Selfcare should not be viewed as selfish, but as necessary for optimal functioning from "summary" of CrazyBusy by Edward M. Hallowell
Many people mistakenly believe that taking care of oneself is a selfish act, a luxury that should be indulged in only when all other responsibilities are taken care of. But in reality, self-care is not a selfish act at all. It is an essential practice that is crucial for optimal functioning. When we neglect our own needs, we are not only doing ourselves a disservice, but we are also hindering our ability to be productive and effective in other areas of our lives. Just like a car needs regular maintenance to run smoothly, our bodies and minds require proper care and attention in order to function at their best. Taking time for self-care is not a sign of weakness or laziness. It is a sign of strength and wisdom. By prioritizing our own well-being, we are better equipped to handle the demands and challenges of everyday life. We are more patient, focused, and resilient when we take the time to recharge and rejuvenate ourselves. Self-care can take many forms, whether it's getting enough sleep, eating nourishing foods, exercising regularly, practicing mindfulness, or simply taking a break to relax and unwind. Whatever form it may take, self-care is an investment in ourselves that pays off in increased energy, creativity, and overall well-being. So, instead of viewing self-care as a selfish act, we should see it as a necessary practice that enables us to be the best version of ourselves. It is not a luxury, but a fundamental requirement for living a healthy, balanced, and fulfilling life. By taking care of ourselves, we are better able to take care of others and fulfill our responsibilities with grace and ease.
