Summary of article

Now more than ever we need to be cognisant of how we treat ourselves; having a self-care plan in place is crucial to your physical and mental health. Ancient yoga practices enforce the importance of setting intention for each day and actively investing your energy in realising said intention. Through mindfulness and self-awareness we are given the opportunity to be present in the moment. But it is only once we have quieted our mind that we can really live in the moment and set intention. Traditional methods of self-care such as physical exercise, healthy eating and the setting of healthy boundaries are absolutely necessary in staying healthy but I urge you to take it beyond these activities and further explore the power of breathing.
