Even when we know how important self-care is to our wellbeing, it isn’t always easy to incorporate it into our daily routine. In fact, did you know many women fail when it comes to taking care of themselves?
1️⃣It is often seen as selfish.
It could be that you feel guilty when you take time to focus on you. Or, you may worry what other people think, or that you are a terrible parent for not focusing solely on your children’s needs.
The more we take care of ourselves, the easier we’ll find it to take care of others.
2️⃣It requires effort.
There is no getting away from the fact that self-care does take some level of effort in the beginning. When you aren’t used to making self-care a priority, you’re going to need to make quite a few changes to your routine.
If you break down your self-care tasks, it makes them much easier, reducing a lot of the effort involved.
3️⃣Different approaches work for different people
Every one of us is different, which means we enjoy and dislike different things. When you initially look at examples of self-care, you’ll find a lot of them relate to things like reading a book or taking a hot bubble bath.
These types of activities aren’t for everyone so they might feel self-care really isn’t for them.
Self-care isn’t just bubble baths, yoga, and meditation. It is anything that relaxes and takes care of you. So, if you find going for a run is a more effective way of feeling good, that classifies as self-care in my book.
