If you're like most people, you're probably pretty good at taking care of yourself. You might even be the kind of person who goes out of their way to make sure your needs are met and you feel good about yourself.
But there are some barriers to self-care that could impact your finances in a big way. Here are eight ways to make sure you're taking care of yourself and your finances:
1. You don't know what's best for YOU
2. You don't take care of your body or mind by getting enough sleep or exercise, etc., which can lead to financial problems down the line (sleep deprivation makes us more likely to make mistakes)
3. You spend money on things that aren't making you happy (like alcohol)
4. You don't have a routine for eating healthy meals and snacks, or working out regularly.
5. You don't have a plan for managing your money or paying down debt, so you're constantly struggling with bills or feeling overwhelmed by how much money is coming in versus going out.
6. You're not taking care of yourself physically because you've got too much on your plate at once (like work and family obligations).
7. You don't have time to do things that make you feel good--like going on vacation or taking a few days off from work every once in awhile!
8. You've got way too much on your plate as it is--so why add more stressors into the mix by trying to take care of yourself when there's so much else going on?
