Always take time for self-care. Only with your best self will you move forward.

Everything you do in life comes down to passion, determination, and strength. All three of these traits can only achieve their potential if you are taking the absolute best care of yourself. Everything from your morning health regimen to your nightly mental reset before bed must be built around you optimizing your best care routine. Take time each day to check in with yourself on certain things that may affect your daily life.

Today #ERICALYNNFAM we look at self-care and how it relates to your greater purpose. I have put together some wonderful tips to ensure you not only love yourself but also guide yourself closer to achieving your goals. Self-care is often overlooked due to stress and taking on more than we can handle. You must always keep up a good self-care routine to keep yourself centered and ready for life challenges.
