Each time the topic about self care pops in my head, I often feel it's all about candle lights, rose petals, and bubble bath. Well there's is nothing wrong in this idea, but as I grow older I like to think of self care with a more complete approach.
Taking care of oneself involves more than just polishing ones nail, self care is a deliberate action we take to take care of our mental, physical, spiritual social and emotional needs.
Here are my top ten self care list
1; READ A SELF IMPROVEMENT BOOK: image u are reading this post now because you are interested in taking better care of yourself.
Take a steps further by reading a book. I am presently reading "THE SMART MONEY WOMAN"
2:UNFOLLOW NEGATIVE PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA: these include negative comment, and post that makes You feel bad abound yourself.
3; PLAN A DATE WITH A FRIEND:
Make plans to see someone you enjoy spending time with, if they stay far away try video call.
*Time out with friends"
4: LEARN SOMETHING NEW;
To keep your mind alert and your spiritually engage try learning something new. You can learn them online
5: WRITE DOWN FIVE THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF:may people don't think lovely or kindly to themselves, these simple tasks will serve as a reminder.
6; WATCH SHOWS THAT ARE HUMOROUS AND that LEAVES YOU FEELING REFRESHED AND RELIEVED.
7; TRY MAINTAINING A REGULAR SLEEP ROUTINE: sleep is very important for our overall health and happiness.
8:TRY OUT NEW RECIPES:if you ike cooking you can try this out and enjoy good meal
9:STAY HYDRATED: taking 8 glasses of water each day helps you stay relaxed and your skin will thank you.
10:TAKE OUT TIME TO LOOK EXTRA BEAUTIFUL: looking good makes you feel good, go make your hair, apply some makeup, dress and smell nice.
So this is it my idea of self-care, while doing any of the above remind yourself that you are not being selfish.
Practicing self care makes you feel stronger and happier and is a healthy act to showing yourself compassion and love.
LET ME KNOW WHICH OF THIS IDEAS YOU WOULD BE TRYING AND WHICH ONE YOU HAVE TRIED BEFORE.
