These days, we have become a bit more aware of the importance of taking care of ourselves. And during the COVID-19 pandemic, when stress and anxiety levels were especially high, there was a greater appreciation of one’s mental health, and the need to protect it.

Unfortunately, and to a considerable degree, we still do not seem to consider self-care holistically. Although we might be mindful of our mental health, are we being as proactive about our emotional, spiritual and physical health?

Having said this, today’s quote reminds us that we have just one body and that we are on this Earth for a finite amount of time. More importantly, we ought to be good stewards of our body, in order to fulfil whatever mission we have here on Earth in this lifetime. To do otherwise may be seen as a disregard of our duty to ourselves and to the World.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• To what degree do I engage in self-care?
• Is my self-care only limited to my mental health?
• To what degree am I vigilant about protecting my emotional, spiritual and physical health?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!!
