Self-care isn’t about bubble baths or spa days. At its core, self-care is about self-compassion and self-knowledge. It’s knowing how to take care of your own, unique self. In this episode, I share what’s on my “Take care of Rebecca” list–and encourage you to consider how you care for yourself, every day.

This episode is the second in our two-part series about managing your mind's chatter.
Last episode, we talked a lot about anxious and depressive rumination and self-limiting beliefs. I told you about my mind, the Amazon AI bot that hangs out there and torments me sometimes, and we also talked about the ABC model, identifying an Activating event, managing your Beliefs about the event, and making careful choices about the Consequences therein.
We talked about how to reframe our beliefs, and that's where this episode continues. Hear several ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and explore the technique of "Radical Acceptance" from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
