Self-Care
Self-Care is not only taking care of yourself physically, we need to take care of ourselves biologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. Self-care is not just drinking water, eating three meals a day, exercising, and getting eight hours of sleep. Self-care brings us joy, feeds our soul, and empties our bucket.
Examples of self-care:
Creating a morning routine.
Create an evening routine.

“Slumber Party”: Take your comforter from your bed and drag it out into the living room, making a cozy bed on the floor with popcorn and your favorite snacks, and watch a movie.
