You Owe Yourself; A Thought about Self-Care

A friend shared a meme with me that talks about the importance of self-care. It brought to mind the non-negotiables we can incorporate into our day in order to ensure that we are taking care of ourselves when lives are busy and our to-do lists are long. The meme was authored by Sarah W. Brassard @ Projecthappiness_org:

You owe yourself one hour a day of self-maintenance.

It can include reading, writing, yoga, exercise,

mediation, dancing, sauna, painting, walking or

whatever, but you owe it to yourself.

One hour.

1/24 of your day. That's less than 5%.

It matters. It really does.

When we think about self-care, we may not always think about it's role of maintaining our calmness, our ability to be grounded, our ability to slow down. What a lovely way to think about it, and a gift to ourselves. One hour. :) Photo by Seven Shooter on Unsplash
