The one thing we can definitely control right now is ourselves and how we care for ourselves. When we take care of ourselves, we feel protected and return the brain’s sense of safety. Self care is more than just grooming - it helps us maintain a sense of balance and control. So when you’re feeling out of control, it’s important to focus on what you can do rather than what you can’t. It’s important to take care of the self, and the first place to start is by being mindful of where you are and what your needs are.
