Self Care Series 1
Most of us know how to maintain our vehicle. We know when the vehicle needs gas. We know when to change the oil. We know when to put air in the tires. We know when the engine needs attention. We know these things because a light on the dashboard comes on in most cases. In this way, when it comes to caring for our vehicle, everything is cut and dry.
When we think of caring for our bodies, we know that it needs nourishment in the form of food and water. We know it needs to move in the form of exercise. We know it needs to be kept clean in the form of good hygiene. However, self care can be a little more tricky because as we receive signals that our body needs attention in some fashion, our mind contain thoughts, which lead to feelings. These feelings send us signals. For instance, when we feel hungry, we may just be feeling bored and thus, we feel hungry even though our body doesnโt actually need food at that time. We all know what can happen to our waistline when we eat mindlessly. In the next installment of this three part series, Cassandra tells us how we can use our own dashboard as an indicator for self care.
