Self-Care Indulgence
“ Rest and self-care are so important . When you take time to replenish your spirit , it allows you to serve others from the overflow . You cannot serve from an empty vessel .”― EleanorBrownn
In generations past , only self-absorbed women entertained the notion of putting themselves first . Today , as modern women , we tend to spread ourselves thin wearing the many hats we wear . It ’ s no wonder we find very little time to take care of ourselves ! So yes , Eleanor Brownn ’ s quote rings true – we cannot adequately and sufficiently take care of others until we make it a priority to , first , take good care of ourselves . Otherwise , how else will we be able to be happier parents , grateful spouses , or fully-engaged in joyfully fulfilling our purpose ?
So , what is self-care ? In a few words , self-care ensures that mind , body , and spirit – our interconnected trinity that forms the whole of our well-being – are in harmony .

Thankfully , there are serious alternatives for those of us who do not have boatloads of disposable income .

Physical Wellness
Physical Wellness tops the list . We have had to make unprecedented lifestyle adjustments over the last year due to the pandemic , and it is essential that we maintain good physical health . Our busy lives can be overwhelming and stressful . A healthy lifestyle choice is important ; this includes getting sufficient rest , exercise and consuming a healthy diet , to improve not only your physical health but also your mental health . All of which are great stress-reducing starters and important longterm benefits for our self-care journey .

Just a note on mental wellness : if you are feeling depressed , consistently having negative thoughts and emotions , or having difficulty managing stress levels , it is important that professional help is sought .
