Belle Mariano Breaks Her Silence on Self-Care
BELLE MARIANO – Actress Belle Mariano is opening up like never before as she explains why self-care should never be mistaken for selfishness.
Belle Mariano recently shared her heartfelt thoughts on the value of self-care, making it clear that personal well-being is something people should never feel guilty about. The young actress highlighted that she firmly believes “self-care isn’t selfish”—a mantra she has embraced in both her personal life and professional career.
According to Belle, many individuals still struggle with the idea of taking time for themselves because of the misconception that doing so is an act of selfishness. She explained that this mindset often discourages people from prioritising their own needs, even when rest and personal space are necessary.
During an exclusive interview at Sanicare’s Hygiene Hangout event, Belle discussed how she navigates the demands of her hectic schedule and why maintaining her mental and emotional well-being is crucial. She shared that practising self-care enables her to perform better, stay grounded, and maintain a sense of balance despite the pressures of 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 added that this mindset has become a core part of how she lives each day. “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 admitted that there are moments when her workload becomes overwhelming, and stepping away temporarily becomes necessary for her well-being. “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 shared.
For Belle, self-care can be as simple as taking a break, spending time with loved ones, or disconnecting from online pressure. She believes this practice not only strengthens her but also enhances how she interacts with others. As she put it, “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.”
