Every Sunday, we are looking at simple acts of self care that allow you to take some time for you. No matter how small or insignificant, there are so many little things that you can do that will help you to feel like you have taken back a small amount of control over your body and your life.

We covered the topic of basic self-care a little while back. No matter what is going on in your life, self care is something that we should all be practising, but when you find yourself in a situation that has such a huge impact on your mental health, practicing even the most simple of exercise's can be lifechanging.

The reality is, self-care is the single most important thing you can do not just for yourself, but for the people around you. To be what they need, you need to be in the right place not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually and mentally. The thing is, it can be hard during daily life to find that time, so how on earth do you do it when you are trying to navigate the ups and downs of an abusive relationship?
