Make Self-Care Simple helps you get more from the healthy advice you choose to follow — especially when the results aren’t as clear as you expected.
When you’ve tried hard to look after your health but the results are still confusing and hit and miss, it’s easy to start wondering if your body is the problem.
What if it isn’t?
What if your body’s response — even when it isn’t the response you hoped for — could help you work out what to do next?
That’s what Make Self-Care Simple helps you learn to do.
Instead of constantly trying to fix your body, you learn a simple step-by-step way to use its feedback as a guide.
A lack of obvious results doesn’t mean a lack of useful information
For more than 20 years, I worked with hundreds of people who had done their research and were trying very hard to look after themselves.
And I kept seeing the same thing.
They weren’t necessarily following bad advice.
They just weren’t getting the simple, obvious results they had expected.
I know that feeling myself.
It’s very easy at that point to assume the advice hasn’t worked, wonder whether you’ve done something wrong or go searching for the next answer.
And when this happens again and again, self-care can start to feel like a constant cycle of trying, hoping and second-guessing.
You give up on things that might have needed more time. Keep going with things that aren’t really helping. Or move on to the next promising answer — still unsure what your own body has been telling you.
But when I looked more closely at what was happening, I often found something else.
The way their bodies were responding contained useful clues about what was happening.
Sometimes, the original advice just needed a small adjustment before they began to see the results they had hoped for.
Other times, their response showed us that something else was influencing the results — or that the advice simply wasn’t right for them at that time.
Because once you follow the advice, another source of information becomes available: your response to it.
Your body is always responding — and that response can help guide you.
The feedback doesn’t look the same for everyone, and it isn’t always obvious.
I think of this as your Body’s Guidance Style — the individual way your body gives you feedback as you make changes.
Learning to recognise that feedback can help you decide whether to give something more time, make an adjustment or let it go.
Good advice gives you somewhere to start. Your body’s response shows you what happens when you follow it.
That’s the part of self-care I want to help you with.
Making self-care more personal
Make Self-Care Simple isn’t another health plan.
I’m not here to tell you what to eat, which supplements to take, how to exercise or which morning routine you should follow.
There are already plenty of people doing that very well.
Instead, I’ll help you learn to notice how your body responds to the changes you make.
Over time, those small discoveries help you build a more personalised approach to self-care — one based not only on what should help, but on what you discover actually supports your body and your life.
You don’t have to stop following healthy advice.
You just learn how to make it your own.
And this doesn’t need to be complicated.
Learning to notice your body’s feedback and use it to decide what to do next is a simple skill that anyone can learn.
The more you practise, the better you get at working with your body rather than simply following instructions and hoping for the expected result.
And over time, you build a skill you can draw on whenever your body, your circumstances or your needs change.
If you’d like to learn more, choose whichever next step feels most useful to you.
