Self-care is viewed as an active factor in enhancing our well-being. Anything that contributes to your overall wellness might be considered self-care. Self-care can be that 15 minutes break you take between work, and similarly, it can be your visit to the spa for a good foot massage. In short, self-care is anything that offers you inner peace.
Stress is our constant companion in our daily lives, making it important to pay attention to ourselves. During such times, people opt for stress relief activities, go to yoga, or hit the gym. But all these activities will not do any good if we do not care for ourselves on the primary level. Getting adequate sleep or following a healthy diet is the first step. If we eat healthily, only then will we be able to exercise properly.
All in all, self-care is taking care of oneself on a physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual level. Self-care, however, is often thought of as a luxury. But in truth, a self-care practice entails caring for oneself in any way one can.
