Self Care
Put your oxygen mask on first before you help others!
This advice is critical. We can not provide for our families if we do not take care of ourselves.
Self Care ensures that we live a longer, healthier and balanced lives. It also drastically improves our productivity and our mental health which is very important. This therefore improves our ability to provide for ourselves and loved ones.
Some easy tips I have implemented in my self care routine are:
1) Taking at least 5 minutes of uninterrupted personal time each day to relax and clear my mind.
2) Rewarding myself with a small treat at the end of the work week or even doing something that I love(painting and photography)
3) Find time to exercise at least once a week. I choose to walk or jog in a nearby park.
4) Finally I make a conscious effort to only surround myself with positive persons.
However, don’t forget the second part of the advice..which is to help others. We can do so by being by small acts of kindness or simply just being a listening ear to our friends and family.

Thanks for this great post.
To think of ourselves is also generosity.
We will always take care better of others
if we feel good with ourselves.
Have a great day!

Great post...yes, I am guilty of doing everything else and taking any time for myself. Thanks for helping to get back on track.
Your blog is delightful. It's easy to understand and easy for anyone to incorporate into their own life. Thank you for remembering to put the part in about keeping hydrated. That is so important. Thank you for this service that you just gave to all of us. When you're young it's easy to take health for granet.
Peace💗
I take time to read positive things early to start my day. We believe if you can't say something or write something positive don't do it.
I exercise each day, not the same but try to exercise heavy 3-4 x's each week.
Encouraging others is good self-care, and helpful in many ways.
I have liked several pages on Facebook that provide them, but I also read scripture in the morning and another book of positive thoughts.
Great post, great points.
I have been saying, regarding our roles as affiliate marketers helping others : "Do WELL< by doing GOOD"
Blessings!

A good reminder of taking ourselves seriously and understanding that we are important. Thanks for the great write.
My self love or taking care for myself is to first pay myself when I get paid. I take myself out to reward myself after every well done work and or worthwhile task performed.
Keep sharing.
