No one else will. Self-care is key. I exercise, eat well, drink enough water, get enough sleep, take bubble baths. I also manage my stress, I mind my own business, focus on what&#8217;s important and don&#8217;t sweat the small stuff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I began to train at the gym with weights and that gave me a sense of power and control.
