Self Care Action Plan
… points out that self-esteem is built by expressing love towards others and by having love expressed to oneself. Indeed, this is essentially a Christian idea. Christ said, “Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these” (Mark 12:30-31). What He meant was that people … one is neglecting the body, mind, heart and soul that God has given one. Thus, it is important even from a biblical or Christian point of view to care for oneself using an action plan. Support for this action plan can therefore be seen to come directly ……

As both the popularity of groups like……
