Let's be honest, our world is chaotic and often we run from one thing to the next. When do we actually slow down, breathe and soak in the wonder of our existence? For a long time, I thought that taking care of myself was selfish. That couldn't have been farther fro the truth. In fact, the kinder and compassionate I am to myself, it creates a new wellspring of compassion and love for others too.

So for those of you struggling to come up with self-care ideas, I've composed a list of my own ideas and ideas I've gotten from others.
I hope these help jump-start some self-love and time to be kind and nurturing to yourself:)
