SELF-CARE is to maintain a healthy relationship with yourself. It means doing things to take care of your MIND, BODY and SOUL by engaging in activities that promote your well being and reduces stress.
SELF-CARE = SELF LOVE
The practice of self-care is a reminder that you are worth it! and that your needs are valid.
They are 7 types of self-care:
MENTAL: Mental self-care is about nurturing a healthy mindset through mindfulness and curiosity. You can do this through journaling, meditation, create a vision board, practice gratitude, take a break from TV and social media..
EMOTIONAL: Emotional self-care involves taking care of your heart with healthy coping strategies for any stresses that might occur in your daily life. watch your favorite movie, listen to music , write a positive affirmation to yourself and do not hesitate to ask others for help when you need. Set boundaries to protect yourself and heart.
PHYSICAL: Physical self-care involves taking care of your body with rest, nutrition and movement. Eat balanced meals at regular time, drink plenty of water, take a multi vitamin and make sure you get plenty of rest. Taking care of your skin is self-care, when your skin looks good you feel more confident and ready to conquer the world!! ;))
ENVIRONMENTAL: to practice environmental self-care is to take care of the place around you and the places you love. Make your bedroom peaceful, declutter, re-organize your closet or kitchen cabinet. Take a walk in nature and fully appreciate the moment.
