Why I Dance Before A 12 AM Deadline (And You Should Too)
Self-care is NOT selfish.
Most people are finally warming up to this idea, but our work culture (and modern culture as a whole) makes it a real head-scratcher to be there for ourselves before ticking off the things in our to-do list.
Can I really spend 30 minutes at the gym when I have laundry piling up?
Can I take a break to listen to music when the house looks a mess?
Can I make time for a face mask when I still have emails to answer?
My answer is this:
Yes. Yes, you can.
Say no to compromise
Believe me, I know it’s so much harder than it sounds.
Somehow, we have allowed ourselves to feel that we can, in fact, put our mental health and our body’s needs second to the other external things that dictate our lifestyle, whether it’s our work, our relationships, or the dozen other responsibilities that we add to our plate.
Why? Because we’re acutely aware of the consequences of neglecting them.
Haven’t wrapped up that big presentation? Your boss is going to scream at you.
Haven’t spent 2 hours booking that reservation at that restaurant? Your spouse isn’t going to be happy.
Haven’t checked your emails 15 times a day? Who knows who might be upset if you didn’t.
You get the idea. It’s like a big red alarm going off in your brain whenever you even imagine not doing these things.
It’s truly mind-boggling that we don’t feel the same way about our health, even if we do find ourselves constantly tired and skipping lunches because we absolutely need to make time for the things that are important.
Ask yourself just one question: Aren’t you going through all this stress for the ultimate goal of being happy and healthy, at the end of the day?
