Self care is important. Take care of yourself and you will be happier, healthier, less stressed, and more functional overall. Self care can become an elaborate affair when you have a lot of money. You can travel, have a spa day, or even treat yourself to something nice. However, self care can also be as simple as taking time away from your computer screen, opening a window to let in some fresh air or taking a nap. You do not need to spend money to take care of yourself in ways that matter.
