Are you always super busy and often feel overwhelmed? Do you roll your eyes when people talk about self-care because you simply don’t have time to do anything for yourself? You have kids or parents to take care of. You work full time and are running around just trying to figure out how to get to the end of the day. If you continue down that path, it is a sure fire way to burn out and potentially have a mental or nervous breakdown. Self-love and self-care is not only important, it is essential for our well-being. Business and life coach Susan Rosenthal shares some simple ways (that don’t involve meditation or saying “om” to elevate your mood and your spirits.)

So listen to this quick video and discover some simple ways to inspire, motivate, encourage yourself. Bring mindfulness into your life — know when it is time to take a break and put on your favorite song. Buy yourself some flowers or put on your favorite outfit.
