2.The practice of taking an active role in protecting one’s own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress.

I know we’ve been taught;

God first, (this one is true for me)
Husband
Family
Community
Job/purpose

I would like to debunk this truth. Because I didn’t see you anywhere on that list. You cannot give to others what you don’t have yourself.

Self-care helps you to maintain a healthy relationship with yourself so that you can be the best version of yourself for other people.

Everyone around you also benefits from you taking care of yourself.

Also, having a self-care routine leave you looking rested and slows the aging process down.

I would like to set a new standard;

God first
Yourself
Husband
Family
Purpose
Community

What will be your self-care routines? What will it take to make you feel taken care of so you can take care of the humans you’ve been entrusted with.

Write it in your self-care journal and then incorporate it on your schedule. Yes, put yourself on the calender and make YOU a priority.

So here is my self-care plan and routine that I’ve wrote it in my journal and scheduled on my calendar.
