The guide explains that self-care is not limited to addressing the needs of physical well-being alone—it isn’t just about going to the spa. Instead, it includes all aspects of your physical, psychological, social, emotional, and spiritual requirements. The psychological domains of self-care deal with mental health issues such as stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression.
While self-care has become critical to preserving mental health, many still do not give it the importance it deserves. Agnes Branny, the guide’s author, 29k’s psychologist, and life coach, said, “There is the notion of self-care being another thing on our to-do list. All the other areas in life often seem more important in the short run, and self-care can (almost) always wait until tomorrow. So we postpone. Again and again.”
The guide recommends that you approach self-care from a value perspective—no matter how small. Paying attention to your well-being does not require a place, time, or magnitude to complete.
The guide suggests that you list down activities that effectively improve your overall well-being for the long term. When the need for self-care arises, having a list of “me time” pursuits handy allows you to choose an activity that is achievable at the moment.
It is also essential to take an active role in your well-being by scheduling self-care practices, writing them down on your calendar, and making them a part of your daily routines. Additionally, small acts of self-care matter. According to Agnes Branny, “Even if you take one minute to take ten mindful breaths counts. From a neuropsychology point of view, you are training your brain to tell yourself that you are worthy of this time.”
