There was no question of a moment for oneself, In today’s hectic and demanding life, it seems almost natural to take a moment for yourself from time to time. Taking a break from the constant flow of responsibilities and obligations can be invaluable to our physical and mental health. But this has not always been the case. Looking back, we realize that taking a moment for yourself has not always been possible.
Back then, in times of economic hardship and strict social norms, the concept of self-care was almost unheard of. Life was all about surviving and staying afloat. People worked long hours to meet their basic needs and had little time to think about their own well-being. Moreover, individual needs were often subordinated to the needs of the community, family or employer.
Nor was the idea of a moment of one’s own culturally or socially acceptable. It was seen as selfish and selfish. People were encouraged to step aside for the sake of others, and personal happiness often took a back seat.
Fortunately, times have changed. With advances in technology, improved standards of living, and a growing awareness of the importance of wellness, the concept of self-care is becoming more accepted and encouraged. People now realize that they can take better care of others if they take care of themselves first. Taking a moment for yourself is not a sign of selfishness, but rather a sign of self-respect and a desire for a more balanced life.
In modern society, there are countless ways to take a moment for yourself. Whether it’s meditation, yoga, walking in nature, reading a book, or simply relaxing with a cup of tea, those moments of introspection and stillness have become essential in coping with the pressures of modern life.
It is important to remember that taking some time for yourself is not a luxury, but a necessity. Only by taking good care of ourselves can we fully commit to others and the tasks ahead. So, let’s not forget to take this much-needed time for ourselves from time to time and enjoy its benefits.
