**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Yeah. And this is why going "What's your buy-in?" Because that's what that is. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's what it is for me, yeah. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Yeah. That's my happiness, that's going "Okay, I'm gonna endure this abrasiveness or suck of this because it takes me on the trajectory or the location that I wanna be at." Here's interesting research again out of the JAMA Network Open. This was published in March of 2019, and it said "People ... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Or dying early, not dying generally. Because you're gonna die. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Yes, correct. But earlier. Because it's about moving and maneuvering, and keeping cardiovascular systems... In the same way, move into a house, I never have the HVAC system looked at. It just works, and I never, ever imagine that that's going to go awry. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah... Well, going back to me quoting you from episode 27 - is it worth it? For me, when I think about that time, that's worth it to me, to endure whatever is necessary today... But it's hard to keep that goal post in mind every single time the pain comes around, or the resilience is necessary, or ... |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Yes. So I want you guys to be aware, when we're looking at what are some of these barriers that make it harder for me, and what thing help trip me into doing the things that take me where I wanna go - recognizing that emotional self-care, caring for how we feel can be a little harder than phys... |
If you were to tell your boss "Hey, I'm just taking an emotional wellness day", they might have a different response than "Hey, I need to go to the doctor." Which is unfortunate, but that doesn't mean you don't need it, because someone else doesn't give you credence. It still has credibility, because you know, you live... |
I love it when -- I have realized this over the years, and I think I've shared this on other episodes... That when a seemingly simple task feels overwhelming, like I can't do it, I can't fill out a basic paperwork, it's like "Mireille, back off. Let it go, set it aside, and come back to it, because you just can't proce... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** \[43:58\] The other thing I'm caring for, sort of our brain/body/soul is really caring for your community, and going "In what way are your family, friendships, extended community that you're a part of - how can you still interface with them in a way that is meaningful to you, and giving back, ... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** So self-care is caring for others, too. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Yeah. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** It seems ironic. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** But recognizing how you do it is valuable... It might be you volunteer at a local soup kitchen, or you go to a nursing home, or a hospital. There's sometimes obstacles or routes that you need to adhere to or work within to do those... But you can also -- you know, the Starbucks pay it forward,... |
I love this question, and we talk about this a lot - if you want to change how you function in your life and in the world, it's asking more questions... So what's in your hand? What is in your hand that you have, that someone else could benefit from? If you're really constricted around time, I probably wouldn't try to ... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Be generous. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Yeah. When we give without expectation of receiving something back, it just has a different qualitative feel, and it further enhances that sense of meaning, and social connection. And this is another aspect of self-care that's really challenging right now, because our connections are restricte... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Right. Self-care might be hanging out with a friend or two and actually laughing. In the same room. Not latent on Zoom, or FaceTime, or a phone call, or whatever it might be. In real-time, with no latency, and you can see and enjoy their laugh. Laughing is such a big deal. I laughed really hard abou... |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Yeah, it's so true. And even just smiling. For me, that's part of why I do this podcast - it makes me happy; I want to give back, and give people access to resources and information they might not have known. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** She smiles a lot during the show. You can't see her, but she does. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** One of these days maybe we'll include video in some way that you can see. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yes, yes. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** \[47:37\] But so, getting practical and going "What do we do?" I want you to imagine that you could -- there's so many resources online with self-care ideas, and we'll post some in the show notes for you guys. But I want you to literally create your own self-care plan. What things speak to you... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** All too often we do the things on our calendar. How novel of an idea is that? ...I put it on my calendar and I prioritize it. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Yeah, I love this. One of the things from a good friend of mine that shared, because she's very type A and likes to complete her list, that she would literally put "Read book" on her list. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yes... |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** And you know, this is one - as life has slowed and changed a bit... I've mentioned I like to read, but I often read non-fiction or other brain-based books... And so I started reading fiction, because it's a little sort of hiatus; it doesn't have to be for a certain amount of time... But it's a... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah. The accountability thing, too - even calendaring can be accountability, in the fact that sometimes it might include others, so you can invite them to that calendar item... And letting down a friend is a bummer. The last few times I've gotten out to ride, to use that as an example, was because ... |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Yup. And we've talked about this in other shows, to go "What's the best-friend test? If this were my best friend, what would I tell them to do, or how would I respond to them?", and let that be true for you as well. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah. |
**Mireille Reece, PsyD:** Look, we're always learning and growing, and that's really what we hope for all of you as well - when you recognize that there's a problem or a constraint, that you don't simply get fixated on the what associated with the challenge, like "What challenge?" and then ruminate around that... But r... |
So give us feedback; we always love to hear from you guys... And until next time. |

**Mireille B. Reece, Psy.D:** I'm curious, Adam - I have a question for you today. I wanna know what is your first memory? Do you remember how old you were, where you were, what pictures or sounds are you able to recollect? |
**Adam Stacoviak:** No sounds, but it would have been before 2,5, because my dad passed away, and my memory is the furthest one back that I can think of. And I've had other people agree that this could be a memory, so I've often wondered if it really is a true memory... And it's my dad standing at the front door -- he'... |
**Mireille B. Reece, Psy.D:** I know. I love it. That just makes me smile, thinking of those things... Because I think a lot of people might be curious about why they remember what, and why one thing stands out from another, and sort of how does this whole process of memory work - does it just happen, is it happenstanc... |
