dogs who also have needs and are my responsibility. There are times that I need recovery time, but they also need my attention and it’s hard to navigate those competing needs, especially because they are constantly fluctuating.
Sometimes we can’t stop all the way to recover… and sometimes, we actually don’t need to.
It’s so helpful when I can tune into my inner environment and figure out the kind of recovery I need to regulate and get back to being my best Self. That's why this episode is about active recovery -- so that you can learn to tell the difference between needing to stop, or just slow down.

In the third (and final) episode of this series, we're going to put this boundary-setting and feeling your feelings work into practice with the stack of Self-care cups -- an exercise that helps to illustrate the roles, relationships, and responsibilities we have, and, how to manage the competing de…
In the first of a three-part series, I'm digging into what a healthy boundary is, how boundaries protect us, why it's so important to honour pain in the healing process, and, why you need healthy boundaries to help you grow.
As I was preparing for a Self-care workshop that I was leading yesterday, I reflected on some of the ways that I’ve tended to my needs because I wanted to offer some tangible ideas and strategies that people can put to use right away — and I realized that when I lined up all of the practices, what …
