"If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete." - Jack Kornfield

I am very big on mental health so, taking the time you need to rejuvenate is just as important. Working a certain amount x hrs can be tiring and depending on what you do for work, your body can be strained too. Going to the spa will help decompress and release all the tension built up!

For me, what really got me prioritizing was, since having to witness my family member battle cancer. She had always been the type that was selfless and putting others needs before hers and when it came down to her having to do all these therapy's and treatments near her ending. With the opportunity to receive treatment down South and of course, being able to immerse in the beautiful nature and relax at the same time - The result was, she came back looking a lot healthier! Unfortunately with due time her illness took over and she passed. This is what really broaden my perspective on self-care.

People have different ways of spending their money and time, indulging in other quick fix, like for an ex. desserts, partying and drinking, movies, shopping etc.. the list goes on but, when it comes to treating for a spa most will think it's too expensive or a treat once it a while. If anything, it should be a lifestyle. Another example, fitness. It's not for everyone and it takes the right mindset to get yourself active and consistently sticking to a routine. Then people will start hesitating to get active when they aren't satisfied with themselves or to find a solution when a problem arise, sometimes when it's too late to start. Self neglect is not worth the regret!

Remember YOU deserve it! Whether it's going to a spa locally, or when you're travelling, self care is the best investment.

There's Day Spas, Foot massage, Wellness Retreats and Yoga and Meditation Retreats, many for you to experience.

Here are some lists of destination retreats to indulge in:

6 Day Yoga, Meditation, and Nature Retreat in Taghazout

4 Day Detox Retreat at Casas Da Lapa in the Natural Park of Serra da Estrela

What stops a lot of people from treating themselves is due to fact of the costs and not knowing where. With the right resources, you can find many well known retreats that are participated by many people from all over the world. Even if you can't get away, local ones are also an option.

On a daily basis - we're always so caught up with the fast pace life. Often times, we forget to take a moment and do some inner work and breathwork that can induce a relaxed state. By doing this, it will contribute to getting clarity and center back your mental state so that whatever your worries are, you have released them and not let it affect you.
