You are worthy of all the self-care you need.

Word of the Week: Worthy

Check your heart and your mood. Know that you are valued.

For many of us, we live our lives thinking we can only get a treat or reward if we earn it for a goal we achieve or something good we do. That's why some of us push ourselves beyond our limits to meet a deadline, work excessively late or prioritize other people or other things over ourselves. All this time, our own mental health and well-being have needed our attention, too.

Enter the word "worthy." As a young woman, I inherited the belief that I had to prove my worth, not just to others but to myself over and over again. I invite you to join me in being kinder to yourself by taking your time, stopping when you need to rest and nourishing your mind, body and soul with a rejuvenating daily self-care routine.

Here's a mantra to get started: "I am worthy."

You are worthy of:...

• A 10-minute break

• A 30-minute workout

• A day of self-care

• A weekend of rest

• However long it takes to take care of you
