I am an introverted person and I tend to find energy in being alone with quiet time to reflect. <br /><br />I have two children (4 and 1) and am a SAHM and full time student. I struggle with self-care but I think for me it is in doing things like Yoga (which does amazing things for me both mentally and physically) and in eating healthy. I never believed diet had so much effect on me until recently. I also love to read and research. If I can drift away into a book or lose myself in some research it is rejuvenating to me.N~https://www.blogger.com/profile/11133976112602515274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224754262730423632.post-73332520575990126562012-05-12T20:59:21.689-06:002012-05-12T20:59:21.689-06:00For me self-care means that I stand behind what I ...For me self-care means that I stand behind what I need in order to express my deepest gifts into the world.

It is about eating whole foods that have a healing effect on the body. It is about listening to our body and moving it in kind and gentle ways. It is about taking time to feed the mind but also giving it time to rest. It is about doing things in life that make us feel good about ourselves.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092143745324462164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224754262730423632.post-6443145506963771482012-05-12T14:58:12.819-06:002012-05-12T14:58:12.819-06:00Self care to me means survival!
