Now how does this work? I thought Self Care was all about taking care of yourself. Spending time with yourself and connecting with your own physical, mental and emotional state. This is true, however quality time with those you love feeds your soul. It helps build stronger relationships.

I don’t know about you, but I’m always wanting to strengthen relationships with the people I’m blessed to have in my life. At least the people who lift me up and love me for who I am. You know the ones who speak positively to you and accept your kind of crazy.

I’m sure you have some family or friends in your life like that right? Well I would hope so. If not then you deserve to find some, because you are worthy of acceptance and love. Find a community online or a club/group locally that you can join that feeds your soul with positive words.

What is Considered Quality Time?

Basically it’s time spent in giving another person one’s undivided attention in order to strengthen a relationship. 

This can be difficult for parents sometimes, because lives are so busy with work, extracurricular activities, house work, and the list goes on and on. That said it’s very important to set aside the time to spend with your kids. The same can be said for time with a husband or wife (significant other). Time when devices are put away. When it’s just you and them.

Some Ideas For Quality Time With Family
