Why Self-Care Isn’t Selfish
Self-care protects your mental and emotional health.
Many believe that prioritizing yourself is selfish, but self-care is essential for sustainable well-being. Without rest, emotional space, and clear boundaries, even the most resilient people eventually burn out.
Self-care means learning when to pause, when to say no, and when to choose yourself without guilt.
It is not about avoiding responsibility; it’s about maintaining the emotional resources needed to meet your responsibilities with energy and compassion.
Through therapy, individuals often realize that self-care is an act of courage, not selfishness. It's about making choices that nourish rather than deplete.
