But if you want to be good to the people around you, you must first be good to yourself.
Anxiety and depression can be debilitating at times. It can drain us completely of energy, make us feel bad about ourselves, and most importantly it can drive us to new heights of insane. Trust me I’ve been there and find myself traveling to this dark and lonely place more times than I’d like to admit.
Self-care, it’s a very important and vital part of our health, yet many of us neglect it. There are many reasons as to why, but I’m here to tell you it’s time to stop neglecting it. Engaging in self- care has many positive health benefits. Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well.
Stretching, it’s one of those things some people faithfully engage in and some don’t.
