Schedule time for relaxation and selfcare from "summary" of 168 Hours by Laura Vanderkam
In our busy lives, it's easy to neglect ourselves in the pursuit of productivity and success. We often prioritize work, family, and other obligations over our own well-being, believing that self-care is a luxury that can be sacrificed for the sake of other more "important" activities. However, this mindset is counterproductive in the long run. Neglecting self-care can lead to burnout, decreased productivity, and even health problems. That's why it's essential to schedule time for relaxation and self-care. By intentionally setting aside time for activities that recharge us physically, mentally, and emotionally, we can improve our overall well-being and performance in all areas of life. Self-care looks different for everyone, so it's important to identify what activities bring us joy, relaxation, and fulfillment. Whether it's reading a book, taking a long bath, going for a walk in nature, or spending time with loved ones, making time for these activities is crucial for our overall happiness and success. Scheduling time for self-care also helps us establish boundaries and prioritize our own needs. When we intentionally block off time in our schedules for relaxation and self-care, we send a message to ourselves and others that our well-being is a priority. This can help prevent burnout, increase our resilience to stress, and improve our relationships with others.- We can ensure that we are showing up as our best selves in every area of our lives. So, don't underestimate the power of prioritizing relaxation and self-care in your schedule. Your future self will thank you for it.
