Origin of Self Care
The definition of self-care is the practice of taking action to preserve or improve your health. (courtesy of google/bing search engine), and also according to Merriam-Webster, self-care means to care for yourself without the consultation of a health-care provider; sounds a bit extreme, which is where I ask the question to you.

If you are saying yes to these questions please I beg of you to learn more and start mobilizing self-care for the benefits of having a clear mind, body, and soul.

In February 2018, I became a Vegetarian swearing off meat except for eggs, milk, and cheese. Fast forward to today where I am back to eating meat. I was consuming packaged food that was processed.

Furthermore, we are all flawed, but taking the necessary steps will help any ailment; with daily exercise routines and regular check-ups from a doctor can help break the irritations that wreak havoc to our wellness. All this on top of devising a wellness plan is beneficial going forward.
