Selfcare is not selfish

I want to dive into a topic that's near and dear to my heart – self-care.

It is important to maintaining a healthy relationship with yourself. It is not only making sure to do things for your fysical health but also for your mind and soul. You need to be engaging in activites that all those three parts of you.

Few years ago I had a bad concious every time I took time for myself. I was a single mom then and felt sometimes I was being selfish when I went to the gym or engaged in other ativites that was good for my mind and/or soul. But after a while I understood that taking care of myself wasn't selfish - it is necessity for our health and being the best version of ourselfes!

The Myth of Selfishness

Picture this: You're on an airplane, and the flight attendant instructs you to put on your oxygen mask before assisting others. Why? Because you can't help anyone else if you're running on empty oxygen. The same goes for life. Self-care isn't selfish; it's about securing your own oxygen mask first so you can conquer your midlife adventures with gusto.
