‘Self care’ is definitely a 2016 buzz word.
Endless blog posts, podcasts and articles have been published on the importance of it.
But after I wrote a post about taking time out to invest in myself, the questions and comments I got showed me that actually, most people my age don’t know how to practice self care at all, and find the whole concept alien and dated.
Here are some ways you can spend some time on you this week, without the lavender oil and meditation.
Sometimes, just sometimes, it can feel as though everything is falling apart… and I mean everything.
All in one day I could argue with everyone I come into contact with, fail an important exam, hurt myself in several places, break something beyond repair, get 101 emails all bearing bad news, forget to do all the essential time-sensitive things I had to do, wear a hideous outfit, get rained on and have frizzy hair, lose something I can’t buy again *draws breath* and, not suprisingly, this makes me feel like I don’t have everything under control.
We can’t all be Beyoncé *sob* and we don’t really know how she spends her days, BUT there are no barriers to what we can achieve if we put our minds to it.
11. Be inspired by successful people
