You’ll hear us say this over and over in this article – “Put it on the calendar!” Or better yet, “Put YOU on the calendar!”
1. Physical Self-Care
Physical self-care is a crucial aspect of overall well-being. And of course you know that taking care of your body through regular exercise, proper nutrition, and regular check-ups with a healthcare provider is important but are these at the top of your “to do” list? Regular exercise not only improves physical health it also has a positive impact on mental and emotional well-being.
We naturally lose muscle and bone mass as we age but you can slow that down by consistently exercising – vigorously and consistently!
There’s a lot of talk about “brain health” these days. So guess what the most effective form of exercise for the brain is… EXERCISE!
2. Nutritional Self-Care
Eating a healthy diet also plays a vital role in maintaining physical health. Keep it simple. More fruits and vegetables and less animal products. Cut out the sugar and carbs and think fresh and raw! Clean out the cupboards and fridge of processed foods and anything that does not contribute to your wellbeing. You know what that is. Create an environment where your choices are all healthy.
Forget the fries, ditch the donuts, and can the Coke! Additionally, it is important to make sure you are getting enough sleep, as lack of sleep can have a detrimental effect on physical and mental health. Lack of sleep is often a contributor to excess weight.
3. Mental Self-Care
Mental self-care is just as important as physical self-care. That means taking care of your mind through practices such as mindfulness and meditation, as well as seeking support from a therapist, counselor, trusted advisor, or good friend when needed.
Mindfulness and meditation are powerful tools for reducing stress and anxiety, and promoting inner peace and calm. Take a class, watch a YouTube video on this but get started!
It’s not hard it just needs to be on your calendar! Many PEMF8000 Pro clients find that using the full-sized PEMF mat for their meditation or relaxation times makes their meditation even better.
4. Emotional Self-Care
Emotional self-care is about taking care of your emotions through practices such as journaling, setting boundaries, and expressing your emotions in a healthy way. Journaling can be a powerful tool for processing and understanding emotions, and setting boundaries is important for maintaining healthy relationships and protecting your emotional well-being.
Forgiveness is a big topic but how quickly you forgive yourself and others plays a big role in your emotional and mental wellbeing.
Letting go of the past and having a positive vision for the future are helpful tasks for your emotional self-care. Exploring ways to express emotions in healthy ways, whether it’s talking things out with a good friend or therapist, or engaging in a form of self-expression such as art, dance, or music – now is a good time to get started.
5. Spiritual Self-Care
Spiritual self-care can be achieved through practices such as prayer, meditation, or connecting with nature but everyone has to decide for themselves what works.
Whatever you believe in or don’t believe in is fine but if it’s important to you, put it on the calendar, make it a priority and make it a consistent practice.
Whether your church is that Sunday service or that walk in the forest, commit to it and stay connected.
