What does Marian Rivera teach her kids about self-care?

Marian Rivera believes in leading by example when it comes to teaching her children about self-love and self-care. As a mom of two kids — Zia and Sixto — and wife to Dingdong Dantes, she knows that her actions speak louder than words. How can she tell her kids to take care of themselves if they see their mom neglecting her own self-care, she said.

“Sabi ko nga, as a mom and asawa ni Dong, kailangan ako mismo, kumpleto ako at mahal ko ang sarili ko at nakikita ng mga anak ko ‘yan. Kasi, paano ko i-implement sa mga anak ko ‘yan na, ‘Alagaan n’yo ang sarili ninyo, kailangan maayos kayo kapag lalabas,’ kung nakikita nila yung nanay nila hindi nag-aayos?”

(That’s also what I tell people — no matter what your job is, never forget yourself. Whether you’re a woman or a man, you must take care of yourself because that’s where everything starts.)

“Imagine if you wake up in the morning in a bad mood, you’ll be in a bad mood the whole day. But if you wake up and say, ‘I look beautiful,’ then for sure, you’ll have a positive day.

“So, mahalagang-mahalaga na binibigyan mo ng importansiya ang sarili mo bago ang lahat.” (So, it’s really important that you give yourself priority before anything else.)

Her value for self-care extends to the kinds of products she endorses to her family, friends and fans. The Kapuso
