Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s one of the highest forms of self-love. When you prioritize your well-being, you’re affirming that your needs matter. From setting boundaries to making space for rest, self-care helps replenish your energy, focus, and confidence. It also supports emotional regulation and resilience, making it easier to show up fully in all areas of your life (Neff, 2011).

A simple self-care takeaway this week: schedule one non-negotiable act of care for yourself today. Whether it’s a quiet bath, a walk in nature, a skincare ritual, or journaling with your favorite tea—make it intentional. Self-love is built through small, consistent acts of kindness toward yourself.
