Self-care is a divine responsibility

If only you could live in a way where self-care was an active part of your life, so you wouldn’t crash and burn every few months or need a vacation from your everyday life. The key to self-care is finding balance and spiritual enhancement.

Marjorie and Steve Harvey are living their dreams!

So how to practice self-care to achieve overall well-being?

  1. ASK YOURSELF: What have I done for my mind today? What have I done for my body today?
    What have I done for my soul today? How have I nourished myself and joy today?
  2. START SMALL. Savor a cup of tea or your favorite meal, listen to your breath for 5 minutes each day, walk barefoot in grass, or take a long warm shower.
  3. FIND WHAT FEELS GOOD FOR YOU. What works for you, may not work for someone else, each life is unique and has its own unique demands, so determine what self-care means to you and how to apply it in your life. However there are just basics, we all know.

No matter WHAT position you occupy or what TITLE you carry or HOW spiritual you are, self-care is a divine responsibility. Tell yourself : NO more excuses! if you have not given yourself the treatment you are so deserving of. It is the only way to thrive in life.

Taking care of yourself is not a luxury, it is a DIVINE responsibility.

Couples who build date nights into their relationships experience better communication, greater affection and gratitude for the other, and a desire to spend more time together. Date night provides a welcome entertainment so couples can return to focusing on important issues without distractions.
