What Is Self Care?
What is self care? During this week of social media fasting I want to talk about self care as this is literally what I am doing this week. I am taking care of my peace. I know that as women we give all of ourselves. To our children, to our spouses, to family and friends and to our work. That is our nature, we take care of people even at our own expense. We will give it all until there is nothing left, until we don't even know or like who we are. We were taught we are the strong ones, that this is what we are supposed to do, without complaints. We are everything to everyone, but what about us? What's left for us? I never forgot my ah ha moment when I was watching Oprah years ago and she said the reason every time you get on an airplane and the flight attendant says if anything happens put on your mask first before helping your loved ones or children. There is a reason we must give to ourselves first because if we don't we may not have anything left over to help anyone else....
