The Importance of Self Care

Sundays are our busiest days! We often spend them getting ready to go back to work on Monday, grocery shopping and, or meal prepping for the week. In the midst of doing work 24/7 in this pandemic, and sometimes forgetting to shower or remember what day it even is, it is important to take care of ourselves. We like to put ourselves on the back burner because we think we have so much to do. Self-care is very important especially in this time of covid. 

Why?

During covid, we are most likely cooped up in our house and it can take a toll on our mental health. Not taking care of our mental health can cause us to fall into depression, which is why the concept of self-care is helpful. You don’t have to dedicate a whole day to it, you can just dedicate 1 hour or even 30 minutes to yourself to just get your bearings so that you’re not feeling stressed all the time.

Is self-care considered selfish?

It is not selfish because we need to make sure we are where we want to be. It’s easy to check in on other people’s mental health and make sure they’re good, but we have to make sure we have to have ourselves in check first. Studies show that it’s incredibly important to maintain a healthy lifestyle because it reduces stress, increases confidence, and gives you a more positive outlook on life. Self-care can really help you in more ways than one. Tell me how do you self-care?
