Do you take care of yourself?

It’s so important to make sure you take good care of your body, mind, and soul every day, not just when you get sick.

What is self care?

It describes a conscious act one takes in order to promote their own physical, mental, and emotional health. There are many forms self-care may take. It could be ensuring you get enough sleep every night or stepping outside for a few minutes for some fresh air, giving yourself attention and more.

Why Do We Often Fail at caring for ourselves?

Practicing it isn’t always easy. Most of us are crazy busy, have stressful jobs, or are too consumed with technology to make time for ourselves. Me-time is usually last on the agenda. Worse, we can sometimes feel guilty about taking the time required to commit to ourselves.

Unfortunately, however, many people view it as a luxury, rather than a priority. Consequently, they’re left feeling overwhelmed, tired, and ill-equipped to handle life’s inevitable challenges.

Which types of self care we should look after before we feel drained already?

  1. Physical self care:   The body is our vessel, it is our temple that must be nourished and listened to, as it has a strong voice to tell us our emotional state. The strong connection of body and mind is well known and how we feel in our body can’t be separated from any other level, it all goes hand in hand.

    When your caring for your body, you’ll think and feel better too.

    Physical self-care includes how you’re fueling your body, which food do you eat? (read here more tips)

    How much physical activity you are doing, and how well you’re caring for your physical needs?

2. Social self care :

      Socialization is key to connection. But, often, it’s hard to make time for friends and it’s easy to neglect your relationships when life gets busy.

       Close connections are important to your well-being. The best way to cultivate and maintain close relationships is to put time and energy               into building your relationships with others

  • What are you doing to nurture your relationships with friends and family?

3. Mental self care:

     The way you think and the things that you’re filling your mind with greatly influence your psychological well-being.

      Mental attention includes doing things that keep your mind sharp, like puzzles, or learning about a subject that fascinates you. You might        find reading books or watching movies that inspire you fuels your mind.4

    It can also involves doing things that help you stay mentally healthy. Practicing self-compassion and acceptance, for example,               helps you maintain a healthier inner dialogue.

    4. Spiritual self care: 

    Nurturing your spirit, however, doesn’t have to involve religion. It can involve anything that helps you develop a deeper sense of meaning,          understanding, or connection with the universe.

      Whether you enjoy meditation, attending a religious service, or praying, spiritual connection is important.

   5. Emotional self care:

It’s important to have healthy coping skills to deal with any kind of emotions, as they are messengers to us. Emotional self-care may include activities that help you acknowledge and express your feelings on a regular basis.

Whether you talk to a partner or close friend about how you feel, or you set aside time for leisure activities that help you process your emotions, it’s important to incorporate emotional self-care into your life.   Never ignore or suppress your feelings, get curious about what they tell you and share if you need, reflect and grow from it.   Emotions are energy in motion, when they are stuck in the body , it can cause diseases…
