Self-care is defined by the term itself, caring for yourself. Self-care includes anything that you do to keep yourself healthy, whether it’s physically, mentally or spiritually. Even though prioritizing self-care may sound like common sense, it’s often the first thing to go when we find ourselves in challenging situations. Some of those challenging situations could be bad health, a financial crisis, job loss, divorce or, in our current situation, the COVID-19 pandemic. This is why it is important to keep it top of mind and not an after-thought, especially when we find ourselves in challenging times.

Why is Self-Care Important?

In a society where people are expected to work long hours and skip vacation days, there is an underlying belief that we must always be productive. This can ultimately take away from opportunities for self-care. But by taking some time out to engage in self-care, you may relieve the pressures of everyday life and reset yourself to get back to a healthy point where productivity is once again maximized. Considering the costs associated with mental health services, lost wages and more, spending some time on yourself may ultimately benefit everyone.
