“Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what’s left of you.”
~ Katie Reed
It never hurts to remind myself that my self-care is the most important job I have. That taking time to recharge, think about myself, care about myself is a productive, positive process. I am my own priority! Your self-care is your priority. Part of self-care is to recognize that it is okay to not be okay and not have all the answers! Self-care is not a selfish act it is an act of necessity. Self-care is critical to our overall wellbeing! Engaging in self-care can lower anxiety, depression, stress, and anger while improving concentration, happiness, and vitality.
Self-care can be as simple as an afternoon nap, a walk, a talk with a friend, simply time for yourself. It is up to each of us to find the best of ourselves, in every day while finding what feeds our soul. Self-care that makes you rested and the most at peace with who you are. Self-care that helps us to pause, relax, reflect, and recharge, feel our best and live well.
