Self Care Quotes

Good morning all, hope everyone’s well. We’ve finally got internet in the house, although getting it wasn’t without its problems as originally we were suppose to have it installed Last Wednesday, but the engineer didn’t show up, so my dad to phone them up on Thursday as we spoke to them (through a LiveChat system) for over 2 hours for them to want us to pay for an engineer to come out as apparently they don’t need to come out and we can just plug it in and it should work, we did everything they said and nothing, turns out that we did actually need an engineer to come out and connect it all as the Line connection to the socket wasn’t right and it wouldn’t have worked anyway. So that thankfully got sorted on Friday quite quickly and without costing us. What is it with everyone wanting your money? Anyway, other than that, I’ve had to pace myself a lot as I seem to have took a spiral even more with my health, I seem to be having a crash within a crash even though I still haven’t recovered from my relapse almost 3 months ago. 

As mentioned above about having to pace myself a lot more, it’s made me think a lot about self care. It’s incredibly important that each of us takes the time to practice self care. Not just a shallow “bubble baths and pedicures” form of self care (though those are both fun, too) — but a meaningful, intentional, thoughtful self care, that actually helps us. When we practice genuine self care, we get the opportunity to understand ourselves better, recharge our batteries before they’re empty, and maintain the ability to make a difference for our loved ones and communities. . In need of some motivation for self care? Start your mornings with these quotes or read them at night, or anytime you wish, to make self-care a part of your life and mind every day. Hopefully they help and inspire you to consistently take some more time for yourself.

Self-care can come in the form of simply stepping out into nature, or reading inspiring patience quotes to ensure that you are taking the time you need for yourself.

Taking care of your mental, emotional and physical self is essentially a form of active living. Self care allows you to regenerate your mind, body & spirit, so that you can continue to grow as a person. Taking time to nurture yourself is critical for your well-being, and it’s hard to take care of others close to you if you do not first care for yourself. Taking care of yourself is not a sign of weakness, but a sign that you have the inner-strength to give your body what it needs to feel nourished, loved and cared for. Self care is important, not just for your physical health but also for your mental and emotional well being. When we take care of ourselves by practicing self care in various ways, it’s easier to give more back to the people we love. These quotes on self care are a great reminder that all people need to be a priority, including you.
