Personally I think it should be more like:

when you're feeling sad or overwhelmed, taking the time for YOURSELF should be as normal as going to the gym when you're getting overweight and rundown.

I personally believe we are putting mental health on a pedestal. Yes, it's extremely important to be aware of and to learn to mitigate in your own life but your mental health is as important as your physical health and that's a self-care thing that people need to learn from a young age to implement for themselves.

I really don't believe counselling and therapy should be the first line of defense or the first thing people think of when feeling 'overwhelmed or sad' at points in their life.

Feeling that way at times is a normal aspect of life that everyone experiences and passing on what I believe should be 'self-care' to someone else is like getting a personal trainer at the gym. They can't physically make you move and change, they are just there to guide you along the process and know how to do it better but it's still all the effort you put into it and if you think someone else can fix your problems in life then you're only holding yourself back.

I really don't think a majority of people need counselling, it should only be for the more drastic of situations, and yes, we have A LOT of drastic situations in our modern day society, but with my vision of the world with #Optimized human beings, growing up and understanding how to optimize their minds and bodies from a young age, I believe many would laugh at this poster because it's basically saying that when you 'experience life' (life is as much overwhelming and sad as it is happy and joyous) you need therapy and counselling.....
