Self Care

When it comes to taking care of others, we are all very careful, cautious and fearful. Sadly, the same isn't true when it comes to self-care. More so for 'mothers' who put themselves at the fag end of the to-do lists, the place where they might not reach for months together.

Self care in terms of nutrition, health, leisure activity, physical exercise and talking to one's self should be a conscious choice. Unfortunately, this is regarding as a vice and not a virtue as per the Indian upbringing, where everything else should be given priority over and above this. Maybe, the moral science lectures need a tweaking and our parents need to re-wire themselves, as what the kids see at home is what they learn.
