These past few years have been a time of fighting for what is right. Fighting for justice, fighting for our health, being aware of our impact on others, and trying to do what’s best for everyone. But it’s important to take a breath and remember that you can’t do all of that without taking care of yourself. I found these self care quotes to remind you to love yourself. Use them as motivation to focus on yourself and your health before you go out and fight again.
I was just reminded by Deepak Chopra in meditation this morning that everything you do either creates stress or balance in your body. By taking the time to do a little self care, you can stay healthy, active, full of energy, and in a state of wellness. When you are balanced, you create health and can more easily be helpful to others.
Take a few minutes to remind yourself that doing self care and loving yourself is how you can do your part to create a loving world.
