Self-Care
There are several facets to
life.
Society, work, family, and, of course, ourselves demand attention and
care.
But many of us dedicate more
time to society and work than we do to our family and self. Some people don't
even acknowledge that they need care!
Many people get this wrong
because they're looking at how society is structured, thinking to themselves
that they're the least significant part of the whole puzzle.
They think carrying out your
duties, like going to work and even working overtime, taking care of the kids, pets, and house chores, and virtually pleasing everyone else, is more important than
self-care.
This is not healthy. It is not
right. It isn’t even helpful.
Taking Care of Ourselves Allows Us to Better Take
Care of Everyone Else
When we care for ourselves, we place ourselves in a better position to manage all other demands of everyday life.
When we are cheerful and
energetic, we can take care of the kids and pets in a loving way. We can take
greater care when doing the house chores and pay better attention at work. The
result of all these would be happier homes and higher productivity at work.
In essence, by nourishing
yourself first, you set up your life to flourish in beautiful ways.
You have to see yourself as the
greatest asset you have, not time or money. When you take good care of
yourself, time and money will be taken care of.
You remain consistent with
whatever set of practices you’ve picked that best suits you.
What you would discover when
you take your self-care seriously is that your energy levels spike, your health
improves, your happiness is fuller, and even your work ethic and productivity
will dramatically improve as well.
Different Self-Care Practices Improve Your Everyday
Life
1. Getting Enough Sleep
2. Exercising Regularly
3. Finding Ways to Relax
4. Getting Outside for Some Vitamin D
5. Keeping Your Body Properly Hydrated
6. Turning off the Screens Once in a While
7. Getting Away from Negative People &
Situations
You don't need to spend money, get a subscription,
or invest anything but your commitment to yourself!
The interesting thing about
self-care is that it can be entirely free, healthy, and feel
good.
You don’t have to sign up for
any program or buy any product to start practising self-care. Though you can always
join programs or invest some money to improve your experience, especially when
you’ve discovered just how worthwhile and important it is.
You don’t have to be a robot,
working every waking hour. Feeling grumpy, lethargic, cranky, frazzled, and
miserable doesn't have to be part of your everyday.
You are worthy of care and love. Treat yourself. Remember that a flower needs nursing; so, do you!
You've got to nourish to flourish.
