Taking care of ourselves often takes a backseat to the everyday demands of work, family, and community. We can feel torn between a drive to fulfill obligations and expectations and knowing that we need to slow down. Over time, that contradiction starts to wear on us, and we may feel exhausted, heavily stressed, or even burnt out.
Also, being aware of how we can cultivate healthier habits, helping us lead a more fulfilling life, and even its possible physical impact on us, we can take the necessary time to recharge and find gratification in creating consistency in moments and kindness.
