SAN RAMON, Calif., Dec. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Self-care is a
much-discussed topic that's come to be known as a hallmark of the
millennial generation. But what's so newsworthy about what could be
described simply as a little "me time"? Some criticize young adults
as too selfishly focused on themselves, but burnout is a real
phenomenon that can occur from taking too little care of oneself
emotionally and physically, not to mention other ailments and
diseases that may be caused or exacerbated by stress. Whatever the
current popular opinion is, self-care seems like it's here to stay,
and the folks at the Financial Education Benefits Center don't
think that's a bad thing. FEBC will be rolling out new benefits
that help members of all ages and walks of life engage in some
valuable self-care.
Self-care may be just a trend, or it could be a real social
movement. Whichever the case, experts are recommending self-care as
a necessary component of wellness, including psychological
wellness. While eating right and exercising are important for
physical health, maintaining emotional health can be just as
integral to a healthy lifestyle. For example, psychologist
Guy Winch is a proponent of
"emotional first aid," or a regimen of actions every person can
take to effectively tend to psychological wounds and help create
long-term psychological well-being. FEBC will be offering a
counseling benefit to members to help address this need. With the
benefit, eligible FEBC members will be able to easily access
licensed counselors by calling a number and receiving on-the-phone
counseling. This service will be at no additional cost to eligible
members.
"Self-care is definitely becoming a key part of any healthy
lifestyle, both mentally and physically, and we are excited about
pitching in," said Jennifer
Martinez, manager at FEBC. "FEBC is going to be offering
these benefits that just make self-care simpler."
If you live a busy and full life, however, self-care may seem
anything but simple. Between working and caring for a family,
squeezing in a few moments to even acknowledge necessary
psychological and physical health needs might prove difficult.
However, it's especially important to do so during the holidays,
which might be a flurry of presents and parties; not to mention the
pressure to create that signature holiday "magic." So enlisting
someone to help might be the best way for a person to even
get a moment to practice self-care. FEBC aims to address
this issue by offering an upcoming benefit concerned with work-life
balance, offering resources and coordinating help for taking care
of a household, children, elders and more.
"Self-care shouldn't be a luxury, but a fundamental part of
life," said Martinez. "However, we realize that's not the case for
everyone. We know that responsibilities can pile up and taking time
for yourself may be hard. But these benefits that we are bringing
to FEBC members are meant to take away some of the barriers to
self-care."
