“If your compassion does not include yourself it is incomplete.” Jack Kornfield
Being caught up in negative self talk and limiting beliefs holds us back from living our full potential, and keeps us from living authentically with peace and joy. These are the best self-care inspirational quotes to inspire and motivate you during your practice and support you in keeping self-care a priority in your daily life.
How to use these quotes:
• Read at least one quote every day. A good time is during your morning or evening routine.

• Type them up, add a favorite graphic or design and print to use as inspirational wall art.
• Make a practice of sending inspirational quotes to your children as a mood booster for them.
