Life can be busy and taking time out to relax and have some fun might seem like a sacrifice but it could be just the thing that gives you more energy and a positive outlook on life.
To be healthy, happy and productive we need to nourish our body with relaxation and play. Life can be busy and if we don’t give our mind a break from the everyday pressures we can experience more stress, anxiety, lower moods and depression. No rest and no play decreases our vital force which impacts our clarity, thinking and energy we put out into life. Self-care assists with our mental health, clarity, immunity and better health. We look livelier, energetic and are much more enjoyable to be around when we are well rested and present in the moment.
Below are 5 things below I do to give myself a little self-care / love:
- Have a pamper and give yourself a facial, hair mask, Epsom salt bath, foot bath or give yourself a good dry skin brushing to exfoliate all the dead skin cells and help stimulate the lymphatic system. It can be fun if you have a good buddy you can have a pamper session with or just as fun in your own company. If you want to treat yourself go out to a salon and get a massage or facial and sit back and relax.
- Move your body and go to the gym, go for a walk or take a Yoga or Pilate’s session and let your mind be still.
- Read a book or a magazine, or watch a movie with your favourite cup of herbal tea.
- Have a little space in the garden or veranda that you can potter around in and make your own little sanctuary. You don’t need too much space to create your own little rainforest of paradise.
- Get a regular hobby you can do that you automatically switch off when you are doing the hobby.
Make time for you so you can be the best version of you.
