Between work and life, most of us are juggling a lot. When our to-do list is demanding, taking care of ourselves often drops to last priority.
Practicing self-care does not mean you are choosing yourself over your loved one. It means that you are simply being mindful of your own needs, so you are better able to support the people you care about. When you take care of yourself and are not stressed, you are better able to meet the needs of others.

Do take a relaxing bath maybe once a week, go for a walk in nature, light a candle and have some tea, do a face mask, meditate, do some yoga, try a new creative class, practice gratitude, write in your journal. Basically do something for yourself that feels good.
