How do you define self-care?
In the past few months self-care has been an emerging issue in our society, but how many of us can actually say we practice it, or know what it is? Self-care is taking the time to do something that caters to your physical, mental or emotional needs. Today’s entry is titled “What If” because I want you to ask yourself the question, “What if I practiced self-care every day? What If I catered to my physical, mental or emotional needs in some way on a daily basis"? Today, I encourage you to come up with your own definition of self-care. Challenge yourself to practice self-care in some way this week and assess how you feel afterwards. Self-care doesn’t have to be hard and will potentially look different for every person. Below are some simple ways to practice self-care:
Drink water
Say a daily affirmation
Workout (walk, run, bike)
Read
Take a bubble bath
Wear Sunscreen
Take a nap
Journal
Do a face mask
Deep condition your hair
Clean your ears
Do/Have something you enjoy
Self-care should ultimately be something that is rewarding to you personally. It does not have to be something complicated. Care for yourself in some way soon and see what a difference it makes in how you feel!
