Why Do We Need Self Care?
Life moves at such a rapid pace these days. Being busy is worn as a badge of honor. It sometimes seems like no one wants to admit that have a moment to spare to relax. Taking time to crash on the couch with a good book…when was the last time you found time to do this?
Sometimes, when we think of self-care, our mind goes to fun and indulgent self care ideas like a spa day, vacation or a shopping trip. But, while all of those things are really nice, we need to make sure we are covering the basics of caring for ourselves.
Self-care is much more about being intentional with our time and resources. When we make sure that our own basic needs are met, we are much more able to pour our energy into others.
Self care daily habits like drink enough water, getting adequate hours of sleep, spending a time putting the phone away, talking to a family member of friend. These are just some of the self care activities we need in order to thrive. Most self-care activities do not cost any money!
There are a lot of health benefits of self-care. By taking care of ourselves, we are able to:
- Sleep Better
- Stay Healthy
- Maintain Healthy Relationships with Yourself and Others
- Have a Positive Outlook
- Improve Mental Health

Great ideas! It is the craziest month for us too! 🙂
What a wonderful idea, Jaclyn! May is truly a crazy month and it’s important to take care of ourselves so we can better care for our family. Love this!
I was actually thinking about getting a gratitude journal. I suffer from depression and get down in the dumps a lot but I have so many things to be thankful for. My daughter is 9 and she sure is a blessing!
The 10000 step challenge is a great one here too! I work from home as a blogger and I love unplugging and taking my dog for very brisk walks. I wear a FitBit ALL THE TIME and 10,000 steps is my daily goal.
Such great ideas for this busy month of craziness! My goal is basically not to stress out!
Going on some extra long walks to get my 10,000 steps a day has def helped me a lot!
This is so cute and super helpful. I have been trying to be more intentional about my self-care and this would be a great help.
This is an awesome idea! I really like your planner because if you leave it to happen whenever it won’t happen. Even as a mom of adult kids it seems there still isn’t time!
What a fabulous idea!!! I need to keep working on my self care! I always put myself last!
Great tips and these are practical enough to implement! The weekly meal planning is so hard for me but in the end so helpful
