What is Psychological self-care?
My Self Care Series… What is Psychological self-care? For me I think of psychological self-care as learning to love and accept the self, whilst nurturing one’s soul.

Why Self-care?
What is self-care and why is it important? Self-care is often misunderstood. Many people confuse self-care with self-improvement. Self-care is caring for oneself in the moment, right now and every day. Its looking after yourself emotionally, spiritually, physically, professionally and personally. Over the next little while I will be taking some time to blog about each element ofContinue reading “Why Self-care?”
