Burning out is one of the primary risks you face as you work towards your goals and so focusing on self-care as a way to minimize the impact of burnout is one of the best investments you can make.

I feel as a creative or worker in general we tend to be to harsh to ourselves on days we feel low or even like not doing anything. I learned that it’s totally fine to “only” stay home the whole day, do some laundry, cook a nice meal and watching a movie. Our body needs rest aswell as our mind does. Read More>>

I found my purpose through a long process of doing, reflecting, and simply being. It didn’t arrive early in my life. Growing up in a family of engineers and medical researchers, I assumed my career had to follow one of those paths—neither of which truly interested me. In post–Cultural Revolution China, education was everything. Read More>>

I’ll be honest, self-care hasn’t always come naturally to me. I’m one of those people who loves to learn, create, and take on a million projects at once, so slowing down or leaving white space on my calendar used to feel impossible. Read More>>

Self-care is essential for me. I learned early on in adulthood how paying attention to my emotional state, energetic state, and physical state had a powerful impact on the rest of my day. On days that these things were ignored, I would very distinctly feel depleted, out of balance, depressed, and muddy in my thinking. Read More>>

For me, self-care isn’t something separate from my everyday life—it’s woven into the way I move through my day, the way I connect with myself, and the way I show up for others. As a Professional Counselor, Yoga Psychology and Meditation Teacher, Somatic Practitioner, and mother of 4 children, I use the same tools I teach—because they genuinely support my own nervous system, my parenting, my work, and my wellbeing.

I love this question because most people think of self-care as massages, bubble baths, getting your nails done, or a fun girls’ night out . Those are lovely forms of self-care. But for me, true self-care began when I started my health journey. It wasn’t glamorous but it was intentional. Read More>>

Self-care has really impacted me because it’s helped me understand who I am today. Taking time to slow down and truly get to know myself has made it easier for me to reflect, make better choices, and set healthy boundaries. It also shows me the areas I still need to grow in, without judging myself for being a work in progress. Read More>>

For me, self care goes beyond eating healthy and exercising. I think these two things are extremely important, don’t get me wrong, but prioritizing self care from a mental health perspective has been a game changer for me. I am a huge fan of therapy- which has had such a profound impact on me over the years Read More>>

Growing up, I didn’t have a clear understanding of self-care. From what I saw, it’d emphasize the more external, surface level parts, so I would tend more to my physical—buying what I wanted, better makeup, taking a longer bath. Read More>>

For self care I like to make sure I focus on myself daily every morning before entering the world even on electronics. I pray, meditate, say my mental & verbal affirmations, and shower with peaceful thoughts to start the day. Read More>>

Our company’s motto is “Distributing wellness to businesses and homes”. Therefore, my self-care goes hand in hand with my business as we distribute high-quality kombucha, matcha and cold brew coffee in kegs. Kombucha and matcha are some of the fastest-growing health beverages on the market. Kombucha is full of probiotics that support the gut microbiome, improving digestion. Matcha is my go-to drink whenever I need an energy boost. Read More>>

For me, self-care is about staying grounded and intentional. I start my mornings with a workout, hydration, and time in the infrared sauna — that’s my reset button for the day. It gives me momentum, discipline, and clarity before the demands of work begin. Read More>>
