Self care is any action you purposefully take to improve your physical, emotional or spiritual well being. Too often, we do not make time for sufficient self care because we’re too busy taking care of others. Life’s demands at home, in our community and at work can take our lives out of balance. Self care can be getting more rest, eating healthier food, spending more time in thoughtful reflection, being kinder to yourself, smiling more, playing, or engaging in any activity that renews you. By making time for self care, you prepare yourself to be your best so you can share your gifts with the world. You cannot serve from an empty vessel. © 2017 Eleanor Brownn eleanorbrownn.com.

About This Quote

Self-care is an important part of personal growth. This does not mean that you are not responsible for helping others in your community. As much as you can, however, you should make time for yourself in order to be well and to be at your best. This is true of both your physical and spiritual health and of your relationships with others. When we take care of ourselves, we are more likely to be able to help others and we are able to enjoy our lives more fully.
