You cannot pour from an empty cup.
This simple analogy holds a lot of weight. The importance of self care is heightened when we are forced to (or choose to) care for others.
Self care covers such a broad spectrum incorporating physical activity, clean eating, rest, quality sleep, fresh air. But it also includes less tangible things like meditation, self respect, trusting your instincts, living according to your values, learning new things, reaching out for help when you need it, minimising negative thoughts, actively taking part in hobbies, maintaining friendships and being grateful for what you have.

Self care means following your dreams - having the strength to say no when you need to and not being afraid to say yes to new adventures. Self care means putting yourself first without being selfish. Self care is ensuring your cup is always full enough that you have some left over to share with the ones you love.
