Taking care of ourselves is important because it is a stress reliever and makes you clear your mind and body .. It is important to rest so that you can save the energy for the family loved ones who loves your company , even with surrounding your self with family can be comforting and soothing .. ‘Remember you’re just important as everyone your taken care of’

It is very important to take care of ourselves, especially during triggering or traumatic situations. I to do makeup, colour or even read a book during this time. I see friends when I’m going through something.

Knowing our limits such as deciding in advance what you can handle and what you cannot. It helps us avoid situations that can be overly distressing. Seeking support within friends/family and share what you are going through also spending time with loved ones can be comforting.

Taking care of ourselves is a number one priority and is very important during triggering or traumatic situations. I like to personally write in a journal I’ve been doing that since I was 15/16 or read books and doing self care. But in tough situations I will see friends or family which makes it a little easier in a way

For me self care is getting enough sleep, don’t push yourself too much, eating healthy, exercise when you can. To relief my anxiety, stress or depression I would listen to music along with baking or cleaning.

We need to take care of ourselves before we help others. We can not help others well if we are not feeling well ourself. We need to do Self-Care, here and there. It’s ok to treat yourself once in a while.

For my Self-Care, I like to sew, bead, relax, watch movies, be with family, go for rides, listen to music, do house cleaning. I try to treat myself once a week or more if needed. When I do these things, it eases my mind, body and soul!

Reenergize, stay hydrated, stay active, be positive.
