Sayani Gupta believes in the power of self-care

Mental health is finally getting the attention it deserves. The past year has taught us all the importance of focusing on mental health. And now, more than ever, it is crucial to ensure that one doesn’t take their mental state for granted. Bollywood celebs, too, have increasingly spoken about mental health and how it is important to focus on one’s happiness.Sayani Gupta recently shared a post on how it was essential to take the effort to do small things for yourself.

In a post on social media, she wrote, “Took this (selfie) for my friend Mini Mathur today cause chatting with her today, suddenly made me feel like.. taking some effort... for myself.. so put on my Turkish earrings and lipstick... this was right before a meeting. Despite what it might look like on Instagram, I am not someone who takes great care. I don't have a routine etc. I never comb my hair, forget to put sunscreen on most days. Although sweating at this point, I felt good in this moment. Felt joy.”
She added, “We are all feeling a lot of things right now. I am mostly irritated, angry at things. From everything that's happening around... for a while. But sometimes, it helps picking myself up and doing something just for me. Taking care of oneself. Even if it means putting some moisturizer. Don't know why I am writing all this. But may be for all of you, once in a while.. if you do something.. just for you.. whatever it could be... Not to do with looks or physicality.. but just anything.. from dusting to cleaning the fan (I did that last week) to painting. I feel doing things just for yourself sometimes, heals you slightly."
