Self care is not only taking good care of your body, it involves taking care off your mind as well. There’s a common misconception that many of us have about self-care: that it’s only about indulgence and enjoyment. However, self-care goes far beyond indulgence. It’s actually about respecting your mind and body, understanding its limits, and being able to take care of every part of yourself, in a holistic way.
Below are a few proven methods that will help you become a better version of you;
Listen to Yourself
The bulk of self-care is knowing yourself. This means knowing your body’s limitations, and being in tune with your feelings, emotions and thoughts. So it’s important to know who you are and what you want to do in life, in order to truly say that you know yourself.
Seek Out Continuous Education
Perhaps, this may seem less common when you think of self-care, but lifelong learning is incredibly useful and an important component of taking care of yourself.
Improve Your Habits Both at Work and at Home
Habits define who you are, and are built up over time. You are what you eat is a great example of this. If you make it a habit to eat foods that nourish your body, rather than make your body feel bad, then you will be much healthier overall. All in all, when your habits improves positively, everything about you will change.
