In a fast-paced world with rare space for introspection and pause, self care seemed out of reach for many, myself included. Now with days on end to pause, breathe, and rest, I’m looking for ways to detach from the craziness around me in order to foster peace within myself.

Self-care is perhaps the best way to do this. Of course, self-care doesn’t always mean putting on a face mask (though social media often makes it seem that way). Self-care can be anything which allows us to slow down and get in touch with ourselves.

Whatever brings us rest, joy, inspiration — that is self-care. And if it happens to be a face mask, fantastic! If not, equally fantastic. Regardless of what method we choose or why, self-care has the power to keep us rooted, to make us the best possible versions of ourselves, and to restore and grow us so that we may be able to intentionally show up for those around us.

Below you’ll find a collection of encouraging and insightful quotes about self-care (as well as some on responding to difficulty in life with the grace and resilience which stems from self-care) to inspire you to embark on this journey of self-love:

“The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself.” -Steve Maraboli, author & speaker

“There is enough time for self-care. There is not enough time to make up for the life you’ll miss by not filling yourself up.” -Jennifer Williamson, American politician
