Tending to yourself is the most loving thing you can do for yourself.
It's not a selfish thing to do. You can then extend that love out to others.
Our society moves at a fast pace 24/7 it seems like there is no shut off time. Suppose one doesn't know how to stop and connect with rhythms and cycles of life. It leads to exhaustion and ungroundedness. Which then leads to illness and disease.
All work and no play is something that also throws us off balance. I love the questions, "When is the last time I laughed, danced, or sang?" These things are so essential for our wellbeing and vitality. I know when I feel the need to reconnect, and if I know, those around me can certainly pick up on it too.
These ideas are just suggestions. Take what you like and leave the rest.
Here are 12 ideas for Self-Care
1. If you don't feel right doing it, don't do it.
