The Powerful Self-Care Lesson Belle Mariano Wants Everyone to Hear
BELLE MARIANO – Actress Belle Mariano is setting the record straight on self-care, urging everyone to stop feeling guilty for taking time for themselves.
Belle Mariano has opened up about her views on self-care, emphasising how essential it is and reminding everyone that taking care of oneself should never be seen as something negative. The actress reiterated her belief that “self-care isn’t selfish,” a principle she consistently follows both on and off the camera.
She pointed out that many people hesitate to prioritise their own well-being because they assume that doing so makes them selfish. Belle noted that this misconception often prevents individuals from giving themselves the time and space needed to rest and recharge.
In her exclusive conversation during Sanicare’s Hygiene Hangout event, Belle reflected on how she manages her demanding career and why nurturing her emotional and mental health is a top priority. She explained that dedicating time to self-care helps her stay focused, balanced, and capable of giving her best despite the challenges that come with her work.
“Self-care for me is really important because that’s where you get your energy to present yourself to the world, right? This just goes for sa lahat, satin na in order for us to show and appear our best version out there, you have to take that time talaga to make sure that you are the best,” she explained.
Belle shared that this approach guides her daily routine and keeps her grounded. “I live by the mantra na self-care is not selfish and I think ayun yung misconception na naiisip ng iba na if we take care of ourselves na selfish na agad.”
The actress also revealed that her schedule can sometimes feel overwhelming, making it necessary for her to step back and breathe. “I apply it as much as I can… I really need to take that step back and just remind myself talaga na, ‘Okay, self-care isn’t selfish. This is okay. It’s okay. I’m taking a day off on social media,’” she said.
For Belle, self-care doesn’t have to be grand—it can be as simple as pausing for a moment, enjoying time with friends, or unplugging from social media. She believes that the more you care for yourself, the more positively it reflects in your relationships. As she expressed, “Kung maganda yung trato mo sa sarili mo, mas maganda yung pagtrato mo sa iba… to all the more you love yourself all the more you have the energy to love the people more.”
