Many people hear the words self-love and think of spa days, vacations, or expensive treats. It can sound like a luxury. Something extra. Something you earn after you finish everything else.<\/span><\/p>\n

But real self-love is much simpler than that. It is basic mental maintenance. It\u2019s taking care of yourself, going to bed on time, drinking plenty of water, saying no when you are tired, or taking a breath before you react.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our mind and brain need regular care. Just like the body needs sleep and exercise, your <\/span>sant\u00e9 mentale <\/span><\/a>needs daily attention. When we treat self-love as optional, we often end up feeling burned out, resentful, anxious, or sad.<\/span><\/p>\n

We were complimented for being dependable, for stepping up, and for pushing through even when we were tired. Over time, it can start to feel like taking care of everyone else is just what we\u2019re supposed to do \u2014 no matter how we feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

But when you constantly ignore your own feelings, your brain and body pay the price.<\/span><\/p>\n
