ThePeopleAlchemist Edit: self-care is an act of survival and self-love because it all starts with you

Today for me was a self-care day because, like Audre Lorde said, 'I have come to believe that caring for myself is not self-indulgent. On the contrary, caring for myself is an act of survival". So that's exactly what I did. I looked after myself - slept, read, ate, pampered myself. The art of il dolce far niente and I did it with absolutely no guilt whatsoever. A month ago, I would have felt I had wasted a day ( I should have done something, I should have been writing, blah blah blah...), but after the 30 Days To A More Powerful Self-Image from Write For Your Life - The Home Seminar For Writers I know that downtime is as essential and serves to recharge and contributes to the creative juices. What about you: when was the last time you just took a day to yourself for yourself? And to finish, a poem by Hasmukh Mehta:

Take care of you self and consider it as treasure in shelf as no one else is going to worry and carry the burden

let people term you selfish and finish it by saying such thing you are committed to call your self as well being

not all people shall like and strike with unkind gesture but it is you who is responsible for the future

whole world is like this except the trees who always give with kind nature and forgive

but it hardly matters before they shatter the world of your dreams and block the light and beam
