Prioritize selfcare from "summary" of Calm the F*ck Down by Sarah Knight
When it comes to self-care, the most important thing you can do is prioritize it. This means putting yourself first and making sure your own needs are met before tending to others. It may seem selfish, but it's actually essential for your well-being. Think of it like putting on your own oxygen mask before assisting others on an airplane - you can't help anyone else if you're not taking care of yourself first. In order to prioritize self-care, you need to set boundaries and say no when necessary. This can be difficult, especially if you're used to saying yes to everything and everyone. But it's important to remember that you can't do it all, and it's okay to decline requests if they don't align with your needs and priorities. By saying no when needed, you're actually saying yes to yourself and your own well-being. Another important aspect of prioritizing self-care is making time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation. This could be anything from taking a bubble bath to going for a walk in nature, or even just sitting quietly with a cup of tea. Whatever it is that helps you unwind and recharge, make sure to carve out time for it regularly. This is not a luxury - it's a necessity for maintaining your mental and emotional health. It's also important to take care of your physical health in order to prioritize self-care. This means eating well, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. These basic self-care activities are often overlooked, but they are crucial for your overall well-being. By taking care of your body, you're better able to handle the stresses and challenges of daily life.- Prioritizing self-care is essential for maintaining your well-being and happiness. By setting boundaries, saying no when necessary, making time for activities that bring you joy, and taking care of your physical health, you're investing in yourself and ensuring that you have the energy and resilience to handle whatever life throws your way. So don't feel guilty about putting yourself first - it's not selfish, it's necessary.
