13 Self Care Quotes To Inspire Your Soul

Self care quotes are something I really love. I first discovered the concept of Self Care following my counselling sessions. I was having therapy to help overcome post traumatic stress which I was suffering from.

I created a private Pinterest board of quotes to motivate and encourage myself to take more time out for me.

Today I’m sharing 13 inspirational Self care quotes to inspire your soul and motivate you to care for yourself a little more.

What Is Self Care?

Self care is anything we choose to do that helps take care of our mental, emotional and physical health. Sometimes as a mother I can get so busy parenting and dealing with my health issues that I struggle to take time for self care.

Achieving a good level of self care can help to improve your mood, boost self esteem, reduce anxiety and positivity impact our relationships with others.
