What is self-care? Is it going to yoga several times a week? Is it meditation? There seems to be some preconceived notions about it, so I decided to look it up. Basically, it's whatever activities & practices that you do that can enhance your health & well-being, manage your stress & help you stay positive. Sounds good, right? I recently read an article about why self-care isn't just for the 1 percent. I know many people think … [Read more...]
