It's incredibly important that we practice self-care in this role because we need to be able to have a full cup and abundant source of energy. When we are at our best selves, we are able to authentically help others. If we want to be a shining light to guide the way for others, we have to make sure we can shine! That starts with self-care and realizing our own needs.

Some ways I can make sure to take care of myself are through good sleep, decompressing daily through mindfulness and meditation, eating healthy foods, and connecting with others.

It's also crucial to find enjoyable activities and hobbies and spend time with loved ones. I enjoy spending quality time with my children and my family. I love sitting outside in nature. I love calm music, hot baths, and massages.

These are all part of the things I incorporate to help myself grow, flourish, and change lives. Every step we take to take care of ourselves is a step for others, too.
