235 When MORE self care strategies doesn’t equal better (the real reason you’re overthinking self care)

You’re already trying to make self care a priority - the magnesium, the meditation, the phone-free wind down. And yet your brain still feels like an overthinking engine.

So maybe you start looking for more self care strategies, a better morning routine, or telling yourself consistency will finally solve the problem.

But in this episode I’m getting super clear on why the self care you’re already doing isn’t giving you the calm you’re craving - and won’t do until you make what you’re already doing work better.

Yep - we’re flipping the script and looking at what’s really happening beneath the overthinking, the perfectionist tendencies and why even the best self care habits in the world won’t work at their best until you tackle that.

I’ll show you how to shift from self care as control, to self care as connection - the kind that finally calms the noise and helps you feel safer in your own body again.

So if you’ve ever wondered why bubble baths and meditation aren’t doing the trick…this one’s for you.

We’ll cover:

  1. Why you don’t need MORE self care, you need to understand why what you’re already doing isn’t landing.
  2. Why self care which chases control is going to backfire.
  3. The underlying beliefs which block the benefits of any ritual

About the Podcast

Busy Woman's Guide to Wellbeing
Mindset, Balance & Fitness for Real Life
The Busy Woman’s Guide is a wellness podcast for women looking for a healthy lifestyle that fits THEIR rhythm, not a cookie cutter version of all the “shoulds” and to-do lists out there.

Hosted by Alix Hubble, women’s therapeutic, fitness and life coach, I take you deeper into a wellbeing for YOU.

Because you already know what it takes to build healthy habits, and you’ve got enough productivity tips, workout motivation hacks, and tips for how to be consistent, how to stop procrastinating and how to achieve work life balance to last a lifetime.

So let’s explore what really sits beneath your burnout, your lack of consistency, your self sabotage, or your need to always “be on it.”

This is your permission slip to stop performing, start listening to yourself, and create a rhythm that actually fits your life.

If you’re asking questions like these….this is the place to be:

- How to stop overthinking?
- How can I be productive without burning out?
- How can I stop tying my self worth and self esteem to being busy?
- How can I stop self-sabotaging my progress?
