We focus on things to improve on and how to do it. One of the things we do is set goals for myself. One of the goals I’ve had for myself over the last few months is self care.
Self care helps control our mental, emotional and physical health. It’s often something overlooked. I admit, I definitely wasn’t worried about it before I started working with Morgan. Self care can be different for everyone. For me, I’m a big music person, so normally when I’ve taking 20-30 minutes “for me” I am jamming some music and just letting go of everything that’s on my mind at the time. Or sitting in the quiet and just closing my eyes. Let go of everything around you. During a stressful time just taking a step back and breathing helps tremendously.
I get overwhelmed EASILY. It’s something I have noticed more as an adult than I ever have. Taking 20-30 minutes every few hours out of my day to “turn off” life and just breath, relax and unwind helps me tremendously. I wear my heart of my sleeve and a lot of things bother me that I can hold on to that until it emotionally makes me ill. Since I have started self care for myself, I can let go of things a lot easier.
Self care is different for everyone! What works for me may not be enough for you. It could be physical exercise, writing, meditation, cooking, reading, driving, etc. Find what’s best for you. Care for yourself. Taking a care of me has helped a lot. Does it fix everything in life and make it perfect? No. But it makes things a lot easier!
Don’t run yourself ragged. If you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t care for others. Remember there is always someone who needs you in their life. For me, my son and my husband are the two most important people.
