The Neuroscience Of Self-Care And Why It’s So Important
The Neuroscience Of Self-Care And Why It’s So Important
Being stressed for a long period of time is dangerous to your body. Not only does stress affect your mental health, it also leads to physical consequences.
Neuroscience proves how stress renders you vulnerable to potential diseases. Pursuing the hustle culture and the fast-paced life compromises the chemicals that your body needs to regulate properly. If you don’t give yourself a break or slow down from your work or other priorities, your body might be the one to decide it for you.
In this episode, John shares the importance of self-care and why people need to give themselves an ideal time to relax, recharge, and rest. Self-care is a preventative measure to overcome stress and keep you healthy.
Feel-good hobbies are effective self-care activities, especially when you spend time with the people you love. As it helps produce the chemicals your body needs to maintain your overall well-being, it’s time to prioritize self-care above all else, especially amid a busy life.
