But the truth of the matter is that everyone needs to practice self-care in order to replenish those stores of&nbsp;mental, physical and emotional energy. Truly\u2014self-care is not selfish, it\u2019s necessary\u2014and can affect every aspect of our lives, from our work life to our social life and to our personal life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that when we take care of ourselves, we&#8217;re also taking care of our loved ones and our community. Think of it this way: self-care helps you refill your cup so you don&#8217;t run dry. Just like securing your own oxygen mask on an airplane, you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-self-care\">What

workloads and the pressures of boundless productivity\u2014resulting in more people&nbsp;turning to wellness and self-care practices for solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what is self-care? Is it a face mask, a bubble bath, a glass of wine paired with dark chocolate after a long day? Do these so-called self-care practices even quell our burnout?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her article, <em>Self-care is Expensive and Lonely. It Doesn\u2019t Have to Be<\/em>,&#8221; author Rina Raphael explains that real self-care is not a DIY activity. Self-care is something that is integrated within a collective or communal structure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raphael discovers that younger generations like Gen Z seem to have gotten the memo about human connection, agreeing that their social life affects their wellness as much as their physical health. In fact, current top self-care <a href=\"https:\/\/vacayou.com\/magazine\/10-self-care-activities-incorporate-busy-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">practices<\/a> do not even heavily rely on consumerism.
