During these strange times taking care of yourself should be your top priority.
It’s not being selfish. It’s being sensible. It’s being responsible. And to be perfectly honest, why on earth shouldn’t you be paying yourself the same kind attention as you are probably giving to everyone else.
A self-care routine is vital for your survival right now, so you need to start thinking about it and all the other things that are attached to the word self with a hyphen.
Self-love
Self-worth
Self-care
Self-expression
Self-compassion
Self-responsibility
You can use any extra word really, so take a minute and see if there are any different ones that you might need to add to your own list.
One of the alternatives that I think is particularly necessary at the moment is self-kindness.
So your thought for the day is:
What way you can exercise self-kindness today?
And, if you think you can’t do it, or worse than that – you shouldn’t do it, please ask yourself why and do something about it.
