WHY SELF CARE?
WHY SELF CARE?
When we practice self-care, we also learn to value our own unique identities, which helps us appreciate and respect the diversity in others.
Taking care of ourselves allows us to be more empathetic and supportive of people from different cultures, races, and backgrounds.
By prioritizing self-care, we create a positive environment that celebrates diversity and fosters inclusion for everyone.
THE BODY KEEPS SCORE
A growing body of research suggests that mental unwellness doesn't just take a toll on our minds; it affects our physical selves as well. We need to listen to what our bodies are telling us - and care for them as diligently as we care for our thoughts.
