Why it's important to take care of YOU

Everyday can be a hustle and bustle of life, making it easy to neglect you and your well-being.

Everything from work, family, and other responsibilities are often prioritized above your needs, leaving the feeling of being drained, depleted and confused.

This is one reason "WHY" investing time and effort into self-care is essential to maintaining physical, emotional, and mental health.

Self care is to nurture your mind, body, and spirit on a regular basis. When these things are neglected, we're more prone to stress, burnout, and health problems.

On the other hand, when done correctly, practicing self-care can improve our mood, boost energy levels, and enhance overall quality of life.

Here are four other reasons taking care of self is important:

1. Self care gives you dedicated time to reflect on your values, needs and priorities. What areas of your life currently lack attention or care? If you aren't sure take our Self Care Quiz . Think about what activities or practices make you feel happy, relaxed, and fulfilled? 

2. Self care helps you create routine and consistency. Once you identify your needs and priorities, make a list of activities or practices that you can do regularly. I partake in at least one self care act every Wednesday and Saturday, whether it's hair and nail care or trying a new recipe for one of my favorite meals. Schedule this time in your calendar, treating it as non-negotiable appointments with yourself. To create you own list of self care activities, get our Self Care Guide

3. As you build your self care routine, you'll want to share it with other like minded people, seek support and accountability. People cheering for you, will help you stick to your plan. Share your goals and intentions with trusted family, friends, groups or a coach / therapist. 

4. Self care helps you celebrate you and your progress. Recognize the efforts you're making to prioritize yourself and acknowledge the positive changes you're making. 

Self-care is a powerful act of self-love and self-respect. By prioritizing your well-being and investing in yourself, you're laying the foundation for a happier, healthier, and more balanced life. So, take that first step, You deserve it!
