SELF-CARE TIPS | 15 SELF-CARE PRACTISES FOR A HEALTHY MIND, BODY & SOUL

SELF-CARE TIPS | 15 SELF-CARE PRACTISES FOR A HEALTHY MIND, BODY & SOUL : Today I wanted to share with you some of my best self care tips. Self care is having a real moment, but what exactly is it? Below I discuss the origins, importance and impact of self care and give practical tips on how to bring it in to your life.

You spend all your time being nice to others, but there’s one person you probably tend to forget about: yourself. Practising self-care and self-love used to feel like a selfish act, but in today’s fast-paced, always-on world, it’s more than a luxury—it’s a necessity!

Self-care is not only about the one-off moments that you get to take care of your self, it is more of a daily practice. Not a practice of luxury bubble baths, but rather asking yourself each day, “what do I need right now?” and then following through. Here are some self-care ideas that can help relieve stress while you’re stuck at home.

Self-care is the act of honouring your needs, but sometimes it takes a bit of practice to know what your needs are. Try asking yourself:

• What is my body asking for right now?

• Is my mental health needing anything?

• How can I support my emotions right now?

• Is my spirit/soul craving anything?

Sometimes, our body is asking us to get moving, to do some yoga or go for a run. Other times, our body is asking for us to slow down and sleep a bit more.

Is our mind requiring more stimulation? Such as, learning a new skill or exploring who we are. Or is your mind wanting a break and an evening of mindless reality TV?

Are you needing to sit quietly with your emotions? Scrub the house as a way to release them? Or call a friend and cry?

Your needs are constantly changing each day. Self care is simply tuning into those needs

Without self care, it will be hard for you to function at your best. To prevent burnout and keep stress from taking over, you need to take the time to look after yourself. Besides, taking breaks to look after yourself will help you refocus especially when solving complicated problems.

Self-Care Tips at Home

One of the big ways we can care for ourselves at home is by caring for our space and our belongings. Keeping your home clean and de-cluttered can drastically alter your energy and day.

Have you ever noticed your energy level when your space is really messy? It’s usually a reflection of how you’re feeling internally. Even if all you have time for is to make your bed for the day, you will feel a sense of accomplishment.

Just because you’re not leaving the house doesn’t mean you can’t take care of yourself physically. It can actually be pretty fun to do it for yourself!

Taking care of your self-image – if this means dressing nicely for work even if you work from home. You can get all dolled up if you want. Letting go of feeling vain and accepting the little things that can make you feel pretty. Do this in a way that makes you feel good! (Not out of obligation.)

You can practice self-care with a powerful visualization practice each day. When showering, imagine that as the water is running down over you it is a white cleansing light erasing your day and old energy.

Self Care Ideas

Remember, these are just ideas. The way it becomes Self Care is when you ask yourself what you need and pick something that fulfils that need (even when it’s doing absolutely nothing).

Treat yourself like you’d treat your best friend

Would you tell your best friend how much you hate their thighs, or how you think they’re bad at their job? No way! So why are you constantly talking negatively about yourself? Stop those habits in their tracks and instead focus on the things you love about yourself, whether it’s physical or something about your character, says Melanie Lopes, a psychotherapist who specializes in anxiety and self-esteem issues in San Rafael, California. “Talk to yourself as you would talk to a friend or a child,” she says. You have to be your own number one fan, after all.

“Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”

Invest in yourself

If you believe you can do something, don’t wait for another second to start making it happen. Invest in yourself by signing up for that class, starting that business, or writing that book. Whatever it is, give yourself the chance to achieve it!

Get Proper Rest

It might be fun to stay up late watching movie after movie, but that’s not being kind to your body—not even a little bit. Getting enough sleep every night—which, according to the National Sleep Foundation, is seven to nine hours—will help you stay fueled and feeling your best.

Meditation

Meditation doesn’t just give you time to reflect and unwind—it’s also a really simple way to be nicer to yourself. According to Meditation experts,mindful meditation can help you let go of hurt past feelings, help you be more kind, and help you be more compassionate, both toward yourself and others.

Take Time to do what makes you happy

With such busy work and personal schedules, it can be hard to make time to do what truly lights you up and makes you happy. “Make a habit of treating yourself to some guilty pleasures,” says Damon Nailer, a life coach and motivational speaker in Louisiana. “Whatever you desire, indulge in it as often as possible.” It’s time to schedule yourself in just like you would someone who’s important to you!

Stop Trying to do it all

Sorry to break it to you, but superheroes are fictional. Going overboard by trying to do it all will only leave you totally drained. Instead, make a list of all the things you need to get done and choose the most important. Those other items can wait for another day.

Be patient with yourself

Sometimes when it doesn’t seem like you’re getting to the place you want to be fast enough, it’s easy to put yourself down or get angry. Rid yourself of that negativity by practising patience instead. You’ll get there, we promise, and boosting yourself up instead of putting yourself down will only help further your progress.

Practice Forgiveness

One of the most important thing in self-care tips is to practice forgiveness, whether it’s forgiving someone else or yourself, practising forgiveness will help you move on from things that might be hard to let go of. And once you do that, you’ll travel through life with ease you didn’t even know existed thanks to all those heavyweights being lifted off your chest.

Quite Taking everything so seriously

Life doesn’t always have to be so serious—allow yourself to have more fun in your life by letting go. Don’t be afraid to give yourself the chance to be more playful and relaxed.
