If unused time off isn’t enough to convince you, stress can lead to depression, anxiety, burnout, and more serious health problems.

Practicing self-care isn’t always easy. Most of us have stressful jobs or are too consumed with familial obligations and feel drained. Me-time is usually last on the agenda.
