Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele, has admonished women on the need to take care of themselves, while pouring into others.

The box office queen via her Instagram page, revealed that she has learnt the importance of self-care over the years— from resting to praying, spending time at the spa, in addition to prioritizing her physical, mental and spiritual health.

Akindele acknowledged the efforts of women, however, she maintained that it is important for them to also prioritize themselves, show kindness, and take care of themselves no matter how little.

She wrote:
"Self-Care Saturday!!!!!!
Over time, I’ve learned that taking care of yourself is not selfish; it’s necessary. From resting, praying, and spending time at the spa or salon to taking care of my mental, physical, and spiritual health, I’ve learned to prioritise myself, too.

As women, we pour so much into others, but you can’t pour from an empty cup. Fill yourself up too. Love yourself. Be kind to yourself. Take care of yourself in the little ways you can.

Self-care doesn’t always have to be expensive. Sometimes it’s simply resting, sleeping, praying, taking a walk, or giving yourself peace of mind.

What are you doing for yourself this weekend?."
