Self-care may be defined by the term itself – caring for yourself ❤
It includes anything you do to keep yourself healthy, both physically, mentally and spiritually. In a world that’s moving faster than ever and were we are expected to achieve everything on a higher level, it’s even more important to take time, slow down and practice a little self-care. Burning the candle at both ends, so to speak, comes with significant consequences, including burnout, stress, depression, anxiety, resentment, and a whole lot of negative implications. Practicing self-care is something I’ve been working hard to put as a priority and now I would like to encourage you to do the same! 🙂
