Why It’s Hard to Invest In Self-Care
When I decided to invest in my first wellness course, the $500 price tag nearly scared me away. That seemed like a lot of money, especially for an online course. That $500 felt huge.
A few months later, though, I dropped $500 on cheap clothes at Kohl’s. That $500 felt like nothing.
We’re so willing to spend money on quick fixes like shopping sprees and nights out, but we often struggle to invest in self-care. Here’s how you can get past your mindset blocks about wellness and why you should start investing in self-care.
WHAT DOES MONEY HAVE TO DO WITH WELLNESS?

For most adults, money (and not having enough of it) is the biggest stressor in their lives. Over half of the adults in the US live paycheck to paycheck, and the average American has over $90k in debt. (Unfortunately, those statistics are pretty common across the western world..))
Between many jobs not paying enough, education costing too much, and all the little expenses that rack up in our day-to-day lives, it’s no wonder money adds so much stress to our plates. It’s an ever-present worry.
