I have created this BLOG because
self-care is the ultimate everyday gift
you can give to yourself - and the
people around you.
Self-care is not about going to the spa
everyday! Self-care means listening to
your body, being present and taking
care of your mental health
When you take care of your needs, you
will be recharged enough to be the best
friend, colleague or mother that you
can.
When you are full of positive energy
and feeling good about yourself, you
can do more good out there. Achieve
more. Offer more help - while keeping
your energy and vibes high.
You will be a pleasure to work with and
to be around. You may not be aware of
this - but your positive state will
inspire people around you to smile and
relax more.
Hope you enjoy the journey
Sincerely WITH me.

Or when we mistake being of service or being a good person with sacrificing our own dreams to make others happy, when we sacrifice our boundaries or keep betraying what would be best for us for the sake of making others happy. When we disconnect from our true self’s that we become people pleasers.
Once you have your self-care activities list, start by blocking some time in your calendar for yourself, set the alarm so it will remind you. It could be anything from 5 minutes per day to 30 minutes or 60 minutes per day. And during that time make sure you do something for yourself from your self-care list. You can even distribute your list through the days, see some examples on the
