Engage in selfcare activities from "summary" of Unfuck Your Brain by Faith G. Harper, PhD, LPC-S, ACS, ACN
Taking care of yourself isn't just about bubble baths and scented candles. It's about engaging in activities that make you feel good, that nourish your mind and body, that replenish your energy. Self-care is a way to refuel and recharge, to show yourself love and kindness in a world that can often be harsh and unforgiving. It's about prioritizing your well-being and making yourself a priority in your own life.
Self-care activities can take many forms, from physical activities like going for a walk or doing yoga, to mental activities like journaling or meditating. It's about finding what works for you, what helps you relax and unwind, what brings you joy and peace. Self-care is a personal journey, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's about tuning into yourself and listening to what you need in that moment.
Engaging in self-care activities is not selfish or indulgent – it's necessary. It's about taking care of yourself so that you can show up fully in your life, so that you can be present for yourself and for others. It's about setting boundaries and saying no when you need to, about prioritizing your own needs and well-being. Self-care is a radical act of self-love, a way to honor yourself and your worth.
So, take the time to engage in self-care activities, to nurture yourself and give yourself the care and attention you deserve. It's not always easy, and it may require some effort and commitment, but the rewards are immeasurable. Self-care is an investment in yourself, in your happiness and well-being. So go ahead, take that bubble bath, light that candle, and show yourself some love. You deserve it.
