Self-Care Not Selfishness Part 1
from CrossOver Fitness Hosted by Timothy Donald, Jr.
When you fly on an aircraft there are some very valuable instructions given to everyone. If the plane loses cabin pressure, oxygen mask will come down and you are to place the mask over your mouth and nose first. Then, turn to help others that may be travailing with you. There is a very important reason for this. Without oxygen you quickly lose consciousness and you won't be of any use to anyone else, thus the need for self-care. The World Health Organization gives this definition of self-care as: The ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and to cope with illnesses and disabilities with or without the support of a healthcare provider. In its basic form self care is defined as activities we do on purpose to nourish our physical, mental and emotional health. In this episode we stress the need for self-care and give some simple tips on what could be done to help us improve in this critical area.
