Monday Motivation: Don't put off taking care of yourself

I get it, we're all tired, stressed out and working hard but you can't forget to take care of yourself.

I’ve seen a lot of posts where people are talking about how tired and over worked they are and they tend to leave taking care of themselves or self-care off of their lists. We have got to stop doing that. Taking care of ourselves should be a priority not something we can easily push to the back burner or something we have to "earn".

Leaving self-care as something you "earn" or as a special “treat” is not the best method of taking care of yourself. As I said before, I get it, our lives are busy, so self-care get pushed aside but it should never be something we have to "earn". We don’t have to "earn" care. It's something we deserve no matter how busy our lives are.

Some of the self-care things I do are: my beauty maintenance, getting enough sleep, taking my vitamins, eating as healthy as I can, exercise or stretching my body and drinking water. I also love to relax by drinking a cup of hot tea in the morning and sometimes in the evening. I also like to meditate it gives me a sense of calmness throughout my day.

Whether it’s a five minute walk or a hydrating face mask, it's important to make sure you're taking care of yourself.
