Empowering Women to Prioritize Their Health and Well-Being
Many women experience feelings of fear, shame, and guilt when attempting to dedicate time to their own needs. Allocating even 1 to 2 hours for self-care often seems impossible and selfish.
The Reality of Breast Cancer and Self-Neglect
Breast cancer, the most common cancer among women, sometimes underscores the severity of self-neglect. Astonishingly, many women, even after enduring intense breast cancer treatments, claim they lack the time to participate in breast care and rehabilitation programs. They cite reasons such as children’s exams and family cooking duties—reasons that may seem trivial in comparison to their health needs.
This mindset is alarming. These women, who have faced life-threatening illness, still believe their families cannot function without them. They fail to realize that their absence, due to severe illness or worse, could lead to significant disruptions.
Challenging Deep-Seated Conditioning
This phenomenon highlights the profound conditioning many women undergo, which compels them to prioritize others over themselves. This self-sacrifice is ingrained, making it difficult for them to put their health first.

The Need for Courage and Change
“Sahasi” means courageous. It requires immense courage to break free from this conditioning and prioritize self-care. A healthy and happy woman can support her family, friends, and community more effectively and compassionately.

It’s so true. Even after life threatening illness , I found the women sticking to old ways of taking care of others’ need above their own. ‘spouse is more stressed at work so I should be able to do kitchen work’ OR ‘do my chemotherapy sessions on my own because he doesn’t have time from work ‘ . Shakes me as a clinical Hypnotherapist and tells me how much work is left to be done with women as a woman.
