Above, we have discussed the importance of self-care and the amazing benefits it can have on your well-being.
But then… why do so many of us fail to be consistent with our self-care rituals?
Well, practicing self-care is not always easy.
Most of us are busy bees. We are having stressful jobs, climbing the corporate ladder or being a boss babe. Some of us are taking care of tiny humans and running a home while (and unfortunately) way too many of us are consumed with technology and social media. As a result of all these, me-time usually ends up at the bottom of the agenda.
I call it the “But I don’t have time” syndrome.
Another inhibiting factor is guilt. Often times, I hear women saying “I feel selfish when taking time for myself.”
I only have one thing to say to this, which you have probably heard before “You cannot pour from an empty cup” it might sound cliché but it doesn’t make it any less true.
With that said, no wonder why getting started with self-care can be challenging.
