Self-care doesn’t mean you have to treat yourself to a lavish spa day or spend large quantities of money to take care of yourself. Your self is as personal and as intimate as you want it to be. A self-care day could simply mean finding low-tier ways to rejuvenate your spiritual, emotional, social, and physical well-being.
We want to think of self-care as a space that you create that allows you to reset and destress from the chaotic world. What that looks like varies from individual to individual. The act of self-care is the act of being self-ful and not an act of being selfish. So many chronic overpleasers and people who are on the verge of burnout feel such a sense of guilt and dread when they take some time just ‘for themselves’. Instead, we should re-frame self-care in a positive light. It should be as necessary as brushing your teeth in the morning.
What are the 7 pillars of self-care? We have physical health, emotional well-being, social connection, spiritual fulfillment, personal development, environmental management, and finally, we have financial stability. Now that we know what the 7 pillars of self-care are, we can find creative ways to cultivate and energize these pillars based on our lifestyle, values, and schedule.
