What is Self-Care?    

              Self-care is about taking care of the most important person in your life - you.  Women often pay attention to the needs of everyone else in their lives (e.g. children, partner, friends, co-workers, animals), but neglect themselves. 

             As caretakers, women tend to feel guilty and selfish about seizing self-care time.  A woman’s self-care is not just important, but essential for well-being.  Rather, at SASC we see self-care time as a refresher—when you feel rejuvenated and happy, you will be better able to support others.

            Self-care can be anything you want it to be: anything that uplifts your mood, energizes you, and makes you fell better about yourself.  So, whenever you feel scattered, upset, lonely, scared, angry...ask yourself:  What is the most loving thing I can do for myself at this very moment?

       Self-care could be:
      ♥ a bubble bath  ♥ watching a movie  ♥ a cup of tea ♥ having a nap
      ♥ a day away from the children ♥ journaling ♥ reading a book
      ♥ listening to music ♥ going out for a walk ♥ baking, cooking
      ♥ taking the phone off the hook ♥ making a collage
