Self Care is Important to Your Well-being

I don’t think I have to tell you that self care is important to your health and overall well-being? But, just in case you are like me, and feel like you must always be doing something and being productive (like writing this article instead of doing my own self care right now!), and need to be reminded to slow down, take time off and stop neglecting yourself, here it goes:

Stop what you are doing right now and prioritize self-care!

Take a moment to breath that in and visualize what that would feel and look like for you.

Where in your life have you been neglecting yourself? Where do you feel depleted? Feel into your body. Where do you feel tightness, pain, tension, unease, dis-ease?

Take another moment and feel into those spaces of tension, and ask yourself, what would feel good to do right now? Stretch? Get up a take a short walk? Take time to breath deeply? Drink some water? Open the window and let in some fresh air?

Where could you add a bit more self-care into your everyday?

Creating a Daily Self-Care Practice

I like to create a daily self-care practice for myself every morning. This is because it is the time when I will most likely stick to my routine and it also sets the precedent for the rest of the day. But you can take time out any time during the day, even if it for only 5 minutes, and give yourself the rejuvenating nourishment of self care. This is especially important if you sit at a desk all day or have a sedentary life.

Create a Time for Yourself

Below I have added a list of 45 Daily Self Care Tips that you can use, or to help inspire you to create your own. You don’t have to do everything on the list (obs!), but pick just one, or a few that you feel inspired to do each day, as a regular routine. Remember that you can swap out or add on new activities that may be more rejuvenating for you at any time.

Pick a time of day where you will schedule in your sensual self care daily practice “me time” and give yourself 20 minutes (at least) to 1 hour to recharge. You can also schedule in 5-20 minute breaks during the day to add in other self care activities as well throughout your day.

Try this for at least one week and see if you feel a difference.

Believe me, your are worth it, and so is your well-being. Because if you are not going to take care of yourself, who will?

What is Self Care?

Self care is anything you do that makes you feel good and nourishes you. Self-care is the act of engaging in strategies that promote our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual functioning and enhanced well-being.

Prioritizing self-care can help you relax more, manage chronic stress easier, prevent health issues, revitalize you, and make you feel good inside and out.

“When self-care is regularly practiced, the benefits are broad and have even been linked to positive health outcomes such as reduced stress, improved immune system, increased productivity, and higher self-esteem.”–https://www.everydayhealth.com/self-care/
