I know, self care is a total buzzword these days. You can’t turn on daytime TV or log on to social media without someone talking about self care and why it’s important. But I want to get past the pseudo-psychology and new age BS and talk about what it really means to me. Self care is really about taking even the smallest amount of time out of your day and devoting it entirely to yourself. No kids. No husband. No work. No chores. Just time for you. It’s a time when being 100% selfish is 100% the right thing to do. It’s not always easy, but the more you practice it, the better you’ll get. And I really think that taking care of others becomes easier and more effective when you can take care of yourself first.
