Self-Care Is Not Selfish

Taking care of yourself is not a luxury. It’s not lazy. And it’s nothing to feel guilty about.

Self-care simply means paying attention to your body and mind before they start screaming for help.

Why We Feel Guilty About Self-Care

Many people are used to putting everything else first—work, family, responsibilities. Rest often comes last.

But ignoring your needs doesn’t make you stronger. It usually leads to more stress, pain, and burnout.

Self-Care Looks Different for Everyone

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. It can be simple things like:

• Resting when your body is tired

• Stretching or moving gently

• Drinking water

• Getting a massage

• Taking quiet time without apologizing for it

If it helps you feel better, it counts.

Why Massage Is Part of Self-Care

Massage helps your body relax, reset, and recover. It supports both physical and mental well-being.

It’s not about being indulgent. It’s about taking care of yourself so you can keep showing up for your life.

You’re Allowed to Take Care of Yourself

You don’t need a reason to rest.You don’t need to “earn” self-care.

Listening to your body is enough.
