It's so common to leave selfcare activities for special occasions or for when you think you "deserve it". Why is this wrong?

So what is self-care?Self-care refers to activities and practices that can help you to reduce your stress and enhance your overall well-being: essentially, proactively taking care of yourself. 
And how can you practice self-care?
There are lots of ways. What works for you may not work for someone else. The important thing is to make self-care a priority in your schedule. This could mean blocking off time to workout or spending some time unplugged from technology once in awhile. A few examples of self-care activities could be:
Napping during the day (power napps), practicing yoga, meditation, walks in nature, reading valuable books, journaling, doing a sport activity you enjoy, knitting or doing a hobby, taking a massage...
It really is important to find what works for you and making it part of your daily routine.
