Our Therapists Confirm, Self Care is Not Selfish
/
We never stop. As women we are always on the go, cooking, cleaning, working, doing. We forget that taking care of others, includes taking care of ourselves. Our own guilt plays a role in how much we do and how little we stop to think about us.
Self care is not selfish.
Self care is necessary.
We can not expect our minds, bodies and souls to keep functioning if we do not take a moment to unplug. In a world of instant gratification in which everything is at our finger tips, it is ironic that we do not find a way to stop and just relax.
Imagine if we reset and took a moment everyday to practice a self care routine? What are some ways you can self-care today?
Turn off your phone
Walk outside
Sit in sunlight
Meditate
Eat a healthy snack
Try a magnesium salt bath
Treat yourself to a massage
Practicing self care is a way we show ourselves love, gratitude and appreciation. Lets face it, if we loved ourselves more, we would have an easier time in our roles as wives, mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, students, colleagues, bosses and friends. Self care is self love and that is the greatest gift you can ever give yourself.
