Self-Care

Self-care is the foundation for a happy life and better well being. For me self-care is me time. I spend one evening a week by myself. This usually includes soaking in the bathtub with Epsom salt while I read recipes or play Cross-Stitch World. I then head up to my bedroom and do a face mask, hair mask and foot mask while watching Food Network. It is an important part of my week that I have to force myself to do.

I am a very impatient person and taking the time to slow down to take care of myself is actually very difficult for me. I give myself 100% to my family and home. Everything comes before me. In the last year, I've slowed down and done more for myself, and let me tell you, I'm a better person than when I ignore my own needs. I used to run on stress and was never really happy. I have become a much nicer and happier person simply by remembering that I can't always do everything.

Take time out of your hectic life and do something for yourself. It will make a big difference. I promise
