What is Self care?

Self care is loving yourself enough to make you a priority, simple! 

We get so caught up in our everyday lives of having to work, take care of the kids, take care of our elderly parents there seems to nothing left for you at the end of the day but pure burnout!

This is not a healthy state for the body to be in 24/7. This type of stress can bring about chronic illnesses and diseases. 

We must make it a necessary requirement to set aside 30 min or more to relax, unwind and get a mental reboot. 

Skipping your lunch breaks at work because you don’t want to fall behind in your work is making work a priority rather than yourself is a big no no! 

This happens in the world of healthcare all the time. Healthcare workers and caregivers tend to do this quite often but we need to be more mindful of these unhealthy habits.
