Prioritize selfcare and prioritize self-compassion from "summary" of The Healthy Mind Toolkit by Alice Boyes,PhD
Taking care of yourself should be at the top of your priority list. This means making time for activities that nourish your mind, body, and soul. It's all too easy to neglect ourselves in the hustle and bustle of daily life, but doing so can lead to burnout and overwhelm. By making self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine, you are investing in your overall well-being and increasing your resilience to stress. Self-compassion is another essential component of a healthy mind. This involves treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend in need. It's about acknowledging your imperfections and shortcomings without judgment, and recognizing that you are deserving of love and forgiveness, just like everyone else. When you prioritize self-compassion, you create a more supportive inner dialogue that can help you navigate challenges with greater ease. Instead of berating yourself for mistakes or perceived flaws, you can cultivate a sense of acceptance and self-compassion that allows you to learn and grow from your experiences. Remember that self-care and self-compassion go hand in hand. Taking care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally is an act of self-compassion, and practicing self-compassion is a form of self-care. By making these practices a priority in your life, you are setting yourself up for greater happiness, fulfillment, and resilience in the face of life's ups and downs.
