As we get ready to begin our week lets remind ourselves about the importance of self care; an area that often gets missed. Today we live in a society that is so fast paced, so hectic and so future oriented that it can be difficult to take the time and nurture ourselves.

Where do we get these ideas that self-care is in fact self-indulgent rather than an act of self-respect? Self-care is about making a conscious choice to replenish and show gratitude to yourself. By nurturing our own self, this allows us to show this same kindness to others.

Here are some great Ted Talks all about self-care and self-love. Give yourself permission to take the time and watch these, nurture your mind, body and soul so that you can be a better parent, child, partner and self-lover!
