The implication of this is that man cannot take care of the universe if man does not take care of himself first because as the latin people will say, 'Nemo dat quod non habent'----- you cannot give what you do not have. If man is not healthy, how can he get strength to perform his function of the Caretaker of things in the world?
The importance of the care for the self therefore, becomes very primary to reexamine for man in pursuit of wealth has forgotten that it is one who is alive and healthy that has power to take pursue wealth. Man, take care of yourself!
Nevertheless, poets from the globe have reflected about CARE FOR THE SELF and what it means to take care of yourself. To be healthy is to be wealthy. Read and learn how to care for yourself. Shalom!

Care For Self
Glow like radiance,
Illuminate your inner dark,
Scatter your fragrance,
Let everyone enjoy your presence,
Look not around to be happy.
Self love,
Self respect,
Self determination,
Self acceptance and appreciation,
You are the light you are searching for.
Don't be too available to everyone,
Some don't deserve even your smile,
Walk ahead and high up your head,
Never regret those who stayed back,
They didn't believe in what you believed in.
Treat yourself like a royal gem,
Let your step make them jealous,
Heal your brokenness,
You are your own peace,
Keep calm and make yourself feel adored by you.

I don’t hate to be around people
I am just liking the accompany of my all
Valuing myself makes me vulnerable
adversities on my own I, was capable
Understanding myself makes me a better person
It helped me to make rightful decision
Embracing my failures and flaws
It radiates my inner glow
Nourishing my inner self
It blooms up to it’s extreme depth
Valuing my real persona
Comes out my sweet aroma
Self love to it’s profoundness degree
It will free you to grieves and fill moments of glee
Loving myself to it’s fullest extent
Vanished my fears of endless torment

I buying cars always for mself
It makes me so happy and powerfull
To be overcomed and so happy
It means that I love many cars
I was wonder where is my path
Of the soul and where is place
To be happy many times and
Share happiness with rest of the people
I make self every day so proud
I would like to be happy more and more
I love to buy many cars, expensive
It makes me so proud and overcomed
I love to buy cars for self
It is kust a option of hobby activity
I will be successfull bussiness man
And make history in car's selection
I make every day just money
Big portions, I love cars and metal
That is my blood full of loving
Which will be splittee when I die!

Title: SUCCESS MUST BE
We must also see to our needs
In all situations weather rain or shine hot or cold sweet or bitter
We must not forget to make ourselves proud
We may pass through the furnace of a blazing fire
We may be toasted like a bread in a frying pan
Life may glare it's horrifying ugly teeth at us
Yet, we must persevere
We must not wither like leafs by the storm
We must yearn to achieve greater heights
Victory must give us a handshake for a meritorious fight
We are born to conquer and win no matter the circumstances
Success must be our story
So l will hoist the flag of victory till it reaches the actualization of a beautiful dawn in my life
6. Jesse Mathias
It's Just Me
It wouldn't be selfish to praise myself
And as much as I care for you
I care for myself
Not just in words but in actions
I know you love me
But truth is, no one can love me like myself
And so I give to myself maximum attention
Cos I'm a wonderful creation
I am beautiful beyond imagination
For this I need no man's validation
If you need more explanation
Just look at me and see a vivid description
I am strong and bold
More expensive than gold
And infact, the best of me is yet to unfold
So you see, you just know me based on what you were told
I care so much for myself
This is not being selfish
It will only be childish
If in the process of caring for you I treat myself like a spoilt fish

Title: Awareness; leads to
Wellness
Being in control of one's mental health,
begins by awakening; to awareness.
Addressing that state of unrest,
transforms stress; into wellness.
Healing anxiety with calmness,
springs back; a balance into life.
Curtailing anger with mindfulness,
puts at peace, the unwanted strife.
Aligning one's energies to the positive,
restores hope; keeping negativism at bay.
Curbing that state of depression,
averts life; from going astray.

Title : Self attention by Leo 'D' great ( #Razzy_penz)
My mind thinks deep
Thinking life should go down the six feet
I guess it is time to sleep
Exhausting all my strength to breath.
Hollow sounds are being made
It is time to listen to myself
Facing the body, before it Gets fade
And not willing to be deaf
Have grown to love the me, I am
The humanly make of substance
Cant Withstand further harm
I could see the glow with a glance
Over time, my flesh seeks self attention
Not only to the physical, but to the views of nature
Attention to focus on my notions
Becoming a one true outstanding creature.!!

Title: Teach Me To Cuddle Myself
As a kangaroo straps her joey,
Teach me to cuddle myself.
My-self is another me on the inside
Lurking & writhing in the mouth of rejection,
Rejection from his own.
The earth around me is sour if tasted
& 'twas it that told me that I'm no-thing.
Green trees litters it but I'm only a dry one.
Anytime I gaze at myself,
My nothing/ness is all I see.
I live in that part of the global ball
Where milks are bitter, & meat kills
Light is absent and darkness brightens.
How do I see myself?
How do I cuddle myself?
Depression is moulding me a mask
But hope is hovering like a circling bird.
Let light lick my body so badly
& teach me to cuddle myself.

