The self-care project
How to live mindfully and look after yourself
Practicing self-care isn’t always easy. Most of us are crazy busy, have stressful jobs, or are too consumed with technology to make time for ourselves. Me-time is usually last on the agenda. Worse, we can sometimes feel guilty about taking the time required to take care of ourselves. So getting started with self-care can be challenging. Why is it important? Self-care encourages you to maintain a healthy relationship with yourself so that you can transmit the good feelings to others. You cannot give to others what you don't have yourself. While some may misconstrue self-care as selfish, it's far from that. When you pay adequate attention to your well-being, you're not considering your needs alone. You're reinvigorating yourself so that you can be the best version of yourself for the people around you. Everyone around you also benefits from the renewed energy and joy you exhibit.
You Can Practice Self-Care Every Single Day:
- Drink some water first thing in the a.m.
- Write down five things every day that didn't totally suck.
- Make a menu for the week.
- Try that new yoga class.
- Take a new route to work.
- Move for at least 30 minutes a day.
- Get some sleep already.
- Start your day with something pleasant.
- Enjoy breakfast!
