You Can’t Pour from an Empty Cup: Self-Care Without the Guilt
What Self-Care Really Means
It’s not always bubble baths and candles (though those are great). Real self-care is:
-
Saying “no” without overexplaining
-
Taking a break before you're exhausted
-
Nourishing your body, mind, and spirit consistently
Simple Self-Care Practices You Can Start Today:
-
Set a 10-minute boundary between work and personal time
-
Unfollow one account that makes you feel “less than”
-
Replace one task on your to-do list with rest
Final Words:
Rest is productive. You don’t have to earn it. Your well-being is the foundation for everything else.
