Selfcare is self love being practiced so it is a must for your health happiness and well-being
Selfcare is self love being practiced so it is a must for your health happiness and well-being and not in a ego way – it’s NOT believing you are better than anyone else. It’s NOT about self indulgence or over pampering – or spoiling. Although that’s okay to a certain point.
Self love is a necessity not a luxury
Self love is caring for yourself mind, emotions, body and soul. It’s about caring for your health, happiness and well-being. Being the best you can be not just for you but for those that you love too.
It’s about doing what’s right for you regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Be true to you!
It’s about self respect- respecting yourself when you are tired and need a rest-take a rest.
Listen to your body and mind when you need to rest that is selfcare
When you need some time-out to yourself, because life’s been busy and hectic and your overwhelmed by it all – give yourself some time-out and relax.
When you need to lighten up and have some fun because you’ve been working hard or life has become too serious – go have some fun.
Do what you need to do for you.
Be kind to you
Selfcare is about kindness too. If you feel you failed at something or you are not at your best then that’s okay – you are human. Learn to accept yourself, flaws an all. No one is perfect, you are doing your best right now and that’s enough! So be kind to you.
If you don’t take care of you how can you take care of others?
If you don’t take good care of yourself, how can you possibly take good care of others? You can’t give what you haven’t got can you. If you are worn out, tired, unwell or miserable because you haven’t been taking care of yourself, then how on earth are you going to be at your best? How can you look after others then? I know for some of us, this is hard.. took me a long time to figure this out, without the feeling of guilt. But it really is an important lesson to learn. I learnt the hard way. I became really unwell before I ” got it “. Now I know.
