HOW MUCH DO YOU LOOK AFTER YOURSELF?

Self-care is important for everyone. It means taking the time to tend to your physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional well-being.

Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. It encourages you to maintain a healthy relationship with yourself so that you can transmit the good feelings to others. You cannot give to others what you don’t have yourself, so fill your cup first.

What you can do: Normalise saying yes to yourself without guilt. Set boundaries that protect your time and energy, and focus on what truly matters. Give yourself the love, care, and respect you deserve.

By doing all these, you invigorate yourself so that you can be the best version of yourself for the people around you. Everyone around you also benefits from the renewed energy and joy you exhibit.

Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what’s left of you. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so take care of yourself first.
