Self-care is a term thrown around a lot these days, but what does it mean? It's not just about pampering yourself with a spa day or treating yourself to a fancy dinner (though those things are nice, too!).

It's like giving yourself a big ol' hug from the inside out! And let's be honest, it's not always easy—especially for men. There's this weird stigma around self-care like it's something only women do or that it's somehow selfish. But here's the thing: men need self-care just as much as anyone else, if not more. They face unique challenges and are often more susceptible to certain health risks. So, guys, it's time to break the stigma and embrace self-care like the bosses you are!
