Self Care

Show Yourself Some Love STORY BY RACHEL MADISON Self-care is having a moment. It has grown in popularity in recent years, but when the pandemic hit in 2020, it became that much more popular. While dealing with the stress of a global pandemic, working from home or not working at all, homeschooling children and trying to balance it all, self-care become even more critical. And self-care isn’t just about getting a massage or a manicure—it’s about mental well-being, too. Check out what some of our Best of Liberty Hill winners for 2021 do to show themselves a little self-care. Voting for the 2022 Best of Liberty Hill opens in late February, and winners will be announced in the May edition of Liberty Hill Living.

Practicing yoga might seem like a given for a yoga instructor, but for Holly Johnson, it is her greatest and most consistent form of self-care. “I can make it as easy or challenging as I’d like; it always fits my needs,” she said. Johnson said she also knows that sometimes self-care needs to be quick, easy and accessible, so she does the simplest act there is -- she just breathes. “Simple, I know, but so effective,” she said. “Most Americans are taking shallow or ineffective breaths. It’s one of my very favorite things to teach people to do correctly. I use a deep breath, or five, to calm myself, center, focus, maybe speak some life or truth into a moment, and enjoy all of the physical benefits that come along with a healthy breath.” Johnson said as cliché as it sounds, self-care is extremely important because no one can successfully pour from an empty cup. “To invest in the things that are important to us, we have to be investing in ourselves,” she said.
