Self-Care: The Magic Cure

Updated: Nov 25, 2022

Many years ago when I was a single mom, working full time and feeling (to say the least) frazzled, a woman that I admired greatly, looked at me during a business meeting and asked, “When was the last time you did something, anything that had no other purpose then to make you happy: even for a few minutes at a time?"


The question, as far as I was concerned, came out of nowhere and because it had nothing to do with the budget we were discussing I brushed it off. The question came up again at a staff retreat 18 months later. The facilitator we had hired was stressing the need for “self-care”, a must she emphasized for all women, but particularly true for women who were working in the “caring” professions. Great, I thought, one more thing I have to shoe-horn into my schedule.

It will come as no surprise to anyone reading the above, that me and my type-A personality were heading for the stormy seas of burnout. Like thousands of women before me I had to learn the hard way that I was not, in fact, a perpetual motion machine capable of indefinitely juggling dozens of balls simply through sheer will power. In reality, I was more akin to a living battery, and in order to put out energy I had to find a way to “recharge”. Self-care I learned was really the only way to recharge that expended energy.


Over the years I’ve become a convert to the self-care movement and often ask the clients that I’m working with to come up with their own list of “pleasing” things and then commit to practising a least one of the items on the list. I’m often faced with a million reason’s why they can’t: they don’t have the time, they don’t have the money, they don’t have the energy. What it really seems to come down to though is their internalized, often unconscious belief that we are the least important people in our own lives. Practicing self-care on the other hand makes a statement to the people around us and more importantly to ourselves that we are important and we deserve to have joy in our lives.

Such a powerful reflection—self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. It’s amazing how something as simple as doing one small thing just for yourself can shift your mindset and recharge your energy. Making space for joy reminds us we matter too.

On a similar note, when life gets overwhelming, even small to-dos like fixing the AC can add to the stress. That’s why having reliable support helps. For those in Ontario, Ajax HVAC services and AC repair in Grimsby are excellent go-to options to help keep your space comfortable and your peace of mind intact.

This post is a powerful reminder of how crucial self-care is, especially when life feels overwhelming. Taking time for ourselves isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. Even small things, like shopping for something that makes you feel confident and comfortable, can lift your mood. That’s part of why I started my online clothing store for men New Jersey to help others feel good, too.
