The importance of selfcare from "summary" of Yes Please by Amy Poehler
Self-care is a concept that is often overlooked or dismissed as selfish or indulgent. However, taking care of oneself is not only important, but necessary for overall well-being. As I have learned through my own experiences, self-care is essential for maintaining a healthy balance in life. It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, constantly pushing ourselves to do more and be more. However, neglecting our own needs and well-being can have serious consequences. Just like a car needs regular maintenance to run smoothly, our bodies and minds require care and attention to function properly. Self-care is not just about pampering oneself with spa days or shopping sprees (although those can be nice too). It is about taking the time to rest, recharge, and prioritize our own mental and physical health. This can include simple acts like getting enough sleep, eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, and setting boundaries with others. In a world that is constantly demanding more from us, it is easy to neglect our own needs in favor of meeting the expectations of others. However, this can lead to burnout, stress, and even physical health problems. By making self-care a priority, we are better able to show up for ourselves and others in a more positive and healthy way. Self-care is not a luxury, but a necessity. It is a way of showing ourselves love and compassion, and recognizing that our needs are just as important as anyone else's. So, take the time to care for yourself, because in the end, you are worth it.
