self-care

Technology is allowing people to build communities that matter to them, that help keep them safe, and remove isolation. Technology is the new self-care!

Self-care is a phrase so enthusiastically tossed about as of late that in many ways it has lost all meaning. In the same way “wellness” has gone, the concept now seems vague and fuzzy, somehow ineffable.

Okay, so the world feels like it’s ending. I know it does because I have facebook and I read the news and I’m on this planet.

I had forgotten: absorption is the best kind of self-care.

Again and again I refuse to prioritize, refuse to let anything slide, at the expense of my physical and mental health.

When you are dealing with soaring temperatures and direct sunlight, your direct needs become very obvious and immediate: stay hydrated, protect your skin, and keep your internal temperature under control.

Learning to break down huge obstacles is an act of self-care that is sometimes easier said than done. Occasionally, you have to call in the help of others to help you step back and see the big picture, break it down, and allocate time and ideas to each task or activity.

Take up your space. Breathe and allow yourself to fill the spot you are sitting in rather than tensing your muscles and trying to hold your body tight.
