We are excited to bring you this edition of your Weekly Winning Resource all about the word self-care. It is so important to take care of your body, mind, and soul everyday and not just when you’re not well, or when you’re feeling at your wits end. Self-care is a daily habit that we must create and pay close attention to. Why do we put our self-care last? There are many reasons, but some of them are, we’re too busy, too stressed, and too consumed with technology. Additionally, we think it’s too selfish. Because of these reasons and more, we can feel guilty taking time out for ourselves. The truth is, self-care is the least selfish thing we can do. When you put yourself first, you give the world the best of you and not what’s left of you! How can giving the world the best of you be selfish? Exactly, it’s not! In fact, it’s the least selfish thing you can do. Why? Because self-care takes work and discipline. Discipline can feel hard and out of our comfort zone. It’s easier to just be “too busy”. So, when you take time for yourself, you make good choices in your eating habits, you exercise, you get good rest, and you pamper yourself when you need it, you aren’t being selfish, you’re being selfless. Being selfish is doing the easier things like eating fast and unhealthy instead of planning your meals and cooking, laying on the couch binge watching Netflix instead of exercising, not getting ample rest, and over busying yourself by saying yes too much. If you are tired, burnt out, and have no energy, how can you possibly show up being the best version of yourself? You can’t, and that’s why taking care of yourself has to be a priority if you are going to have the life you want and achieve your goals and dreams.
