Self-care doesn’t always feel easy, but prioritizing self-care is so important if you want to achieve a truly optimal state of health Many people struggle to intentionally dedicate time to their selfcare. Why? It’s often due to putting other people's health and wellness before our own, and this is especially true for women. For me, rest is going to be at the top of my priority list this year. I have a lot of obligations, responsibilities, and goals, and if I want to do all those things well I need to maintain a feeling of restoration and balance. Our culture of achievement has its upsides. It pushes us to do more and pursue our goals, but if you want to be at your best to accomplish those things, you have to be at the top of your game. And being at the top of your game requires the best, most cared-of version of yourself. When you take care of yourself, you’re better able to deal with stress. You don’t have to fight through fatigue or brain fog while working towards your goals. Self-care looks different for everybody, but for me it includes doing activities I enjoy (like pickleball and reading) and getting lots of sleep. For you, self-care activities could include balanced hormones and hormone therapy. It may also mean eating well and getting outside. You can also include what you love to do, whether that’s yoga, a community activity, or somewhere else you feel your best. I hope you’ll go into each week this year remembering to put yourself first. &amp;nbsp; Connect with Dr. Cernaianu https://www.herabeautyandwellness.com/&amp;nbsp; https://www.instagram.com/herabeautyandwellness/&amp;nbsp; https://www.facebook.com/people/Hera-Healthcare-Mirela-Cernaianu-MD/100063462643162/ H.O.W.
