Is Self-Care Selfish? Balancing Running and Relationships Without Losing Yourself
In this thought-provoking episode, we tackle the challenging question many runners face: "Is your running habit selfish?" We explore:
The emotions that surface when someone labels your running as "selfish"
Why "selfish" might be the wrong term altogether
What people are really saying when they criticize your running time
The hidden benefits your loved ones receive when you prioritize self-care
Practical solutions for balancing running with relationships
We dive into what happens when runners don't make time for themselves and offer strategies for setting healthy boundaries with loved ones. Remember, taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary for showing up as your best self for others. As we like to say, put your oxygen mask on first, then run your best life... on carbs!
