Do you ever do something for yourself? Self-care is most likely the thing you are neglecting. Many people forget to do this. You are not alone. If you are not taking care of yourself, then it is hard for you to be able to take care of everyone else in your life.

Self-care is any kind of activity that you do deliberately to take the time to take care of yourself. It benefits your mental, emotional, and physical health. Honestly, it is a very simple concept in theory, but it is one thing that is often overlooked.
