Our modern way of life results in more stress, less free time, and more mental health problems than any other time in history. That’s one of the many reasons people struggle with making time for self-care.
But many people also think that self-care is selfish. When you have a million different things pulling you in a million different directions, taking time for self-care seems like it’s a direct attack to your loved ones and career.
But this is a mistake. Not only is self-care selfless, but it also helps you show up better to the important people in your life. Self-care unlocks patience, improves your mood, and helps you better serve your family.
So, how do you make more time for self-care (especially when your schedule is chaotic)?
Well, in this episode, I reveal my top 9 personal strategies for making time for self-care. You’ll discover why you have more free time than you think, how to use that free time to become a better man, and how focusing on yourself makes you a better servant.
Listen now.
