Self care is important aspect of life. In order to care for those around you and for you to be a better version of yourself, you have to take care of yourself. You cannot give to others if you don’t fill your own cup first. It doesn’t mean you are to be selfish in a bad way but in a good way. You taking care of yourself is important because it allows you to be who you were intended to be and really live on purpose and with joy. It doesn’t have to be complicated, it could mean something as simple as taking 15 minutes to yourself to do something that you absolutely love. It could be reading a book, reading a magazine, sitting on the beach, going for a walk, listening to music, taking a bath, taking a moment to think and be grateful, exercise, meditate, pray, do an activity you absolutely love etc. It could be all sorts of things. Only you know what lights you up. If you have spent countless of days, months or even years ignoring your needs and what lights you up, you might need to take some time and think what is that you really love to do and what would bring you ultimate joy. This is crucial to figure out what is it that you enjoy in life. If you feel overwhelmed with the idea, then just pick something, anything and you’ll soon figure out if that is what really fills your cup. If you find yourself feeling miserable or depressed or completely depleted it could be because you have pushed yourself aside for too long. It’s time to honor yourself and give yourself love. Start today and commit to doing this everyday.
