What's the last thing you did for YOU, and nobody else? If your response to that question is filled with crickets, then this week's episode of The Millennial Reset is meant for you. I'm sharing my three big (and simple) tips for how to start taking better care of yourself, even when your mind talks you out of it.
The 3 tips for putting yourself first:

1. Understand the concept of source vs. resource. In other words, becoming fully aware of the age-old adage of "put your mask on first before assisting others".
2. Shift the internal narratives around "rest". Most of us were told growing up that "rest is lazy", which created the conditioning that keeps us all addicted to stress. So, we talk about how to shift the narrative from "rest is lazy" to "rest is productive" and giving yourself opportunities to prove that this is true to your brain that is always trying to seek out evidence of what you tell it.
3. Talk to yourself like you'd talk to your best friend. The way that we speak to ourselves (whether out loud or in our own head) has a drastic impact on how our brain becomes wired over time. When you start speaking to yourself with more compassion and grace, you begin creating a sense of safety for your nervous system from the inside out!
