#1: Self-Care As Self Responsibility

Self-care challenge from the website Calm Moment: www.calmmoment.com/

​"Does the term self-care leave you feeling a little uncomfortable? Does guilt literally stop you in your tracks? It comes down to how you define self-care. It is not limited to pampering indulgence: sometimes the real act of self-care is the last thing you feel like doing!

The concept that helps dial down the feeling of guilt is acknowledging that our health is our responsibility and we owe it to ourselves and those in our care to tend to it.

Self-care is health care. Engaging in it is accepting self-responsibility. It’s not luxurious or lazy, it is smart and pro-active. It is stepping up and learning how to parent ourselves. It is making the decisions that till the soil for the person you are becoming. Choose wisely! Reflect on how you think, feel and act when you are well nourished and consider how this benefits you and those around you. 

Write down three reasons why it’s ok for you to engage in daily self-care.
