What’s the first thing that comes to mind when I say the words self-care?
For many, it’s things like eating well, moving your body, and getting adequate sleep. For others, it’s getting a massage, scheduling a vacation, or spending time with friends.
The thing is, these are just PART of the self-care equation! TRUE self-care is about much more…yet it isn’t as complicated or difficult to do as many of us think, nor is it a luxury. In fact, I’d argue that supportive self-care is an essential element of achieving success.
So what does true self-care that supports our efforts to achieve our goals entail?
Taking care of your physical health. Without good health, everything else in life becomes more challenging.
Taking care of our mental & emotional health. So much of our experience of the world happens in our own minds; this is why nurturing our thinking (and therefore the emotions it creates) is critical.
Taking care of our community needs. Humans are designed to live in a community with others. Doing so in ways that honor our needs is a skill that will serve us well.
