- What happens if you push yourself too hard? What happens when your body tells you to stop yet, you keep going? Portia shares how self-care brought her back to health and it can help you too. Portia is passionate about promoting a holistic and inclusive approach to self-care that takes into consideration how cultural and social factors as well as experiences of discrimination based on identity markers (e.g. race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation) may trigger one's need for self-care and shape one's willingness--or reluctance---to engage in self-care practices.
Preston has been an Assistant Professor of Public Health at Cal State Los Angeles for the past three years, and will transition to Cal State Fullerton, this Fall. Her research focuses on addressing health disparities and promoting health equity through inclusive approaches to self-care at the individual and organizational level. She earned her Doctorate of Public Health from UCLA, a Masters of Public Health in Health Behavior and Health Education from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and her Bachelors degree in Cultural and Social Anthropology from Stanford University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Self care according to society is that it's focused on the individual ,it reflects society's value of self reliance. It's flawed.
But what self-care really is ?
Self care is any practice that help to manage anxiety and stress and promote well being.
Self care categories :
1. Physical self care - walking or dancing or exercising.
Medical routine and dental care.
2. Psychological self care - writing journal daily for self reflection that helps to set realistic goals , better understand needs and process stressful situations.
3. Emotional self care - having compassion for oneself everyday in life.
4. Spiritual self care - connecting regularly with source of faith n hope being part of faith community and spending time in nature.
5. Relational self care - spending time with family , true friends and partner.
6. Professional self care - pursuing work that is invigorating , setting boundaries around that work and establishing mechanisms for support from peers and mentors.
Also ,
Decrease stress
Improve nutrition & physical activity regimen
Shedding weight ( healthy regimen )
Self care should be a practical reality after all.

4:08 in fact, I was rewarded for NEGLECTING self care...I felt that
Why doesn't this talk get more views??? It's inspiring and eye-opening!
Few watch because most avoid selfcare because, like she said, we think of it as massages and spas! Who wants to watch a video about that... especially when we're not getting them? But I work with caregivers, so you know I'm gonna pass this on to EVERYBODY! Yasss!!!
Your decision of sharing your story and your story in itself is inspirational! It demonstrates how human beings should care for others. Thank you for setting the example and the tips on how to practice self care. Best wishes in all your endeavors!
Dr. Jackson-Preston, eloquently put and TRUE WORDS to LIVE by! KUDOS!!!!
This speech gave me goosebumps... so much thoughtful and detailed. One cannot take self care lightly. I am taking notes and something is crying within me at the same time and feel like I do need to take some time back for myself. Thank you for sharing these thoughts. Best regards !
Great presentation. Having the community support and the support of our work organizations is vital to our mental and physical health. It definitely help us stay accountable for our individual self care.
Yes, this support is key! It can help or hinder our ability to care for ourselves!
You are telling my story I am sitting here in bed with a blood pressure 160/80 and still trying to jump in the care and go shopping thank you for helping me see that my self care is important so that I can live the abundant life all the things you talked about were issues I was feeling this morning thank you
Thank you so much for you testimony and courage. You truly gave insight.
Your story is very inspirational! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you! It was my honor!
This is so valuable! Self Care is so underrated but it's so important for us 💛

