Self-Care is exactly how it sounds. It is all about taking the time and prioritizing your needs. Self-Care to me is kind of a broad category, it implies everything from basic needs to doing things that will feed your mind and soul. It’s all about making your mind and body happy. 

Most people probably do regular self-care practices without calling it this, like reading before bed every night because you want to, or going out for a walk during lunch time. This is self-care. Reading before bed is something I do because it relaxes me and helps me fall asleep. Walking during lunch time is a good practice to take care of your body by getting it moving a bit after sitting at a desk all morning. 

If you’re feeling burnt-out and stressed, listen to your body. It knows what it wants. You may feel you need to start paying attention to your diet because you feel tired all the time or start going to bed early so you can get some much needed extra sleep.
