Self-care is the act of taking care of yourself, physically and emotionally. It is important to nurture both your body and your mind. When you take care of yourself, you are investing in your own wellbeing.
Self-care is a win-win situation! It allows you to be a better parent, partner, child, friend, professional, and employee. We become better individuals as we enhance our self-care skills. Being in touch with your own needs and feelings enables you to demonstrate greater empathy and compassion for others. If you want to have the energy and resources available to help others, you need to take care of yourselves first. This means filling your emotional and physical buckets so that you can then give back to your family, friends, or anyone else who needs it.
