What is self-care? any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health.
Join me as I discuss and give some helpful tips to restoring your energy!
Self Care Checklist:
§ Create a “no” list, with things you know you don’t like or you no longer want to do. Examples might include: Not checking emails at night, not attending gatherings you don’t like, not answering your phone during lunch/dinner.
§ Promote a nutritious, healthy diet.
§ Get enough sleep. Adults usually need 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
§ Exercise. In contrast to what many people think, exercise is as good for our emotional health as it is for our physical health. It increases serotonin levels, leading to improved mood and energy. In line with the self-care conditions, what’s important is that you choose a form of exercise that you like!
§ Follow-up with medical care. It is not unusual to put off checkups or visits to the doctor.
§ Use relaxation exercises and/or practice meditation. You can do these exercises at any time of the day.
§ Spend enough time with your loved ones.
§ Do at least one relaxing activity every day, whether it’s taking a walk or spending 30 minutes unwinding.
§ Do at least one pleasurable activity every day; from going to the cinema, to cooking or meeting with friends.
§ Look for opportunities to laugh!
