Self-Care As The World Caves In
A few reasons it’s still important to take care of yourself when it feels like the world is crumbling around you
A few brief reasons self-care is still important while the world goes to hell:
You are a person, you are important.
✨ You deserve to be happy and healthy, and take care of your general wellbeing.
✨You have inherent worth and importance as a human being — ALL humans deserve as much health and happiness as possible, including you.
You hurting doesn’t help anyone
✨ It’s no good punishing yourself for things outside your control.
✨ Neglecting yourself does not help anyone else with their problems.
✨ Neglecting yourself solves nothing.
You can’t help anyone if you’re not OK
✨ ‘You can’t pour from an empty glass’ — ‘put on your own oxygen mask first’
…Well-known phrases for what I’m saying here.
✨ You can’t help anyone if you’re not in a position — financially, physically, mentally, whatever — to help.