You are amazing Dr Portia!!!
Had to watch this for COUN3000 class and I am so glad I did. What a great message on the importance of self-care in all spheres of life.
Wow thank you so much for sharing this.
Wonderful points! I’m inspired to look at self-care from different angles. Thank you
Thank you so much.
I’m glad I found this video. My physical and mental health has reached a breaking point. You beautifully articulated what I have been feeling and how to move forward. Thank you.
I'm SO glad it could help you! You are worthy of this time you are investing in yourself. I am developing videos on my channel and elsewhere to explain how I continue to heal and move forward.
I'm Proud & Happy of u &for your this Valuable Imformation
Such a fantastic ted talk, as a university student and pre service teacher i too share the same beliefs , this video was so insightful and i will aim to take action to look at myself from the inside out.
Kind regards, from Australia :)
Splitting self care into seven different areas has really changed the way I view myself and my life. Once I started addressing separate areas, my whole life changed. I've never worked on all seven areas at once though. I'm just starting to do that so it's inspiring to know that is possible and has such great results. Thank you!
I'm so happy to hear this!! Yes, it took me years to work up to thinking through self-care in a multidimensional and holistic manner. I always tell people its okay to focus on making changes in one or two areas that resonate with you most, while staying mindful about where you are regarding the other areas.
@@askdrportia definitely. Baby steps is sometimes the only way forward for me. Crawling is better than staying completely still. Self care doesn't have an end date for me so any forward motion is progress. Thank you, Dr!!
Thank you!
Extremely Valuable! Great Job
Thank you very much for sharing this important information.
Thank you for sharing your story; i needed to hear this.
Much Gratitude SisGod❤
Thank you! It is my honor to share my journey with you!
wow wow wow wow. I am a peer educator at the University of California Riverside and I was assigned a chapter of "Holistic Leadership" in my class to create a video about! The chapter pertains to the development of the whole person and my thoughts were to make self-care the objective in order to hit the major points of the chapter. You conveyed the holistic words, moral like actions, and inclusive words that I was looking for to make my presentation relevant and more significant then just putting on a face mask. thank you so much!! I wish you well and will definitely be reverting to this video in the future. :,)
Diego, your message below me away! Thank you for taking the time to share this. First of all, I'm so glad to hear that you are learning about holistic leadership in your role as a peer educator. Second, I'm so glad that my talk helped you find your way to developing what sounds like an awesome presentation! I'm devoted to continuing to share my journey, so if there is something I can address on my RUclips channel in the future, just let me know!
You were very clear, precise, and confident with your presentation. Thank you
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic Tedx talk!
Wonderful TED talk
she is amazing and so inspiring!
Thank you for sharing your story. It is very inspiring and informative. I am looking for model for my self care and will definitely help me to develop my self care habits and rituals. Blessed day to you 🙏
I can't stop watching your videos. Addicted! 😅
You're beautiful and brilliant. Thank you for sharing...I have immense respect for your honesty, ambition and desire to share. Too often women run themselves into the ground with the best of intentions...I'm one of them. Bless you.
Thank you, Kelly!! I am so happy that you found encouragement in my journey. Continue to learn from the choices you are making and find ways to take care of yourself that fit your lifestyle. Its easy to prioritize the work over ourselves, but in the long run, we end up selling ourselves (and those we love) short.
That was great! So proud of you.
Thank you!! I appreciate you for supporting my journey from the very beginning!~

Totally agreed. She spoke her truth. It's so important to care of oneself.
Excellent presentation!
That was wonderful! I love how you connected self care to systematic issues and solutions as well as made it practical for most people to work towards! So inspiring and informative 🙌🏽💛
Thank you, Bree! That is my goal in a nutshell! You've always been a light when it comes to identifying practical ways for people to care for themselves.
Very nice presentation to bring awareness to those factors that affect us all. How to take steps which not only help us in the work place, but in our personal lives. Taking care of our health is so important, both physical and mental.
Thank you so much! I am glad to hear that you found the steps actionable! That was my intention!
Self Care is so important & a lot of us feel guilty for taking care of oneself. But it's so important!

Yes self-care is so important to the system as a whole. If we can support each other in self-care we can support each other as a whole way more.
Yes, it is the foundation! Thank you!
I totally agreed with this statement. Self Care is very underrated & productivity is so idolized in our society today.
Nice

How can you talk so nicely
I was actually quite nervous in the beginning, Kary! Thank you!!! To be honest, I just tried to focus on one person in the audience, and imagined I was speaking directly to them.

Am I a man or muppet
Honestly this lady still has many emotionally problems, not by how she speaks in this video but in other material she has.
