You may be a special needs parent, a parent to small kids, or a person taking care of an elderly or sick relative. You all have one thing in common: The importance of self-care cannot be overemphasized.
 
A popular quote goes, “You cannot pour from an empty cup.”
 
Self-care has been likened to flight attendants putting on oxygen masks 
before assisting passengers in an emergency situation. You need to take care of your needs first before you can help others.
 
Self-care is not a selfish act, but a recognition of our human limitations. Self-care is self-compassion.
By cultivating self-compassion, we become better carers to those we love.

Do you need a break?

With our new reality comes a whole range of challenges.

If this new normal isn’t getting to you, you are probably living a balanced life or you’re too busy to even feel it.
 
You can stop for a moment. Take a few minutes. And. Breathe.
 
Breathing consciously can drastically change your psychological state. Slowing down your breath can help you relax.
 
Try this simple breath control exercise. It consists of controlled inhaling and controlled exhaling while holding the breath in between.
 
Please note that when you inhale, inflate your stomach gently like a balloon. When you exhale, release the air slowly and empty your stomach.
 
You may need to lengthen or shorten the inhales, exhales and holds based on what is right for you. Listen to your body's messages,
 
The main purpose of this exercise is to learn to explore the power of your breath. We do this without causing harm to oneself.
 
When you are familiar with this simple technique, create your own practice.
 
This is great for busy people who, for now, only have a couple of minutes for relaxation.
 
I hope this helps you. Let me know how it goes.
 
May you be well always,
