Celebrating International Women's Month through SELF LOVE and SELF CARE
March is International Women's Month, and this year we are celebrating the global theme of women's empowerment through SELF LOVE and SELF CARE
What is SELF LOVE and why is it important?
It is unconditionally accepting yourself for who you are and putting your spiritual, physical, emotional and mental well-being first. Self-love motivates you to make healthy choices in life, and when you hold yourself in high esteem, you're more likely to make choices that nurture your well-being and serve you well. You see and believe yourself as WORTHY!
So what is SELF CARE then?
,
This is actually taking the time to do the things that nurture your well-being and bring you joy and vitality. Self care doesn't only mean making time to pamper yourself now and then, it means taking care of the things that matter on a daily basis so that your spiritual, physical, emotional and mental needs are met. It is about ACTIVELY putting yourself first and nurturing your own needs, so that you are in a stronger position to support others. This ensures that you not only survive life's daily stresses and challenges but THRIVE!

Practice positive daily affirmations like "Today is a good day", "I am blessed and well able"
If you are frequently having dark thoughts, of self-harm or think you may be depressed, contact organisations like The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) for help.
Women can only #BreakTheChain of gender bias, stereotypes and discrimination by first EMPOWERING and AFFIRMING themselves.
