Warning Signs Your Body is Giving You To Practice Better Self-Care

If we pay attention, our body tells us how it feels. Discover the warning signs your body is giving you to practice better self-care.  

Your Health Matters

All of us have daily obligations such as work, activities, kids, bills, friends, family, long hours, meal preparation, cleaning, and the list goes on!  

The close circle of my female family and friends all agrees that we're so busy, there's no time for self-care. We take time to care for others but often neglect ourselves. Would your circle agree?

Unquestionably, the diligent men in our lives are putting in long hours, have obligations, responsibilities, and busy lives too! It's important that they are encouraged as well, to practice better self-care.

Your body may be giving warning signs that you need to practice better self-care, here's what to watch for!
