Why Does Self-Care Matter?
Self-care includes all of the things you do to take care of your well-being in four key dimensions - your emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual health. If you are a person who gives a lot of yourself in service to the well-being, learning, and growth of others in some way, self-care and care of others becomes a challenging balancing act.
Self-care is essential for managing stress, preventing burnout, and mitigating compassion fatigue - all common occupational hazards for caring individuals. Helpers, healers, and leaders are often focused on the results they are achieving with and for others. Self -care broadens that focus, and involves focusing on yourself and taking time to rest, reflect, replenish, and renew - taking time to nourish and nurture all of who you are so you can continue to be there for others.
