No two well-being journeys are exactly the same. After all, we have different needs as individuals, so what self-care looks like to each of us can be very different.
Take media personality and #HerWorldTribe member Jade Seah for instance. As an energetic extrovert, she is aware that she draws energy from doing things and being around people – which explains her intentionally jampacked schedule. In this chat with Her World, the energizer bunny tells us more about her approach to self-care, and how taking care of her physical body also helped with her mental and social well-being.
What does a typical day for you look like?
There is no “typical day” for me, and this is what I am grateful for every day. My preferred way to start my day would be to wake up early and get a sunrise workout in. I love being outdoors first thing in the morning, because I get to watch the skies getting brighter and roads getting busier as people start their day. I usually go cycling, in-line skating, or running.
Some days I have shoots, so it depends on what the call time is to arrive for hair and makeup. If it’s my own production, I try to start around 10am so I get to enjoy a slow morning – to get a good workout, breakfast, and a nice long shower in. Other days – and these are the ones people don’t really see as they are less documented, because they are pretty mundane – I am in the office writing (like my monthly Girl Talk column for Her World!), catching up on e-mails or finishing up any work that needs to be done.
