[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 757316, member: 4152"] I think of self care mostly as attending to our needs. Nobody else is going to do this for us. And especially if we suffer from additional pressures (and all of us here do) self care becomes critical. Many women tend to put their personal needs last. Then they have extra burdens ..,even folks taking advantage of them...and what do you know...poof...their own needs are not addressed. I suspect for many women going to the hair or nail salon might go into the category of self care. (Although it could be argued that is just regular care) . But it is relaxing “me” time. I too love having lunch or coffee out with a friend. I love reading or listening to a good book. watching a good movie. Treating myself to little things that at first glance might seem trivial...but I know I would love it..so I’ll “go for it” and splurge here and there. and I love what someone else mentioned...taking the time to take care of ourselves physically and mentally. Awareness of what we are eating. Is it mostly healthy? Getting in some exercise etc. Nit being critical...but loving and caring for ourselves. [/QUOTE]
