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
