If you’ve been here to the blog before, you are aware that I devote every Friday to making sure you are taking time out of your busy schedule to do a little something for yourself; a little something to brighten your own day. There are times where the care you should give to yourself is more than a trip to the spa, or treating yourself to a new book. When your mental or physical health needs attention, it truly is important to take the appropriate amount of time to rest and recuperate.

Often we feel the pressures of life, work, family, and other commitments and allow those to take priority, thinking ‘Oh I can handle it’ or ‘I don’t feel that bad, I can push through it and rest later’. Sometimes waiting until ‘later’ can make the difference between being a little ill or having a major breakdown.

We have to keep Picking Our Afros because it’s always important keep our spirits uplifted and doing those little things for ourselves make us smile. It’s ultimately important to keep our health in as best shape as we have control over. Take your time and take care of you!
