Self-care for yourself needs to be just as important as the care you provide other people. This is just as important for both your physical and mental well-being. It helps improve resilience to stress, prevent burnout, boost self-esteem, and enhances your overall quality of life. Making this a priority allows you to be more present and better equipped to handle life's challenges, and help those that need you.
