Self-care is popular these days. It has become a buzz topic for many millennials.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t let that fact make you think that self-care is synonymous with some sort of self-indulgence, that it is another example of the laziness of youth, or even aspirations for some unachievable state of bliss and nirvana.<\/p>\n

Self-care is not indulgent. Self-care is authentic, and it matters\u2014more than you might think.<\/p>\n

What Is Self-Care?<\/h2>\n

Self-care is the mindset, activities, practices, and habits we bring to bear against stress, unhappiness, illness, depression, and many more negative emotions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Self-care is about giving ourselves relief when we feel overwhelmed and addressing our problems holistically. Self-care activities are usually carried out, or at least initiated, by the person themselves. To care for yourself, you need to know your needs and seek them out.<\/p>\n

Why Is Self-Care Important?<\/h2>\n

While it is easy to say that self-care is some new indulgent fad, this is not true. People have been talking about the need for self\u2014care\u2014and the mind-body-spirit relationship that self-care helps foster\u2014for many years.<\/p>\n

In fact, the first mention of self-care goes back to the Egyptians, who discussed ideas like using specific oils to improve moods and fight ailments (similar to our modern-day essential oil benefits).<\/p>\n

How Practicing Self-Care Can Change Your life<\/h2>\n

The first thing to remember about self-care is that it is not indulgent.<\/p>\n

As with a plane that has lost pressure, the right thing to do in life is always to help you first. Then, when you have your gas mask in place, you can assist others.<\/p>\n

The reason for this is simple. Until you are helped, you will likely cause more problems and become part of the overall problem rather than being part of the solution.<\/p>\n

Self-care is all about taking care of the little things that matter, helping to heal you so that you can become part of the solution.<\/p>\n

Self-Care Ideas<\/h2>\n

There is no single viewpoint on the best self-care ideas because not everyone values all self-care activities equally.<\/p>\n

For example, my wife views getting a pedicure as one of the most relaxing and invigorating experiences in her life. It restores balance for her and gives her the energy to face many challenges.<\/p>\n

But getting a pedicure actually builds tension in my body and mind. I don\u2019t like people playing around with my feet, which annoys me.<\/p>\n
