Selfcare is essential for happiness from "summary" of Happiness is a Habit by Michele Phillips
To achieve true happiness, it is vital to prioritize self-care. Taking care of oneself is not a luxury or indulgence; it is a necessity. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it can be easy to neglect our own well-being in favor of other responsibilities. However, neglecting self-care can have negative consequences on our mental, emotional, and physical health. Self-care is about recognizing and honoring our own needs. It involves setting boundaries, saying no when necessary, and making time for activities that bring us joy and fulfillment. When we neglect self-care, we are more likely to experience stress, burnout, and feelings of resentment. On the other hand, when we prioritize self-care, we are better equipped to handle life's challenges with grace and resilience. Self-care looks different for everyone. For some, it may involve taking time to meditate or exercise. For others, it may mean spending quality time with loved ones or indulging in a favorite hobby. Whatever form it takes, self-care is about nourishing our mind, body, and soul. It is about showing ourselves the same kindness and compassion that we would offer to a friend in need. When we make self-care a priority, we are better able to show up as our best selves in all areas of our lives. We are more present, more patient, and more compassionate. We are better able to handle stress and adversity. In short, self-care is the foundation upon which happiness is built. By taking the time to care for ourselves, we are investing in our own well-being and laying the groundwork for a more fulfilling and joyful life. So, the next time you feel overwhelmed or stressed, remember that self-care is not selfish; it is essential. Make yourself a priority and watch as happiness naturally follows.
