The psychology behind why taking care of yourself makes you better at everything else.

Why it matters

Looking after yourself is not an indulgence to be justified. It is the unglamorous upkeep that makes everything else easier, and it looks different for everyone.

What to keep in mind

  • Choose what actually restores you, not what looks good
  • Protect a small amount of time, consistently
  • Let go of doing it perfectly

The bottom line

If it leaves you feeling more like yourself, it is working.
