PsycHope

If your heart has been feeling heavy lately, you are not alone.

When the hard updates never seem to stop, self-care can start to feel optional, or even selfish. It can show up in the little ways. Like, doomscrolling when you need to rest, sleeping poorly, maybe even feeling more reactive.

Your mind and body are doing their best with a whole lot to process.

In the latest episode of the PsycHope Self-Help Podcast, we explore why self-care is a basic human requirement, especially now. That’s because it protects your peace and supports your capacity to live in alignment with your values.

You’ll also hear a few micro self-care practices you can try right away, including news consumption boundaries and bloomscrolling, doomscrolling’s optimistic, glimmer-seeking cousin.

This episode is live now, Self-Care: Why It Matters When Hearts Are Heavy.
