Self Care
One could arguably suggest that self-care is a form of health care for anyone between the ages of 16 - 40 years of age. So many people are feeling the emotional wear and tear of living post pandemic that it has become extremely taxing for people to regain social confidence. Creating a new normal can be a struggle. Breaking old habits can be difficult.
It’s important to take time and enjoy your life. Identify what makes you happy, relaxed, and helps you stay mentally organized. Selfcare has become a major buzz word. But, some people play down the importance of what it can provide. Essential balance is necessary for human beings to remain sustainable. In other words, in order to get the most out of your life, figure out a way to optimize your ability to function 365 days a year with the least amount of stress and physical wear and tear as possible.
Build a new routine and reinvent yourself. Participate in doing things that make you happy. Discover something outside your comfort zone. Read something new once a day. Stay positive by focusing on short term and long term solutions to issues that arise (because they will). Don’t avoid clarity, if you need answers.
The real challenge with obtaining selfcare is ignoring that it’s needed in order for you to survive. Seek a professional, ask questions. There may be forms of selfcare that don’t involve a latte, fresh manicure, or a gym membership to keep you in balance with your best self. Learn to love yourself and never overlook you’re resources.
