This is the one thing to remember when you’re working on your self care

Take some notes on self compassion from Rachel Drori below. How many times have you felt guilty or ashamed that you didn’t wake up early for that workout class or skipped out on your few minutes of your regularly scheduled evening meditation? It’s totally understandable to feel this way (we all have), but guilt-tripping yourself isn’t the path toward true self care. Part of the bigger picture is accepting balance and meeting yourself where you are right now, no judgement. ad_intervals[‘414914_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘414914_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); For Rachel Drori, founder of Daily Harvest—a meal delivery service that provides chef-crafted meals using only organic fruits and vegetables—food and exercise are her two primary modes of self care. But guess what? She has off days too. “Have self compassion and say I am not going to make a home-cooked meal for myself or I don’t have time to work out,” Drori says. Drori also reinforces that just because you didn’t make it to yoga or cook dinner for yourself today doesn’t mean you can’t start over tomorrow. Your self care hinges on you and nothing else—so showing a bit more empathy toward yourself is

Here, Sallie Krawcheck, CEO and co-founder of Ellevest, shares her four-week guide on to how to invest your hard-earned cash. Look, navigating your finances isn’t always easy—and if you’re looking to invest and have no clue where to start, can seem downright insurmountable. (Yep, money stress is a real thing that could be affecting your wellness.) The good news? It’s 2019, and there are women like Sallie Krawcheck here to help. Krawcheck—CEO and co-founder of Ellevest, an investing platform designed by women, for women—created her company to be a streamlined way to get more money into women’s wallets, and part of that mission is helping break down some of the misconceptions around investing. ad_intervals[‘412066_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘412066_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); “[One of the most common roadblocks to investing] is the idea that there’s a perfect time where everything will line up and make sense. ‘I’ll invest when I get the raise,’ or ‘I’ll invest when I get a new job and make more money.’ Really the idea is to just get started—a little bit out of each paycheck at first, if that’s what you can do.” So what, exactly, do you need to do to get started?

4 ways you can incorporate food into your self-care routine

Get the goods at our monthly event series in New York City plus our online one-month wellness plans. Here, Rachel Drori founder of Daily Harvest, shares her four-week guide for ways to turn food into a form of self care. Whether you’re one to devour every your plate in five minutes or into slowly savoring each bite, eating a meal that hits all the food groups and is chef’s kiss-approved feels like the equivalent of earning an Olympic gold medal (for just living your life). More than being a nutritional element that, you know, fuels your body, food (and everything that goes into creating a dish) is ultimately a form of self care—hence the unmatched feeling of diving into your meal of choice. ad_intervals[‘410303_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘410303_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); “Living good starts with good food,” says Rachel Drori, founder and CEO of Daily Harvest. “And I believe Hippocrates was right when he said, ‘Let food be thy medicine’—but the pace of life today has forced us to substitute care for convenience.” Don’t lie: How many times have you decided on a bar you found at the bottom of your gym bag instead of a real meal for the sake of time and ease? “Practicing self care means having self-compassion, and this should be a daily
How to finally feel empowered in your body—in four weeks

Get the goods at our monthly event series in New York City plus our online one-month wellness plans. Here, Mama Cax—blogger, model, and body positivity and disability advocate—shares her four-week guide to total body empowerment. You don’t have to scroll far on social media to find someone applauding body positivity, and with good reason: It’s easy to give lip service to the movement (who couldn’t use a little more self love?). But sometimes it’s not so easy to actually put the concept into practice. Because, let’s face it, we all have insecurities. Disability advocate, blogger, and model Mama Cax is no stranger to the feeling. After having her leg amputated as a result of bone cancer when she was 16, she had to factor in losing her leg to the body-image issues most teenage girls were already feeling. ad_intervals[‘411424_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘411424_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); So how did she not only embrace her post-surgery body, but also become a voice for disability visibility in the fashion world and beyond? Celebrating the small steps forward, and not stressing over setbacks. “Since my surgery, I’ve dealt with added body insecurities, but have come to realize that loving my body is not a destination,” Cax says. “Rather, [it’s] a journey, and I need to appreciate every step of it.”
Here’s why this investing expert thinks giving up lattes to save money is bad financial advice

Get the goods at our monthly event series in New York City and upcoming events in Los Angeles and San Francisco—plus dive into our online one-month wellness plans. Here, score some money-saving advice from Sallie Krawcheck. Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Buying over-priced coffee is such a waste of money. While yes, those daily lattes do add up, Ellevest co-founder Sallie Krawcheck says that’s not always a reason to skimp. ad_intervals[‘415091_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘415091_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); In fact, the former Merrill Lynch and Citi Wealth Management CEO says that sort of shame-y attitude toward how women spend their money is exactly why many women feel less than when it comes to handling their financial situations. “What I’ve learned being in the financial advisory business and engaging with women is that money overall for most of us is a source of shame,” Krawcheck says. “It’s a source of isolation. It’s a source of loneliness. It’s a source of ‘I don’t feel like I’m quite getting this right.’” Instead of feeling guilted into giving up your morning matchas—especially if they are a source of joy in your day—she advocates for creating a budget that includes them. “Forget the bad financial advice that tells women, ‘Don’t buy the latte,’ and makes us all feel guilty,” she says. “What you really

Get the goods at our monthly event series in New York City and upcoming events in Los Angeles and San Francisco—plus dive into our online one-month wellness plans. But first, get some tips on how to love your body better from Mama Cax. If it would take less than 30 seconds for you to name your top insecurities, congratulations—you’re human. And while some days you walk around feeling fierce in your own skin, other days the confident vibes just don’t flow as freely. ad_intervals[‘415380_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘415380_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); So if you find yourself needing a body-confidence-boosting pep talk every once in a while (don’t we all?), blogger, model, and disability advocate Mama Cax has some advice for you. Cax was diagnosed with bone cancer when she was 14 years old, and had to have her right leg amputated at 17—so she’s had a lot of practice learning how to be comfortable in her body right now, exactly how she is—even on days when the feeling doesn’t come naturally. “Be in the moment,” Cax advises. “I love to stay active and work out, and oftentimes I find myself worrying about how my body might look. But I think it’s more important to be grateful for how my body is performing rather than how it’s looking.” File that away under
