Self-Care is for Everyone

Self-Care is essential to ones physical and mental wellbeing. Many people believe self-care is "selfish" however, it is quite the opposite. Self-care allows us to become the best version of ourselves. If we are feeling exhausted and drained all the time, we are not going to be the best friend, caregiver, partner, or employee. There is only so much a person can give. 

Selfish is not considering others. It is ignoring how we impact others and operating with a complete lack of consideration of others. Self-care is taking the steps to care for ourselves, in order to care for others. As humans, we have to help ourselves first, before we can help someone else. 

Self-care is necessary for us to be able to thrive. It is about making time for the things that make us feel alive and forgetting everything that doesn't. It can be taking the time to fit in reading, drawing, writing, exercise, or rest. It is prioritizing healthy meals, taking a step from relationships, meeting with a counselor, hanging with a friend. It is what is needed to maintain us. Self-care emphasizes our worth. Taking the time to connect with ourselves enables us to feel validated, and emphasize we no longer need to rely on external sources. 

Self-Care is a lot of things. Self-Care is different for everyone. But we are in control of it!
