Have you heard the term "personal self-care?" I used to think that personal self-care meant being self-indulgent. To me, it was like wealthy heiresses spending half the day getting massages and pedicures then spending the rest of the day playing mahjong. I'm the kind of person who tends to put others first. So spending time on "personal self-care" seemed really selfish.

But I came to realize it just means keeping all parts of yourself—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual—healthy and happy. Taking care of yourself, especially in a time of crisis is not selfish. It's necessary.
