The Truth About Self-Care (+ support for these times)

This morning it was cold, raining, the time change was affecting my sleep, I had a stuffy nose and all I wanted to do was pull the covers over my eyes and go back to sleep. Sometimes, more rest is exactly what I need. But this morning, I lovingly pushed myself to put on my workout clothes and get out the door to my nature-based workout. How do you know when to nudge and when to do less? Watch a two-minute self-care reminder to support you this week:

Want more? Read: Self-Care is Not About Self-Improvement.

Now, more than ever, we need to be vigilant about putting our self-care front and center. There is truly nothing more important. When we fully show up for ourselves, we’re wiser and more effective and we encourage those around us to show up for themselves. “Self-care is not about self-indulgence. It’s about self-preservation.” -Audre Lorde
