Discover why true success starts with self-care and why it’s time to put yourself first. Here’s how the world’s most successful women make time for themselves, and why you should too.
We’re always busy, aren’t we? Running from one task to the next, checking in on everyone else, making sure the world around us is still spinning. But when was the last time you truly checked in on yourself? And no, I’m not talking about the latest self-care fads splattered all over the internet — bubble baths and fancy face masks aren’t going to fix what’s broken inside. I mean really checking in. Going to your doctor, reflecting in a journal, spending a day with your thoughts and no distractions.
Sounds simple, right? But how often do we actually do it?
We convince ourselves that success means running on empty, that taking time for ourselves is a luxury. But the truth is, if you don’t invest in your own well-being, you’ll burn out long before you ever hit your goals. Look around at the world’s most successful women — Oprah, Sheryl Sandberg, Arianna Huffington — they didn’t get to the top by neglecting themselves. In fact, they’ve all publicly shared how important self-care is to their journey.
