Many people operate in constant “doing mode” - prioritising performance, responsibility, and the needs of others while ignoring their own physical and emotional signals. Especially working in the profession you are focusing on serving and supporting patients, and can neglect your own self-care . Over time, this can lead to fatigue, stress, and disconnection from what they actually need to function well.
Rather than treating self-care as something extra or indulgent, February reframes it as a foundational skill for resilience, focus, and emotional wellbeing. At its core, this month is about learning to respond to stress with kindness instead of criticism, and intention instead of autopilot.
