It’s not something that is given, it’s something that is worked for. It’s time to take your health into your own hands, and while achieving health seems like a daunting task, it’s really all about self-care.
As our lives go on and we get wrapped up in the chaos, prioritizing self-care becomes increasingly important. Yet what is self-care to you?
The concept of self-care is about empowering individuals, families and communities to practice healthy habits, prevent disease and cope with illness or disability to achieve optimum health. It could be improving literacy, to cutting your nails – anything that betters YOU.
When I think of self-care, I think of things that I do on a regular basis to improve health. While I wish I could say I workout daily, I’m happy with my 3-4 times per week. I am also mindful that sleep is crucial, as is taking my daily vitamins.
When something just isn’t right and I know ‘a fix’ isn’t in my scope, I look to a medical professional. I also recognize the importance of downtime, slowing life down and making time to enjoy life’s moments. Dry flaky skin isn’t healthy and is downright uncomfortable, so I moisturize daily whether that sun is hot or the air is winter dry. As you can see, self-care is endless from the small everyday TLC to the big tasks.
