If you’re unsure what ‘self-care’ actually means…you’re not alone 🥴
With every man and his dog trying to flog you something under the increasingly important umbrella term of self-care, it’s no wonder so many of us are confused about what it really is 🤷♀️
All of us want to be happy and healthy, it’s human nature. But without knowing what self-care really looks like, how can we expect to keep ourselves nourished, energised and most importantly feeling good?
What self-care is:
Time taken to do things that help you live well - improving your health (physical and mental) and sense of wellbeing.
A lifestyle approach: a consistent self-nourishment and replenishment of energy & vitality.
What self-care is not:

So, what is ‘wellbeing?’
Wellbeing (also called wellness, prosperity or quality of life) refers to what is intrinsically valuable to someone.
It describes what is ultimately good for a person (physically, mentally, emotionally) or what is in the self-interest of this person. This makes wellbeing unique to all of us! We're not all made well by the same things...
Without adequate self-care, our busy modern-day lives can quickly leave you feeling heavy, slow and sluggish, stressed, overwhelmed and out of balance.
But when we harness self-care, it’s much easier to take daily life in your stride; leaving you feeling aligned and purposeful, easeful and balanced, empowered and productive.
