There are many reasons we can talk about why we fail to take care of ourselves. One is we became too busy to reach our goal, another is we don't think it's necessary. Also, it's true that society doesn't always make us believe or give time to take self-care.
Whatever the reason is, it doesn't mean we have to avoid self-care. Rather we should give more time for self-care the more chaotic the world becomes.
Let's see how!
- Show self-kindness.
Don't always blame yourself, even if you are. Don't use any self-harm method to punish for your mistakes. Always try to be kind and gentle when you self-talk or think about yourself. Because this is what will reflect in your life.
- Physical and mental wellbeing.
Take care of your body and mind. Make some time for exercise, meditate, think about life, connect with your inner self. Make at least a few minutes every single day to do this.
- Connect with your inner self.
Don't be an enemy of your own self. Befriend yourself, talk with yourself, practice positivity, make a connection with your inner self.
If you are not used to any of this, you may find it difficult to make all these happen. Start with a simple task like making some time for your own, have a coffee and think about what you are doing in life, what will make it more meaningful ie. Gradually you will feel a connection with yourself and this is what will lead you to take more self-care.
Remember, self-care is one basic thing that makes us happy and increases our wellbeing. So prioritize it and make it happen!
