You will often hear professionals and probably others in your life bang on about self care. I use to have the misconception that self-care was something I did when I felt myself going downhill – but what I’ve since learnt is that self-care is also a preventative and should be integrated into your life.
I kind of imagine the different aspects of my life, each as a glass of water and I need to keep an eye on when water is getting low in one and top it up.
As someone who provides peer support, self-care is important to you too.
Does anyone want to share what benefits they have seen by integrating self-care into their lives?
How do you do it?
(& don't worry if you can't answer this just now, we will be looking at this in more depth soon!)
