Prioritizing self-care is not a luxury but a necessity for all of humanity. By taking care of ourselves, we not only improve our own well-being but also set a positive example for those around us. Let us remember that self-care is not selfish but, in fact, an act of self-love that allows us to show up as the best versions of ourselves for others. It is a vital practice that ensures we have the energy and resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges. Just as Psalm 23:1-3 reminds us, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.” So, let us make self-care a non-negotiable part of our daily routine and prioritize our health and happiness above all else, knowing that it is in caring for ourselves that we can better serve others.
