It's Mindset Monday again friends, and today, it's all about Subversive Sauna Self-Care.
I love to sweat. Especially in the sauna. Sauna use isn’t just about relaxation—it’s a radical act of self-love.
In a world that demands constant hustle, pushing us to give more of ourselves without giving back, taking time for sauna self-care becomes an act of rebellion. It’s not about indulgence; it’s about reclaiming your power, your health, and your mental clarity.
For many of us, especially high performers and overachievers, it's easy to get caught in the cycle of “doing more” without ever slowing down or refueling.
That’s where the sauna comes in—it's a sacred space for rejuvenation, a place to quiet the noise and focus solely on your well-being. It's not just about sweating—it's about honoring your body and mind, allowing them to recover, and fueling the resilience you need to keep showing up at your best.
In the words of Mysia Anderson, self-care is “a form of resistance”—a way to sustain your efforts while pushing back against burnout, stress, and the demands of an over-saturated, fast-paced world. Sauna sessions are a tangible act of self-love, helping you regain your energy, clarity, and focus. They are a vital tool in your arsenal to stay sharp, healthy, and mentally strong. Here's why regular sauna sessions are so beneficial:
Boost cardiovascular health by increasing circulation and reducing blood pressure
Detoxify your body through the power of sweat—flush out toxins and impurities
Relax and recover faster from physical exertion by relieving muscle tension
Reduce stress and anxiety by triggering the release of endorphins and lowering cortisol
Support skin health and give yourself a glowing complexion through improved circulation
Strengthen your immune system and fight off infections with regular heat exposure
Sleep better by promoting relaxation and improving overall sleep quality
🟥🟥🟥RECOMMENDATION 🟥🟥🟥
15-20 minutes per session, 3-7 times a week, for optimal health benefits and rebellious self-care.
