What is self care and why do we need it?

Self-care is the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one’s own health. Self-care can take many forms from physical, mental, and spiritual health and wellness.

This all can be achieved from doing various activities even as simple as drinking enough water. Some other examples would be exercising, that could be weight training, walking, running, jogging, yoga, or really anything that gets you moving.

Also making sure you are eating and drinking that right foods and liquids that provide the right energy that your body needs. Another would be spiritual meditation.

Whatever that looks like for you make sure you take the time. But mainly take your “me” time. Take time to self reflect, if work or the quarantine is making you stressed take 10, 20, 30 minutes or however long to do something you truly enjoy doing. This time can be difficult for all of us. Make sure you’re taking care of yourself as you are taking care of others.”
