Hey there. You're listening to Everyday Happiness with Katie Jefcoat. But today I'm taking over. I'm Angela Williamson. And Katie asked me this question, how does self care contribute to your happiness?
We should learn a lot about self care and the importance of it, especially with everything that we've been through the last few years. Self care is important and it's not wrong. So what things have I learned to do that helped me move forward to continue with happiness?
In an earlier episode, I talked about my lowest point and where I had to chase my happiness. But you know why I had to chase my happiness? It wasn't just the things that were happening around me, but because I lost the importance of self care.
With all of my happiness journey and the things that I've been sharing with you, I learned the importance of self care. So what do I do?
I actually have a group of friends I call my Zumba buddies, and I do Zumba. Now, I do actually stay in the back, and people think that's so funny that I'm always in the back, because most of my legacy has been spent talking about Rosa Parks and books.
But there's a reason why. It took me a little while to get coordinated to do Zumba. But it really helped. And it wasn't just the exercise. I mean, exercise is important, but it's the relationship that I've been able to form with the most beautiful women and some men in that group.
And so I want to encourage all of you to do something that is in the realm of self care. It may not be Zumba. It may be walking, which I also do. I do that with my husband, and we did that during the pandemic. And there's nothing to strengthen a relationship than to be on a self care journey with the people that you love.
So it is okay. And if you've forgotten a little bit about self care over the last few months and that happens, go back to it and let Katie know what your self care routine is, because we always want to hear from you.
I can't believe this week has gone by so fast. Thanks so much for listening all week, but catch another episode of Everyday Happiness tomorrow, because I know something wonderful will be there for you. Take care.
