Family Life Coaching
“You can’t pour from an empty cup.”
The term self-care is used a lot these days, but what does it really mean?
We take a look at what self-care means in practice and consider the benefits to your health – both mental and physical.
What is self-care?
While its popularity in common parlance might be recent, self-care is not a new concept. Nor is it complex, lofty or exclusive. Self-care is just what it sounds like: taking care of yourself. Self-care is the practice of consciously doing things that preserve or improve your mental or physical health. These days, when people talk about self-care they are generally talking about the conscious and deliberate choice to do something that looks after you and your wellbeing. This covers the mental and the physical, and a regime of self-care should improve the way you feel in body and mind.
