Self-Care

It is important for women to practice self-care, people say

But self-care does not simply mean a spa day

Or a day off, or a day spent lazing around

Self-care can manifest in ways more profound

Because most women are not just physically depleted

It is their emotional energy that needs to be repleted

*

Self-care can mean maintaining a healthy distance

From toxic people, avoiding situations that provoke emotions intense

Setting healthy boundaries and letting no one cross the line

Self-care means prioritizing peace of mind..

*

For me self-care has meant walking away

From situations that would suck my energy if I were to stay

From letting go of an argument instead of trying to prove I am right

In choosing wisely the battles I should fight
