During a season focused on gratitude, have you taken time to thank your body lately for how it serves you from day to day, moment to moment? How often do you give your mind, emotions, and physical wellbeing some calm, attentive wellness-centered care?
Selfcare neglect is a worldwide concern right now, believing to contribute to the high stress and anxiety levels that have been escalating over the last five years. Surveys are abounding revealing that over 70% of family caregivers needed to reduce their stress, balance caregiving duties with their own needs, and improve their overall health, including proper sleep and nutrition. One out of every three early career professionals world-wide is taking time off from work due to feeling burned out and 40% of them are due to neglect of self-care (WHO). In the U.S. 50% of employees are feeling burned out, largely due to selfcare neglect.
During the holidays, the stress increases. An American Psychological Association survey revealed that 89% of U.S. adults say something causes them stress during the holidays—even if they also feel joy. A Harvard Medical School study found that 62% of people report elevated stress levels during the holidays.
Studies have also helped us understand that when we continue to neglect selfcare, we will become emotionally exhausted, cynical, detached from others, form a negative perspective, become less productive and efficient, potentially impacting our professional and personal achievements.
