"Self-Care is Tuning in: recognizing, earlier and earlier, the subtle physical signs of potential difficulties. Caring people become good at reading other people's body language: clenched jaw, stooped shoulders, and sad eyes. Self-care means tuning into ourselves and learning how to read our own body language."

— Sheila K. Collins, PhD Stillpoint: A Self-care playbook for caregivers to find ease and time to breathe, and reclaim joy (2018)
