Most of us have an idea of what "Self Care" means.   It might bring up images of getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, going to the gym or maybe even going for a massage.   All of these things are important but sometimes even the most basic self-care needs can fall to the bottom of our priorities which may call for a Radical shift in the way we approach self-care.
