In a fast-paced world, finding time for self-care can be tough. But what if our hosts Patricia Wu and Jessica Reyes told you that easing stress and anxiety could be as easy as placing your hand on your heart for 20 seconds? Let’s explore how this simple act can make a big difference, with insights from mental wellness expert Eryl McCaffrey.

Easy Self-Care


Self-compassion doesn’t have to be complicated. McCaffrey shows us how a quick 20-second gesture, like touching your heart or belly, can break negative thought patterns and ease self-criticism. It’s a simple practice you can fit into any busy day.

Healing Touch


Touch has a powerful effect on our nerves. Whether it’s a hug or a comforting touch from yourself, it can calm us down and make us feel connected. By soothing ourselves with touch, we tap into a natural need for comfort and safety.

Self-Care Basics


Just like babies need soothing touch, so do we. McCaffrey reminds us that we can comfort ourselves with gentle gestures. By doing this, we take control of our emotions and build resilience to life’s challenges.

In a world that often forgets self-care, simple acts of self-compassion can be lifesavers. Watch the video to learn more about how 20 seconds of self-care can reset your stress levels and bring you peace. It’s a small change that can make a big difference in your well-being.
