Rakhi Butani Urges Focus on Mindful Self-Care Through Skincare, Cooking, and Astrology
Wellness Advocate Shares Personal Story to Inspire Others to Explore New Passions for Mental and Emotional Health
MATAWAN, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2025 /Rakhi Butani, featured this week in a widely-read business spotlight titled "Rakhi Butani: Skincare, Stars, and Spices-A Life in Balance", is calling for greater awareness around the importance of mindful self-care through creative outlets like skincare, cooking, and astrology.
"People think of self-care as something superficial," Butani said in her interview. "But for me, skincare is a way to stay grounded, cooking connects me to my heritage, and astrology challenges me to keep learning. It 's about emotional balance and personal growth."
Butani, a lifelong learner and community volunteer, uses her free time to explore these passions and now encourages others to do the same-especially during times of high stress.
Self-Care Is More Than a Trend-It 's a Health Necessity
According to the American Psychological Association, more than 77% of people report experiencing physical symptoms from stress. Meanwhile, a 2024 study by Global Wellness Institute shows that people who regularly practice hobbies such as cooking, skincare, or meditation report up to 40% lower anxiety levels.
"These simple activities help people slow down, refocus, and recharge," Butani said. "Skincare isn 't just about beauty. It 's about understanding your body 's needs. Cooking connects us to family, memories, and culture. Astrology, for me, sharpens patience and self-awareness."
Butani 's personal story includes learning Vedic astrology through formal courses, experimenting with cooking classes to master dishes like Sindhi curries and Thai street food, and her deep dive into skincare ingredients from brands across the globe.
"Every time I try a new recipe or study a birth chart, I 'm giving my mind something positive to focus on," she said. "It reminds me that life is always evolving, just like we are."
A Call for Personal Exploration and Community Connection
Butani is also encouraging others to take small steps toward their own creative or self-care outlets-not just for personal gain but also to strengthen community ties.
"It 's not about spending a fortune or becoming an expert overnight," she noted. "It 's about starting with curiosity and making space for joy in your daily routine."
She also points to volunteering as another way to expand personal wellness. Butani volunteers with NJ Special Olympics and Lasagna Love, preparing meals for families in need.
"When you give your time or share your skills, it makes everything feel more connected," she said. "That 's a huge part of feeling well, too."
How You Can Start Your Own Self-Care Journey
Rakhi Butani offers these simple, actionable tips:
Start small. Try a new recipe, a basic astrology book, or a beginner-friendly skincare product.
Stay curious. Focus on why something interests you, not just the result.
Share what you learn. Teach a friend a recipe or exchange skincare tips.
Volunteer your time. Acts of service are a powerful way to feel connected.
"I 'm not asking anyone to change their life overnight," Butani says. "But take that first step-whether it 's learning your birth chart or making a dish from your culture. That 's where the magic starts."
