The Importance of Self Care

Self-care - what is it and is it important? You have probably heard these words spoken often, especially over the past couple of years as we have experienced more stress and constant lockdowns. Self-care is more than just doing "Treat yourself Sundays"- self-care means taking care of your whole well-being so that you can be well, take care of others and do your job. Taking care of your body by eating healthy organic foods and wearing organic cotton clothes are just a few ways to self care but there are so many more aspects of your life that you should monitor and care for.
