The Self-Care System

How are you? 

In your lifetime you're probably going to be asked this a few thousand times. Or at least it seems like you are. The problem is, when a question becomes so common it tends to carry less meaning. We answer, "Fine" without thinking, an automatic response much like saying "Hello."

But are you fine? Really?

All too often we're busy. Stressed. There's just too much going on in the day and we're already short on time. We're not as fine as we like to pretend we are. If we're honest, we're probably not spending as much time on ourselves as we ought to. In short, we're neglecting self-care.
