What they don’t tell you about self-care
Self-care is more than what you see on the ‘Gram. It’s not all bubble baths and getting your nails did. True self-care is deep work and isn’t always easy but it’s so important for your physical and mental health.
These are some of the things they don’t tell you about self-care…
Sometimes you have to evaluate those around you
Self-care can mean removing people from your life who you care about but aren’t good for you. They may not even be aware of how they affect you but certain behaviours may be triggering.
But you’re not selfish for wanting the same energy and love you give.
But sometimes self-care feels selfish
Especially if you’ve spent your life people-pleasing and putting others first. The second you start focusing on your own needs, you might find some people push back when you try to establish boundaries and you prioritise your self-care.
