Brain, body & soul : Being kind to yourself
Artemis
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
― audre lorde To make the world a better place we start with ourselves, we are the root of our every journey - we are precious and resilient, we deserve care and compassion and respect. When we offer ourselves as much, we make room to do so for others, and so much more. If you need support, remember that Edinburgh Crisis Centre is one of many brilliant services that are there for us. We also found this Let's Queer Things Up post on mental health crisis very helpful.
