Life gets busy with work, home, and other events.

As a result, we allow ourselves to sink to the bottom of our priority list by skipping meals, stop exercising, and to isolate ourselves from family and friends.

All the while, making excuses not to create time for Self-Care.

Self-care is not an indulgence, but more of a necessity.

Not caring for yourself can negatively affect your functioning in life, which can create stress, loss of focus, and a decrease in the ability to perform your usually polished skill sets.
