Follow this up with a mud mask and hot bath and you have achieved self care.
Many of us have a hectic life and so many responsibilities! It’s no wonder we forget to take care of our personal needs.
While it’s hard to prioritize something like taking a bath when you have so many other items on your to do list, self care is crucial for our physical, emotional and mental well being. A healthy relationship with yourself produces positive feelings, boosts your confidence and self esteem. It’s necessary to remind yourself and others that you and your needs are important, too.
Overworking, stress and exhaustion can make you less productive, disorganized and emotionally drained. It can also lead to health problems, from anxiety and depression to insomnia and heart diseases.
Self care is not just about your mental health it’s also about caring for your physical self. Practicing meditation or going for a jog can help cut down the toxic effects of stress by improving your mood and energy. Getting sufficient sleep, caring about your hygiene, exercising regularly, and having healthy eating habits will improve how you feel about yourself.
Remember that taking care of yourself is also your responsibility. Little things like sipping tea, enjoying a warm bubble bath, getting your hair done, taking time to connect with a loved one, and reading a book are essential for your daily happiness. So next time you want to put off that mud mask remember YOU are a priority!
