What is "self-care?"

This is a great read!

"True self -care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don't need to regularly escape from."

It's the new year. A time of resolutions, goals, and renewed connection to what is important. It is easy for self-care to quickly get lost in the busyness of daily life, becoming hollow and ineffective. Like a band-aid on a wound that actually needs stitches to heal. Instead, what if we tenderly took stock of areas of our heart, mind, soul, and/or body that are weary and gave ourselves what we need to heal and thrive? It is not always pretty, but doesn't it sound great to build a life you don't need to escape from?

Challenge: Let 2018 be a year of true self-care. What is one small step you can take to truly care for yourself in the new year?
