Who Needs Self-Care the Most?

Everyone needs self-care int heir life, no matter who you are, what your family dynamic 
is like, and what you do for a living. However, some people tend to be more in need of 
self-care and need to really focus on adding more of it into their life.


The Workaholic

Someone who claims to be a workaholic, where they feel “obsessed” with being busy 
and working constantly is definitely in need of adding more self-care to their life. It isn’t a 
bad thing to want to work hard and reach all of the goals you have in your life, but when 
you feel like your entire identity is about work and all your free time goes to work, you 
neglect yourself.

If you label yourself as a workaholic, it is time to incorporate some self-care into your 
daily routine.


The “Never Say No” 

Are you someone who never says no, whether because you just want to be helpful or 
feel like you can’t? If so, this is a negative thought pattern and one that is going to 
require you to focus a bit more time on yourself.

It can often seem like you’re just being nice and helpful, but when it affects your own 
life, it becomes just another way to neglect your own needs. Self-care isn’t selfish; you 
need to take care of your own mental and physical health in order to help other people.


The Business Owner

People of all professions need self-care, but when you run a business, it often takes a 
lot out of you. The time and energy you spend working on your business is probably 
leading to a lot of neglect in your own life and personal needs.

Running a business causes a lot of stress, but you can mitigate some of that stress just 
be having certain times of the day where you focus on self-care.


The Social Butterfly

Another person who might need to focus more on self-care is someone who tends to be 
the social one of the group. You spend so much of your time focusing on other people, 
that you likely don’t stop to pay attention to yourself.

Even if you are a social, extroverted person who gets their energy from being around 
other people, your self-care should probably be alone. It gives you that little bit of time 
every day to just focus on your own needs.


The Parents

Lastly, parents need a lot more self-care than they give themselves! This includes stay 
at home parents and working parents. No matter your profession, your lifestyle, or the 
way you choose to raise your kids, you are probably not spending as much time 
focusing on your own needs. You don’t have as much time each day for yourself, but 
even 5-10 minutes of self-care a day can make a big difference.
