There is a connection between “self-pampering,” “self-care,” or “self-time,” and its ability to buffer against depression, stress, anxiety, and burnout. This is true for women and men. Investing in yourself helps you feel and perform better in work and non-work aspects of life. Some research also shows an increase in income attached to those who invest in themselves through “pampering” or “grooming” activities.
