25 Self-Care Quotes That Will Leave You Inspired

The Allayya Team, July 11, 2022

Self-care and meditation library for women

We constantly hear that we should take care of ourselves and make self-care a part of our daily routine. We get it. But let's face it: when we're pressed for time making school lunches, working a full-time job, and trying to keep up with the laundry, self-care is the last thing on our minds. Yet, those times when we feel that we're unable to take a single minute for ourselves are probably the times when we need self-care the most.

 

Taking time to slow down and look after your own needs is what allows you to recharge physically and mentally, and show up as your best self for those who are counting on you. For those moments when self-care seems like another chore on your to-do list and you need some extra motivation to get into those workout leggings, we've rounded up some of Team Allayya's favorite self-care quotes. These 25 quotes will remind you how important caring for yourself is, and inspire you to take that much-needed and well-deserved me-time.