Take care of yourself
shiny, the use is more glitter.
Careless that diamond is
loses brightness.
Life is more precious than
diamonds,
To keep yourself healthy,
Need care, lots of yourself.
Neglect of life, causes disease
Wellness will bring happiness
Sickness will give you
always pain and unrest.
Think, your body
like a machine,
You are the right way use it,
Always take necessary care.
Remember, this life
The gift of only the Creator
Stay in the holy heart,
Take care of yourself.
11. Ajibola David Gem
Care for the self
I summon the great
Those who lived their lives to bake
A splendid time in awful spite
Nothing dearer, making the change matters
I also take this mantle
Dive into the corrupt youth
Raising a hope for change
He that hear him hear
Though I put it all on me
Pitifully not all takes the lead
Just like tares in wheat
Their mind embodied to miss
Not about I cares
But if only they wishes to mend

"Value and Worth"
The life we live was full of conflict,
A lot of factors that cause us stress,
Out of desperation and problems we held,
We forget to enjoy ourselves and give it a rest.
Emotional, physical, and financial issues,
Our life's challenges we face every day and carries,
We lost control sometimes that we thought of surrendering,
Without even considering that life ahead has a silver lining.
We have to learn to balance our bodies, minds to reach a goal,
Boost such confidence and see our worth,
We have to accept defeat and give ourselves some focus,
Priorities above all our well-being and relax our soul.
Circumstances in life were part of our existence,
It always comes along but never stays long,
If we practice self-care in all our difficult dealings,
We give ourselves a chance to a healthy and stress-free living.
We have to love ourselves and never abandon our worth,
We have to learn to acknowledge that our well-being is more important,
Value your health, cherish your beautiful life,
Even if it's giving you a fuss sometimes.

If I want happiness, society tells me to be my own
If I want love, society tells me to be my own
If I want peace of mind, society tells me to be my own
If I want me, society still tells me to be my own
We all want to find a purpose
Because I know every life matters
Your life and mine has a purpose
And being human matters
If I want self-esteem, society says "Be your own"
If I want success, society says "Be your own"
If I want beauty, society says "Be your own"
If I want me, society whispers "You are on your own"
Don't each of us want to wear our best self?
I just don't know how to do it myself
Maybe I need more than help
From someone who owns self
Are you, your own?
Then you should be glad you own
The image you own
And improve that whom you own

TITLE:YOU'RE A PRODUCT OF YOUR ACTIONS.
Today is the root of tomorrow
And tomorrow is the shoot of today
What you've not acquired today,
You can't borrow tomorrow
Because your tomorrow is solely dependent on today
Crawl,walk and run all that give you pleasure
But make sure they fill your soul brimful with treasures
For tomorrow only stands firm if laid on mindful measures
Make new supportive friends
As this helps you indulge in new trends
And find peace of mind in the new trails
Choose diet according to value and not the taste
Because it might harm your health if chosen with haste
Exercise and train
It will freshen your brain
Do what can make God smile
Because it will ultimately move you a mile
And never forget,
You're a product of your actions
You're a fruit of your decisions

Love Of Life nourishes Care for the self
Love of life is the care of the self.
Both are complimentary.
Care for the self nourishes love of life,
Never defines selfish or ungenerous .
Care for the self doesn't mean selfish nature,
but spiritual care.
Attending a religious service,
Spending time in nature,
Meditating ,
Incorporating regular acts of kindness ,
Keeping a gratitude journal.
Care for the self refers emotional self care,
Self talk and weekly bubble baths,
Saying *no* to things that cause unnecessary stress,
Giving permission to take a
pause
Setting up a weekly coffee date with a friend.
Care for the self is physical self care,
Prioriting sleep,
Adopting an exercise routine that sticks with,
Choosing healthy and nourishing food.
Care for the self is anything that you do for yourself ,
that feels nourishing your pleasure and pacification
that leads to an amicable and amiable life.

Care for yourself
that sounded like a threat
I've looked like a wrecth
How about a change of dress
I'll care for myself
The compliments I now receive
Looks like I'm being deceived
But since I Perceived
What self care could make me achieve
I'll care for myself
Like dung on plant
Like rain on plants
And like sun on plants
I grew brighter and better
When I cared for myself
Mind and soul in check I read
Body and health in check I breath
That ones little wretch
Once under a threat
Now cares for herself
17. Sabinah Adewole
I am human as long as you remember that
I make mistakes but I learn from my mistakes
I am here to learn from others as no
man is an island
However things can spiral out of control
I care for my self
I have learnt to give to others as much as you receive from others
However not every one can reciprocate the love I give from my heart
So I have learnt to care from my heart but also
I care for thy self
I am here on a journey following our dreams
Following our hearts desire
Trying to be a better person than who I used to be
Giving it hundred 100%but it does not matter whatever happens
I care for thy self
What i wish is that humans care for each other
And treat each other a like with much respect
Loving from the heart and not expecting a reward
As with love transcends all inequalities
I love my neighbour as myself
I care for my self

My self is complex with many a side
A fervent student, once passionate bride
I'm a mature woman with a child's heart inside..
I need to embrace..yes to throw my arms wide
To love me and ensure that no need is denied.
For by loving and caring for my own self first
I can heal and help others without fatigued thirst..
So make me attentive, and make me aware
Of the need for self nurture
And the joy of self care.

