Self care is much more than just having a bubble bath - though I admit that is one of my favourite ways. Self care is about taking care of you mind, body, spirit and taking action to being the person you want to be and creating the life you want to live.
Those who have been long time readers of HHL already know I'm a HUGE advocate for Self Care, imagine my excitement when I discovered since 2011 countries such as: China, Mexico, South Africa, Switzerland, the United States and Vietnam have been organizing Self Care day - UK and Canada have been organizing Self Care week.
Why July 24th? according to the International Self Care Foundation "The
International Self-Care Day, 24 July, symbolises that the benefits of self-care
are experienced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In other words, the benefits of
self-care are life-long and do not just relate to a single day. ISD on 24 July
simply provides a good focus and opportunity to publicise or report on
self-care in action programmes"
In celebration of International Self Care Day - I asked some amazing, inspiring women to share how they practice self care on the daily and nurture mind body spirit. Whether you are an empty nester, single mom, city or country gal, corporate/entrepreneurness/CEO of your home, or a little potpourri of all the wonderful things women do, I am certain you will find a little of yourself in all these ladies.
Here is what they had to say:
