SELF CARE ~ the deliberate actions individuals take to maintain and improve their physical, mental, and emotional health
Social Self-Care ~ boundaries are set, say NO often with a smile and say, “My schedule will not allow me to do that right now.” No apologies…No sorry…just NO. How many best friends can one really have? Do not allow loved ones to drain you with their needs which may be real. And, finally, distance yourself from toxic people and circumstances…you know who they are?
stress management, gratitude, acts of kindness, forgiveness and compassion
Three of these emotional self care practices are outside ourselves and two are internal but all are interconnected. Where we find this interconnectedness…in the WORD.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
SELF CARE ~ the practice of individuals looking after their own health using the knowledge and information available to them.
SPACE: Safety, organization, clean and tidy, security, stability
Space is order not disorder. The sea and the heavens are immense; the horizon where the hills meet the distant sea is the order of earth and heaven; it is cosmic. That cypress, tall, dark, alone, has the order of beauty.
The Beauty of Life – Krishnamurti’s Journal
