Self Care

✋🏼Can we stop glorifying self care as…

• A cupcake.
• A glass of wine.
• A Netflix binge.

Here’s the truth few “influencers” will tell you-

Self care is…

• Doing what you said you would do. 
• Moving your body everyday, even for a walk, because that’s what we’re designed to do.
• Making choices that serve your body rather than result in bloating, acne, &/or dehydration.

Self care looks like (self) discipline.

There’s nothing wrong with a (sweet) treat, glass of wine, or relaxing night on the couch but there is something wrong with glorifying (repetitive) lack of discipline as self care when little work has actually been done.
