While it’s very important to take care of yourself, a new survey finds that most people just don’t do it and the main reason may shock you.
A poll by Massage Envy finds that 80% of people say they wish they had more time for self-care, although 62% of people actually feel guilty taking care of themselves. Overall 52% of people say time is the main reason they don’t practice self-care, with a quarter of folks saying they practice self-care less than once a week.
But when folks do take care of themselves, what are they doing? Well, the most popular form of self-care is exercising (56%), followed by napping or sleeping (40%). Other popular forms of self-care include:
- Time alone (38%)
- Bath (38%)
- Stretch/yoga (36%)
- Meditation (36%)
- Massage (36%)
- Relaxing meal/drink (34%)
- At home skin care (33%)
- Reading (30%)
