What really is self care?
Seeing a number of advertisements selling "self care products" made me wonder what is self care?
In our daily maddening routine, somewhere we forget about ourselves, don't we? Working hard is undoubtedly a positive thing but we need to appreciate and pamper ourselves too. I have read dozens of articles about self care, recommending number of products like lotions, soaps, shampoos, candles and the list goes on and on!
Yes, there are a bunch of roles to play daily. Yes, there are responsibilities you have to carry daily. You should look after yourself daily too! There are tough times when self care seems a little selfish but valuing yourself is going to give you more strength to deal with difficulties life will throw at you.
It is wonderful if everyone is aware about their own wellness. Believe it or not those 10 minutes in morning when you enjoy the specific tea with lemon grass and elaichi, shows you love yourself and gives you satisfaction as well as confidence.
Come to think about it, even when we do something as small as cutting nails, we are taking care of ourselves! Looking after oneself shows how one is hopeful and interested in their own life. It isn't about expensive fancy products that symbolize self care, little moments you have with yourself making you feel good is self care too.
