The word for today is SELF CARE

Self care is also self love
Which literally means prioritizing oneself above every other thing

It is an essential part of one habit in maintaining physical , emotional and mental well being
When we prioritize our self care , it reduces stress and anxiety , it improves mental clarity and increase focus , it helps boost our mood and energy , it improves our coping skills and supports our overall health and well being, for a sick body cannot perform to optimal level .

It is important to prioritize and plan our self care routine into our schedules this help in achieving our set goals in totality .

For us to be able to achieve this we can create a plan as suggested earlier with this :
– set boundaries ( people should learn to respect your space and it’s only you that can set that and pass it on )

– ⁠learn to say NO : It used to be difficult for me but now I can easily say no because I need to say No when I mean to say No , unlik before where I am always considerate of others before me .

– ⁠invest in yourself : self development is my latest past time and I am enjoying it .

– ⁠make self care an habit : Life was always about people , and I come last but I thank God for the new realization which clearly sink in , that you can only give what you have and I have to be full to give something .

– ⁠schedule self care time : My me time is no longer negotiable for I almost loss my life neglecting myself for the sake of others .

– ⁠chose activities that bring joy and relaxation : it is a zero time for any form of negativity
I now abhor such so my life is just about me and what makes me happy and comfortable

It’s good to note that self care is a journey not a destination
It is a process that is continuous
So prioritizing yourself which is the new norm is a very necessary act for living a happy , healthy and fulfilling life

I care
