Whenever I take time for self-care or relaxation, I can't shake off this overwhelming sense of guilt. It's as if I'm letting everyone down by not constantly hustling and being productive. How do I break free from this toxic mindset and allow myself to prioritize my mental well-being guilt-free?

Hey there! Hope you're doing well. I understand practicing self care can sometimes bring up feelings of guilt, it is something that we have been conditioned to not do in order to succeed in the hustle culture. However, I want to assure you that it is not selfish and if sometimes things get too heavy for you, it's okay to take time to refresh and recharge yourself. Try to challenge the distorted thoughts that contribute to your guilt and reframe and recognise what is essential for your overall health. You can also start with smaller acts of self care if big changes are overwhelming for you and then you can gradually work towards bigger changes.

Hello there, you know when you fly in a plane , you are instructed that in case of emergency first put on your oxygen mask before helping others. Similarly when you are yourself not relaxed, and fulfilled how can you take care of others around you? So self care is not a luxury but a necessity. Hope this helps you with looking at self care from a different perspective.

Hi, everyone, I’m Yogita Sapra, a psychologist! I’m thrilled to be here with all of you today. My journey to becoming a psychologist started when I was young and witnessed the struggles my family faced with mental health challenges. One defining moment for me was when a close family member went through a difficult time and struggled to find the right support. I saw firsthand how much of an impact understanding and compassionate care could make. That experience ignited my passion for psychology and inspired me to pursue a career where I could help others navigate their own mental health journeys. Through years of study and practice, I’ve learned how powerful our minds are in shaping our overall well-being, and I’m excited to share tools and strategies that can help you lead a more balanced, fulfilling life.more
