Taking a break, enjoying a hobby, or seeking professional guidance are all valid and proactive steps towards self-care. Sometimes, taking that time off or engaging in some me-time can seem like a luxury, but it's not indulgent at all - it's necessary!

We hope to hear more from OP and everyone else about their experiences and strategies for effective self-care!

TS has set a great precedent for the importance of self-care and how it's not a luxury but a necessity. Selfishness comes to mind - in the best way possible! We often see putting others first as a virtue, but TS reminds us that we can't pour from an empty cup. Taking care of oneself allows us to give others the very best of ourselves.

sunflower's thread is a great reminder that we shouldn't see selfishness as a negative quality, especially when it comes to looking after ourselves. We can't give others quality care if we're running on empty.

Self-care is important and sunflower has rightly emphasized that. We often hear people say that helping others is a noble deed, but one can only fill the cup by pouring from it first. So it's not being selfish - it's being smart!

sunflower has started an interesting thread here! Being selfless is great, but we also need to remember the importance of filling our own cups first. Only then can we effectively help others without compromising our well-being. TS makes a thoughtful point about the wisdom in prioritizing self-care. It's not selfish; it's practical and necessary!

TS makes a very valid point. Self-care is often seen as a luxury or even selfish, but it's really a necessity. We can't pour from an empty cup, after all. Sunflower, your words are wise!

TS makes an important distinction here. Self-care is often perceived as a luxury, almost indulgent, but she's right in emphasizing its necessity. We can't neglect our own needs and expect to show up fully for others. Let's heed her wise words!

TS makes such an important point that self-care is often viewed as a luxury. It's actually a necessity and we shouldn't feel guilty about prioritizing it!