BEAUTIFUL ME
Today, I learned to love myself without the love of others
I chose to be the most beautiful version as I can be
I learned to be happy without the help of people around me
Happiness is my choice and waking up with a better determination.
I am enough. I now know my worth
The power of glowing up is realizing not to beg for anything to anyone
I know the difference between what I am getting and what I deserve
I love myself. I am fragile like a glass of wine.
I'm a woman who love myself dearly
I can now put my crown on my head and wear it
I am me. I can be what I wanted to be
I can be the reason of my own euphoria.

I Am
I am—yet what I am none cares or knows;
My friends forsake me like a memory lost:
I am the self-consumer of my woes—
They rise and vanish in oblivious host,
Like shadows in love’s frenzied stifled throes
And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed
Into the nothingness of scorn and noise,
Into the living sea of waking dreams,
Where there is neither sense of life or joys,
But the vast shipwreck of my life’s esteems;
Even the dearest that I loved the best
Are strange—nay, rather, stranger than the rest.
I long for scenes where man hath never trod
A place where woman never smiled or wept
There to abide with my Creator, God,
And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept,
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie
The grass below—above the vaulted sky.
I feel I am — I only know I am,
And plod upon the earth, as dull and void:

️Care for yourself is giving love to yourself ,if you love yourself ,others will learn to love you ,as you love yourself.
Care for yourself is giving yourself respect ,if you give respect to yourself others will learned to respect you as you respect yourself.

"Learn to love yourself"
Don't forget dear
Without hearing any silly word
You're a doomed person
Just make wrong perception at each step
Your heart may break
You may shatter
You may lose hope for life
You want to destroy life
Take some moments amidst nature
Close the eyes to feel innerself
It's you and only you
The miraculous art of God on earth
Try to feel this earth
Your birth is your pride
Because of that you can see
The lovely and lively erath
Learn to love yourself
That will provide the peace
That will help to weave dream
That will help to love others

Like Angel Maryam is her darkness,

Her smile is like sun of winters.
With her eyes, I start gulping
Who even know if my heart can stop jumping?
She even turns me to a talking dumb,
As I spend my money Stingily.
Will Maryam not abuse me,
Running with train and standing in rain,
Is this really love?
Is this not madness?
Am not afraid to fall,but floor!
Which is filled with acidic rings,
That's why I March the stupid insect,

In the twinkling of an eye
At the bottom of your body
Which revolves around
In the vortex of the vortex
In your own room next door
Wheel after axle
In the letter after the wheel

To the beat of time
In the line of time and time .....
In your veins
Under your chest
Heart, lungs and ...

are on special hangers ..
I choose my feelings, select,
in a separate collection,
as a personal set of sublime words
that I make available to myself and others ...
My hats along with my books,
stand on a separate shelf
with my priceless memories ...
That's me ... My favorite items
and the images that feed me
with life energy ...
The soul is thirsty for
beauty and positive feelings ...
While the rain is slowly falling
I collect impressions
and put them in my memory ..

Title: Burning A Candle Both Ends
Burning the candle at both ends,
Results in significant consequences,
Not just burnout but many more negative implications,
Highlighting, therefore, the need for self-care.
Engaging in self-care routine every day,
Is an imperative for overall well-being,
Reducing health issues, and maximising productivity,
At little or no cost, ultimately benefitting everyone.
A tweak here and there, to find time for oneself,
To build and follow an optimal self-care plan,
When kept in a healthy balance, its various dimensions,
It enables higher levels of wellness gradually.
Nevertheless, what works for one,
May not work for you, for self-care,
Is all about you, and hence, customise it,
Incorporating its dynamic nature.
Remember, self-care is never a crime,
It’s prime if you wish to contribute,
To the world you live in and indebted to,
With abundant and perennial love and gratitude.

Take care of yourself, looking up at the sky, with prayer and faith, I measure every step, take care of myself, take care not to make mistakes,
I keep my feelings, my emotions, deep inside me, to remain holy, clean and untouched,
every day is special to me, spend in care of myself and my life, with a plan for the future,
I keep my works as my holiness, my value, I look in them, it's me, I keep every part of me, all my personal things that I know,
I take care of my body, my face, feed my spirit, with spiritual food, without which it does not open, which it always receives from God.

We die, thinking our body is of bricks.
We went against the foghorns on a cold dawn,

Come rain, come sun,

We die with our body raven by ricks.
We pray, thawing our still wants in the bucket

from the unseen scene of sin.
Come rain, come sun,

We pray our soul stay long in its socket.
We love tailing people's flaw, breaking

And patronizing them with it
come rain, come sun,
come pain, come fun.
We love to keep ours from leaking.
