"We must make art out of what happens to us."

"Self-Care is not continuing to educate and train ourselves to withstand more stress in order to take on more stress."

"Self-Care is not putting ourselves through frequent recurring cycles of overwork followed by crashing to recover."

"Self-Care is Tuning in: recognizing, earlier and earlier, the subtle physical signs of potential difficulties. Caring people become good at reading other people's body language: clenched jaw, stooped shoulders, and sad eyes. Self-care means tuning into ourselves and learning how to read our own body language."
