Every Day

We Need To Do This

Rest Refresh Restart

“Respect your body

when it’s asking for a break.

Respect your mind

when it’s seeking rest.

Honour yourself

when you need a moment for yourself”

We live in such a fast-paced and busy world,

that we forget,

or do not even think about,

stopping and resting.

We are just as important as those we care for,

so we should give ourselves that precious time

to basically ‘look after ourselves’.

Our bodies and minds

are not machines

and need rest.

This is important to remember!

When we give ourselves time

to rest, refresh and rejuvenate,

we are respecting ourselves,

our bodies and our minds.

It is important

to put “self-care” at the top of the list

because we want to have

healthy bodies and healthy minds.

Taking five or ten minutes

every day

for ourselves

is not selfish but necessary.

We want

to be healthy and happy.

We ‘deserve’

to be healthy and happy.

When you are tired,

listen to your body and mind

and stop for that cup of tea,

and make sure you have a proper lunch.

We say it to others

so we should

‘listen to our own words’.

Respect.

Honour.

Care for yourself

— every single day.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
