It is surprising how many of us ignore these basic needs for our physical and mental health. There are many self-care practices that we sometimes neglect. These are the basics needs we should be doing for ourselves everyday.
Below are some and items I will be working on for myself. At the bottom of this post are more links for you to find ways to work on your own self-care.
Emotional self-care is being able to identify, understand, and care for our emotions, plus being able to cope with life stresses.
-Stop Being a people pleaser
-Stop Apologizing for things I didn't do
diet, getting enough solid sleep, regular health check ups, not getting too much sun exposure, and good hygiene.
-Incorporate exercise into my daily life, and make it a routine.
-Drink lots of water, and cut out sodas.
-Reduce the amount of processed foods in my diet.
-Get more good solid sleep at least seven hours a night.
-Create a stretching routine every day.
Supporting your health with these consistent practices has been correlated with increased longevity of your life.
Mental self-care is learning to manage my thoughts, seek help when needed, engaging my brain and setting clear boundaries. It is a balance of mind, body and soul.
-Seeing a therapist and setting boundaries is one of my top goals for this year.
