The goals to self-care are simple:
* Healthy Mind
* Healthy Body
* Healthy Spirit
The point of self-care isn't just about giving yourself a break. It's about becoming skilled at identifying your needs by listening to you mind, body, and spirit. And not just long-term needs, but also immediate needs, the needs you have at this very moment. Treat yourself with the kindness you extent to everyone around you. It means supporting yourself the way you support people who are dear to you.
Your are valuable, capable, and deserving of self-care.
Don't just take up Yoga and think that's all you need. Because it's not. You need to take the time and attention to do many small acts and an attitude shift. These will start to make you feel valuable, healthier and make the atmosphere healthier around you.
Self-care involves scheduling things so that they don't reach problem status and include being kind to your future self by not leaving her a mess to handle.
