Self-care is the means by which you show up as your best self in the world. It is a powerful tool that not only nourishes you, but also those around you. It is empowering!
When it comes to women, we have to get our life together first. Put on your own oxygen mask first. Figure out who you are. And then take care of everyone around you.
Taking time out to care for yourself can remind you and others that you and your needs are important, too. Feeling your best both physically and emotionally makes you more resilient and able to manage life’s daily stress in a positive way
You need to start with yourself! Join this fun and interactive session will explore the 4 pillars of self care and wellbeing:
- Physical health
- Emotional health
- Cognitive health
- Social health
