#17 Why self care feels like another task on your to do list

In this episode, Romy talks about the quiet frustration so many women carry, scheduling self care between deadlines, adding journaling to a to do list, doing the breathwork, and still feeling worse afterward instead of better. She breaks down why this happens: when self care gets approached from the same achievement driven mode as everything else, it stops being rest and becomes another task to perform, another box to check before you're allowed to feel good. She walks through what she's been seeing in her own clients this week, women doing all the right tools, breathwork, self reflection exercises, and still ending up back in the same cycle, because the tools were being used to fix and get rid of emotions instead of actually feeling them. Romy shares her own long relationship with running from her emotions, and how healing her gut issues, cycle problems, and mental health struggles only really began once she stopped chasing better protocols and started looking at what was underneath. A reminder that a massage, a weekend away, or a breathing exercise can help, but if it's used to fix a symptom, the relief is temporary. The real work is learning to hold a feeling of safety in your body, even when life stays busy, instead of waiting for the next tool to rescue you. → Cyclical Movement Method — move with your cycle & your own rhythm http://romyvriens.nl/cyclical-movement → Free Energy Map Quiz — find out what kind of woman you're ready to become http://romyvriens.nl/energy-map → Instagram — come find me @romy.vriens → Book a free call — https://calendar.app.google/fSNwFAyW5...
