What does self-care mean to you?
We asked the AdvancedBreastCancer.net community what "self-care" means to them. Here is what a few of you had to say:
To me, self-care means...
--"Filling your cup first before you can serve others." - Maxine D.
--"Time to soothe my mental and physical health. Check-in time for my mind and body." - Mallory R.
--"Taking a break."- lynzerz
The ideas of self-care and community can take on many different forms. We'd love to hear what self-care means to you!
Self care to me me means time quiet alone time.
taking time for yourself can be the best form of self-care! Do you have any particular activities you enjoy during your alone time (reading, meditating, journaling, etc)? Best, Allison (Team Member)
