Self-Care
A few weeks ago, for my podcast, I interviewed Justin Schenk, who is the host of Growth Now Movement. Justin sits down with top performers, celebrities and entrepreneurs and asks them questions about their success and asks them to share how they arrived at the point where they are.
Justin shared that he asks each top performer what their definition of success is and what three things that they do each day to ensure that they can achieve that success.

In most of the individuals that he has interviewed, the number one thing that they do every day is some form of self-care.
I started to think about the things that I do for self-care. I feel that woman are the worst at practicing self-care. For the most part women are selfless.
When we started Hello Gorgeous! The entire premise for the Hello Gorgeous! Makeover was that it had to be a surprise. The woman receiving the makeover couldn’t know about what was about to happen for her. What we found was if we shared with the women that was battling cancer that we were going to take her for a day of beauty, she would deflect it and want to gift it to someone else.
As a rule, and in my experience, women aren’t good as self-care. And that is what we need more than anything is to take care of ourselves. You cannot give what you don’t have, you can fill anyone else up if your cup is empty.
I make it a point to take time to get a facial once a month. It's amazing what just a little TLC can do. (Thank you, Aimee V., for always taking great care of me!)
When we give a woman with cancer a makeover, it comes at the most perfect time, a time when she doesn’t feel deserving. And yet that is what she needs the most, just a few hours away from cancer.
If you have a loved one that could use a little TLC, check out our website for more information on our virtual makeovers. And if it's been a while, take some to schedule some self-care for yourself. It can do your body and your mind some good.
