Have you felt overwhelmed, sad, angry, stressed, anxious or afraid?
Being an adult sometimes comes with overwhelming responsibilities. We have goals to meet at work, and we have a lot of work to do at home. The only way to be at peace with ourselves is by embracing the numerous responsibilities and taking time to focus on what is essential. This includes self-care.
Many of us pay little attention to self-care, and we need to be conscious of our well-being before we can achieve our true self-care. It starts from the simple acts like not checking our emails at night when we know it affects our sleep and extends to more important decisions like going on vacation.
While some may misconstrue self-care as selfish, it is far from that. When you pay adequate attention to your well-being, you are not considering your needs alone. You are reinvigorating yourself so that you can be the best version of yourself for other people around you.
Identify the things that matter to you. what motivates you and inspires you is different than the other person next door. Look for the things that make you feel alive. Go live your best life.
