Prioritizing selfcare is not selfish, but necessary from "summary" of Eat Move Sleep by Tom Rath
In a world that constantly demands our attention and energy, taking care of ourselves can often feel like a luxury we cannot afford. However, the truth is that prioritizing self-care is not a selfish act – it is a necessary one. When we neglect our own well-being, we not only put ourselves at risk for physical and mental health issues, but we also limit our ability to show up fully for others. Just like how we cannot pour from an empty cup, we cannot give our best to our work, relationships, or passions if we are running on empty ourselves. By making self-care a priority, we are not only investing in our own health and happiness, but we are also setting a positive example for those around us. When we prioritize our well-being, we show others that it is okay to take care of themselves too. Self-care is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It looks different for everyone, and that's okay. Whether it's getting enough sleep, eating nutritious food, moving our bodies regularly, or practicing mindfulness, the key is to find what works best for us and make it a non-negotiable part of our routine. In a society that often glorifies busyness and burnout, it can be easy to fall into the trap of neglecting our own needs. However, by reframing self-care as a necessary part of a fulfilling and sustainable life, we can start to prioritize our well-being without guilt or shame. After all, taking care of ourselves is not a selfish act – it is a vital one.
