Prioritize selfcare from "summary" of How to Love by Katie Cotugno
Taking care of yourself is not selfish. It is a necessity. In the chaos of daily life, it can be easy to put the needs of others before your own. But neglecting yourself can lead to burnout and resentment. Prioritizing self-care means recognizing that your well-being is just as important as anyone else's.
Self-care looks different for everyone. For some, it might mean taking a long bath or going for a walk. For others, it could be setting boundaries and saying no when necessary. Whatever form it takes, self-care is about making choices that honor your mental, emotional, and physical health.
It can be challenging to prioritize yourself, especially when society often glorifies busyness and sacrifice. But taking care of yourself is not a luxury—it is a fundamental part of living a fulfilling life. When you neglect your own needs, you are not doing anyone any favors.
By making self-care a priority, you are setting the foundation for healthier relationships and a more balanced life. You cannot pour from an empty cup, so it is essential to fill your own cup first. This is not a selfish act—it is an act of self-preservation.
Remember that self-care is not a one-time event. It is an ongoing practice that requires intention and commitment. Take small steps each day to prioritize your well-being, whether that means carving out time for yourself or seeking support when needed.
In a world that constantly demands more from you, it is vital to remember that you are worthy of care and attention. Embrace the concept of self-care not as a luxury, but as a necessity. Your mental, emotional, and physical health depend on it. So, take the time to nourish yourself and prioritize your well-being.
