The importance of taking time for ourselves

Here I tell you a little story that I also decided to share, because it really impacted me and I would like to know if it impacts you too. It's about Ana, a woman who always took care of everyone around her, but ended up forgetting herself.

One night, exhausted after a long day, she sat on the couch and realized she was at her limit. During a conversation with a friend, she heard a phrase that made her reflect: “You can’t take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself first.”

At that moment, Ana decided to change. The next day, when he woke up, he made some hot tea and went out into the backyard. With the sun shining and the wind gentle, she took a deep breath and allowed herself to relax. Those minutes became a refuge amidst the chaos.

Over time, Ana began to reserve small moments of self-care in her routine, feeling lighter and more present for her family. By taking care of herself, she discovered that she was actually taking better care of those she loved.

Today, Ana shares her story with everyone, reminding them: “Take time for yourself. It is in this space that well-being begins.” At Useful, we believe that taking care of yourself is essential. Have you found your moment today?
