I’ve learned that Happiness is a decision. I’ve also learned that the decision to be happy, Really Happy, is impossible to sustain if you don’t have a Radical Self-Care practice in place. 

For sustainable happiness you want to not only feed your body. You also want to feed your Soul.

When I started the practice of feeding my soul and created the method of Joyful Play, it changed everything for me. 

It’s a practice I’ve taught for years that has supported hundreds of other women in creating more Happiness, Success, and Joy in their lives. They have learned the power of bringing the Spirit of Play into everything they do. 

Harnessing Radical Self-Care will support you in creating:

• Radiant Confidence: Caring for yourself, making yourself a priority, and feeding your soul boosts your self-esteem and creates a deep sense of confidence. 

 

• More Presence: Embracing Radical self-care through the Joyful Play Method encourages you to be more present in the moment. Whether you savor a cup of tea, immerse yourself in nature, slip into the neighborhood bookstore, go for a walk, or take a bike ride, these rituals feed your soul and connect you to the present moment within yourself.

 

• Increased productivity: Time for yourself isn’t selfish or something to feel guilty about. It’s an investment in you and your productivity. When you practice Radical Self-Care, it ensures you are operating at your best, have clarity and focus, and have a renewed sense of purpose.

 

• Resilience: Life is filled with ups and downs, but a strong practice of Radical Self-Care equips you with the resilience needed to navigate challenges. By practicing more self-compassion and reducing stress, you’ll bounce back from setbacks with grace and determination.

 

• Fulfilling Relationships: When you prioritize your happiness, you bring your best self to your relationships. Whether personal or professional, nurturing yourself ensures that you can connect authentically, fostering meaningful and fulfilling connections.

 

On the flip side, neglecting Radical Self Care can lead to a lot of challenges that will stand in your way of happiness:

• Burnout and Exhaustion: Ignoring Radical Self-Care can lead to burnout, leaving you feeling exhausted and drained. This will negatively impact your overall well-being and hinder your ability to experience real happiness and joy.

 

• Reduced Resilience: Lack of Radical Self-Care weakens your resilience. You will find it challenging to deal with stress, which takes its toll on your physical, mental, and emotional health.

 

• Strained Relationships: Neglecting your own needs will strain your relationships. The frustration, resentment, and unhappiness that builds up usually gets taken out on the people you love the most.

 

• Personal Growth becomes more difficult.  It is essential to invest in your own development to unlock your full potential and lead a more purposeful and Happy life.

 

• Diminished joy in your daily life: Putting Radical Self-Care on the back burner will diminish your ability to find Joy in everyday experiences. By not taking care of yourself, you will miss out on simple pleasures that contribute to a truly happy life.

It’s time to make radical self-care a non-negotiable priority and create more Happiness, Play, and Joy in your life!
