Self-Care Is Not a Selfish Act

How many times have we found ourselves feeling stressed out because of our day to day? For many of us, quite often,for others, perhaps not so much. We are human; we feel, life happens, and we don't always have the best of days. This is a normal part of our human experience. The good news is that tough days don't last forever. Many of us take on many roles in our relationsihips with others; parent, guardian, caregiver, sibling, grandparents, teacher, student, colleague, employee, peer, friend, provider, and the list goes on. Truth of the matter is that we wear many hats. Too often we put the feelings, and needs of others first, thinking that doing something nice for others and meeting all our responsiblities is all we need to do to be well. Oftentimes, forgetting to put ourselves first, thinking that doing so is a selfsish act. Today, we want you to know that self-care is a great way to give yourself a break, kindness and compassion. The helper needs nurturing too. As cliche as this may sound, we can't pour from an empty cup.
