Introduction to Whole-Self Care
The primary purpose of Self-Care is to keep yourself healthy on all levels. Taking care of yourself is necessary in order to take care of others!
I always relate to the metaphor of putting your own oxygen mask on first before helping others. It is such a powerful way to understand why Self-Care is important. If you constantly give and give to others with no downtime for yourself, like a candle you will eventually burn out. This can occur as physical illness, mood swings, extreme fatigue, anxiety, depression, etc.
