"Self-care isnât selfish; it's essential for maintaining balance in our lives. When we care for ourselves, we are better positioned to support others."
"Identifying our own needs during the off-peak holiday season allows for personalized self-care that rejuvenates us for both personal and communal responsibilities."
The period between Valentine's and St. Patrick's Day presents an opportunity to establish a personal self-care holiday. Instead of adhering to societal expectations, individuals are encouraged to identify their unique needs for balance. This may involve solitude, social activities, relaxation, or even planning a favorite meal. Mindfulness in planning this time is crucial as rushing can negate the benefits of self-care. Prioritizing self-care helps combat the guilt associated with taking time for oneself, leading to improved well-being and better support for others.
