If I were to ask you the question, “Do you take care of yourself?” or even better yet, “Do you care about yourself?” I bet most of us would say of course. Then I’d ask, “In what ways do you take care of yourself?” That’s when the question gets difficult to answer. Let's unpack a better understanding of what self-care is and how you can bring it into your life in a more realistic and meaningful way.
There are many definitions of what self-care is and through my 20 years of practicing and coaching clients on this, I have come up with my personal definition: Self-care is any activity that we do to take care of our mental, emotional and physical health.
I’ve always believed self-care is something that refuels us, rather than takes from us. There is nothing selfish about self-care; it’s about knowing what we need in order to take care of ourselves better and also take care of others as well. “Fill your cup first so you can fill others around you.”
As psychotherapist Lisa Griffiths said, “The opposite of self-care is self-neglect.” And “neglecting our emotional and physical health leads to increased anxiety, depression and physical illness.”
It’s surprisingly difficult for many of us - the process of stepping aside from our busy and hectic lives and evaluating how we’re doing emotionally, physically and mentally, and then taking the steps to do the necessary things to support ourselves.
Creating self-care is also about creating a mind shift, it’s about elevating yourself to another level of well-being that will profoundly change your health but also your life.
