Is there a thing as too much self-care?

It doesn't exist in such absolute terms of “one or the other”. Of course, it's important that you take care to put on the proverbial oxygen mask, but that doesn't mean you should take refuge in yourself and disconnect from the world around you. On its own, spending time on self-care can be transformative. However, in an era where people are busier than ever, self-care consumes more of our limited time, which can lead to greater stress and feelings of anxiety.
