Self-Care In Support Of Your Mental Health: The Dangers of Skipping Self-Care Time Too Often
Everyone has probably found themselves in this scenario at least once or twice: you have big plans to spend a quiet and relaxing evening at home, engaging in your favorite self-care activity… when work calls, demanding that you come in and help with a sudden emergency.
You sigh, knowing the problem could be quickly resolved if you ditched your self-care plans and just went into work, even though it is your day off.
Now, imagine if you did this every single time a request or emergency arose. You would likely find yourself scratching self-care time off your schedule often. There are dangers in not getting enough self-care time, such as…
1. Burnout
Not taking time to rest and care for yourself can lead to extreme apathy toward your job and other aspects of your life, leaving you feeling burned out.
2. Increased anxiety
Without self-care, you don’t get a chance to “cool down” and relax. If you feel like you are constantly on edge, your anxiety levels can skyrocket.
3. Exhaustion
Self-care gives you an opportunity to rest, relax, and restore yourself. If you constantly push off self-care time to complete other tasks, you never get the rest you need to fully recover from the hustle of life, which can lead to extreme exhaustion.
