Do you take care of yourself?

This is the question my parents asked me several weeks ago and made me think about it.

It seems a simple yes or no question, but what does it mean to take care of yourself?

Does it mean to eat healthy foods, do sport, have enough night sleep, read books, invest on your self-development, take care of your beauty, spend money on having new experiences, go to a trip and etc.?

I don’t know the correct answer, but I guess the noted tasks are must-haves and unfortunately I don’t care about all of them. Especially in recent months, I didn’t give enough attention to myself, I had bad nutrition, gave up doing sport and was highly sleep deprived.

It’s about two weeks that I have decided to do simple tasks to take care of my physical and mental health and continue doing them as long as they become daily inevitable habits. Maybe after a while, I can give a positive answer to that question and answer yes, I do take care of myself.
