It is important to Prioritize Self-Care. Here’s Why.

We could all use a little time for ourselves, but it’s often difficult to take the time to prioritize ourselves or we feel guilty doing so. Fortunately, there are small steps we can all take to better care for our physical and mental health.

Self-care “describes a conscious act one takes in order to promote their own physical, mental, and emotional health.”1 

Self-care is the things you do to live your healthiest and happiest life. It comes in many forms, from getting enough sleep to enjoying a pleasant walk or getting some fresh air. For some people, self-care could be getting their steps in every day. For others, it might be meditation, while others might prioritize their nutrition. It could be all of those things, or none of them — Self-care looks different for every person. 

Why Self-Care?

No matter what you choose to do for yourself, you must do it! Sure, we all live different lives, but there’s no denying that everyone deals with stress, worry, and mental and physical blockades. We all deal with burnout and hardships, but one of the best ways to combat those problems is to take time to care for ourselves. When we get back to the basics of caring for ourselves and prioritize self-care, it becomes easier to cope with whatever comes our way. 

Keep in mind, prioritizing self-care is not in any way selfish. It might be hard for those of us who are natural caretakers or people-pleasers, but when you take care of yourself first, it’s easier to take care of others too. 

Ways to Prioritize Self-Care

If you’re not sure where to start with your self-care, the first place to start is to figure out your mental, physical, and emotional health goals, then decide on small things you can do every day to achieve those goals. Here are a few ideas: 

  • For Mental Health: 
    • Meditate. 
    • Limit screen time. 
    • Read 15 minutes a day. 
    • Practice your hobbies. 
    • Seek help for mental conditions. 
  • For Emotional Health: 
    • Talk to a friend or family member. 
    • Focus on the things that are important to you. 
    • Cut out the things that are time-wasters or no longer important.
    • Take notice of your emotions and the way you react to them. 
  • For Physical Health: 
    • Add more fruits and vegetables to your diet. 
    • Walk 15 minutes a day. 
    • Follow a workout routine and schedule.
