Fill Your Cup: The Importance of Self-Care
“Taking care of yourself is the most powerful way to begin to take care of others.” – Bryant McGill, author, activist and social entrepreneur
It’s important to prioritize self-care, both now and in the future. As we move beyond the pandemic, let’s make sure we’re taking care of ourselves as well as we’ve cared for others. Self-care isn’t just about getting enough rest – it’s about nourishing our minds, bodies, and spirits. Here are a few examples:
- Making sure we get enough sleep
- Eating nutritious foods
- Staying active through exercise
- Relaxing and unwinding
- Reducing stress
By prioritizing self-care, we’re able to be better caregivers to our patients and loved ones. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. For additional information on the topic, consider visiting the following websites:
