SELF-CARE IS NOT AN INDULGENCE

Self-care is not an indulgence. Self-care is a discipline. It requires tough-mindedness, a deep and personal understanding of your priorities, and a respect for both yourself and the people you choose to spend your life with.

For example, self-care is:

·        Turning off the TV instead of watching another episode of “The Crown” because the alarm is going off at 5am so you can get to the gym.

·        Declining the second drink at the office holiday party. It might even be declining the first drink.

·        Saying “no” to the thing you don’t want to do even if someone is going to be angry at you.

·        Maintaining financial independence.

·        Doing work that matters.

·        Letting other people take care of themselves.
