Good sleep equates to good health

Self-care is anything we do to take care of our self so we can stay physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually well.    It is not from a place of selfishness, where the focus is on “me, myself and I”. But from a place that says I cannot serve others effectively if I do not care for myself.

Self-care activities for you to choose, make it a lifestyle.
