In a world that’s constantly trying to make life more comfortable, is self-care actually selfish?

Kenna Millea challenges that idea, showing that self-care isn’t selfish at all, it’s something God desires for us. While it can sometimes be mistaken for pride, she explains that true self-care is actually an antidote to pride. It humbles us, reminding us that we have limits and need to care for ourselves well. But that care isn’t meant to turn us inward. When practiced correctly, it equips us to give ourselves more fully to others.
