Cadena SER Journalist Advocates for Self-Care and Setting Boundaries

In a recent video interview with El País, Aida Bao, a journalist from Cadena SER, discussed the increasing importance of self-care and setting personal boundaries. Bao argues that as we age, time becomes more valuable, making it crucial to prioritize activities that align with our well-being. She illustrates this by sharing a personal experience of declining an invitation to an event, explaining, "The dates coincided with our planned trip to Cádiz, and ultimately, we chose to explain our unavailability honestly." This decision, she explains, reflects a growing awareness of the need to prioritize personal needs. The video highlights the importance of self-respect and the understanding that declining commitments doesn't necessarily mean being inconsiderate. It emphasizes that prioritizing self-care is not selfish but a necessary aspect of maintaining a balanced and fulfilling life. Bao’s insights resonate with many, promoting a healthier approach to personal boundaries and self-care.
