[0:00] Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to Confidence
[0:04] Speaker 1: on Command public Speaking edition. Ever feel like you're running
[0:09] Speaker 1: a marathon before even getting out the door. Life can
[0:13] Speaker 1: be hectic right between work deadlines, family commitments, and trying
[0:18] Speaker 1: to squeeze in some semblance of a social life. It's
[0:22] Speaker 1: easy to forget about one of the most crucial ingredients
[0:24] Speaker 1: for confidence self care. Now I know what you're thinking,
[0:29] Speaker 1: self care. That sounds like bubble bats and face masks,
[0:34] Speaker 1: and while those are great, sometimes self care is so
[0:37] Speaker 1: much more than that. It's about actively investing in your
[0:41] Speaker 1: well being physically, mentally, and emotionally so you can show
[0:46] Speaker 1: up as your best self every single day. Let's dive
[0:51] Speaker 1: into five key takeaways that will help you understand why
[0:55] Speaker 1: self care is the ultimate confidence booster. First off, self
[1:00] Speaker 1: care helps you manage stress. We all get stressed. It's
[1:04] Speaker 1: a natural part of life, but chronic stress can drain
[1:08] Speaker 1: your energy, cloud your thinking, and ultimately sabotage your confidence.
[1:14] Speaker 1: Engaging in activities that relax you, whether it's reading, listening
[1:19] Speaker 1: to music, going for a walk, or anything else that
[1:22] Speaker 1: helps you destress, can make a world of difference. You'll
[1:27] Speaker 1: find yourself feeling calmer, clearer, and ready to tackle whatever
[1:31] Speaker 1: comes your way. Secondly, self care fuels your physical health.
[1:37] Speaker 1: Think about it, how can you be confident if you're
[1:40] Speaker 1: constantly exhausted. Getting enough sleep, eating nutritious foods, and moving
[1:46] Speaker 1: your body regularly are essential for both your physical and
[1:50] Speaker 1: mental well being. When you take care of your body,
[1:54] Speaker 1: it takes care of you, boosting your energy levels, improving
[1:58] Speaker 1: your mood, and making you feel more more resilient overall. Thirdly,
[2:03] Speaker 1: self care allows you to recharge. Ever feel like you're
[2:07] Speaker 1: running on empty. We all have those days, but consistently
[2:12] Speaker 1: pushing yourself without taking breaks can lead to burnout. Self
[2:17] Speaker 1: care is about prioritizing activities that bring you joy and
[2:21] Speaker 1: help you replenish your energy reserves. It could be spending
[2:26] Speaker 1: time in nature, pursuing a hobby, connecting with loved ones,
[2:30] Speaker 1: or simply taking some quiet time for yourself. Next up,
[2:35] Speaker 1: self care encourages self reflection. Think of it like this.
[2:40] Speaker 1: Self care isn't just about doing things for yourself. It's
[2:44] Speaker 1: also about understanding yourself better. Taking the time to reflect
[2:49] Speaker 1: on your thoughts, feelings, and experiences can help you identify
[2:54] Speaker 1: your strengths, areas for growth, and what truly matters to you.
[2:59] Speaker 1: This self awareness is essential for building confidence because it
[3:03] Speaker 1: allows you to make decisions aligned with your values and goals. Finally,
[3:09] Speaker 1: and perhaps most importantly, self care teaches you to prioritize
[3:16] Speaker 1: yourself in a world that often demands we put everyone
[3:20] Speaker 1: else's needs first, Learning to prioritize your own well being
[3:25] Speaker 1: can be transformative. Remember, you deserve to feel good, both
[3:30] Speaker 1: physically and mentally. By making self care a non negotiable
[3:35] Speaker 1: part of your routine, you're sending yourself a powerful message
[3:39] Speaker 1: I am worthy of love, respect, and care. You know
[3:44] Speaker 1: that feeling when you walk into a room and you
[3:46] Speaker 1: just own it. That's the power of confidence. But it
[3:49] Speaker 1: doesn't come from thin air. Let me tell you about
[3:53] Speaker 1: my friend Sarah. She used to get butterflies before presentations,
[3:57] Speaker 1: big ones, But she really realized she wasn't taking care
[4:01] Speaker 1: of herself, so she started prioritizing her sleep, went for
[4:05] Speaker 1: daily walks, and even took up meditation. Guess what, Those
[4:11] Speaker 1: butterflies disappeared, replaced by a calm confidence that radiated from her.
[4:16] Speaker 1: Now Sarah lights up the room whenever she speaks. The
[4:20] Speaker 1: takeaway here is simple, self care isn't selfish. It's essential.
[4:26] Speaker 1: When you prioritize your well being, you infest in your confidence,
[4:30] Speaker 1: your relationships, and ultimately your happiness. Remember, confidence isn't just
[4:37] Speaker 1: about being bold or loud. It's about feeling comfortable in
[4:40] Speaker 1: your own skin and knowing that you have what it
[4:43] Speaker 1: takes to navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience. So
[4:49] Speaker 1: go out there and practice some self care. Treat yourself
[4:52] Speaker 1: like the amazing person you are. You deserve it. And hey,
