7 Benefits of Self Care & Why it’s so important right now

Daily Mom Grinds -Balanced and Joyful Living for Working Mothers

Today's episode is on the importance and benefits of Self Care. As I am editing, researching, and adding my references; I'm seeing heart wrenching stories that leave me feeling out of sorts. It almost feels like daily there is yet another unfortunate occurrence.

The following 3 stories stick out to me:

Shanquella Robinson's Death in Cabo, Father Believes Attack Was a Set Up

Killer who stabbed 4 University of Idaho students still at large

Father of ex-UVA football player accused of shooting 3 students speaks out

I believe that right now, we should hug and love our family/loved ones. Life is so precious and it's a blessing to awaken and see each day. Some people won't get the opportunity.

The question I think many of us should ask ourselves is how do we feel right now? If the answer is anything less than pretty good than maybe the next question should be what can I do to feel better?

I believe that remembering to practice self-care like taking a walk, remembering to pray or even something as simple as getting plenty rest when we feel weary or anxious can go a long way in helping us to feel ok. These small self-care suggestions can be a start to feeling better. I believe that when we feel better, we are better able to manage our lives.

I hope this show encourages you to check in with yourself regularly. I believe one of the best gifts we can all give ourselves this holiday season and beyond is the gift of self care. May we all take the time we need to be ok.

What are your thoughts on self-care?

I pray you have a peaceful and loving holiday....
