“As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” – Maya Angelou We are living in a time when other people need our help. As demands increase on your time, energy and resources, I’m wondering are you also taking the time to tend to yourself? “Taking care of myself doesn’t mean ‘me first.’ It means ‘me, too.” – L.R. Knost Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health. Although it’s a simple concept in theory, it’s something we very often overlook. Now more than ever, good self-care is key to improved mood and reduced anxiety. It’s also essential to a good relationship with oneself and others. Self-care means knowing who you are and having an awareness of your limits. Self-care means recognizing when you are doing more than you are used to, and trying to figure out the best way to maintain your well-being so you can continue to be a resource for the people you care about. During times like this, it is important we remain connected with the people who matter most. If there is any way I can help you, please let me know.
