Self-Care

Self Care is an essential act of loving yourself, we cannot allow ourselves to be too busy or self-sacrificing that we forsake taking care of ourselves.

Mindset: The mind is the gatekeeper of your well-being and it determines whether or not you will start the day with a smile or spew your wrath on everyone in your path (your spouse, children, friends, and family). A mind that lacks focus and peace cannot find rest and restoration. It is difficult to make sound decisions and maintain balance when your mind is in a disarray, trust me I know from my own personal mental stress. I have had my share of anxiety, doubt,  and fear that has resulted in disaster. We must protect our minds (our thoughts) through healthy habits.


Questions for the Mind:

1.      Do you get 8 hours of peaceful sleep at least 5 days out of 7 days a week?

2.      Do you have positive expectations for the events that will happen during the day, even though you know that it will be a difficult day?

3.      Do you speak positive statements to those you interact with in your home, on your job, and people you meet throughout the day even though you might be given negative energy from them?

4.      Do you maintain thoughts of contentment with the life that you have even when you are lacking what you might need?

5.      Can you see the good in life challenges even when you are feeling defeated?

There are various techniques that you can do to renew and restore your mind:

  • Start and end your day with meditation and prayer. 
  • Reading books or listening to audible books that nourish your mind. 
  • Soaking in a warm bath. 
  • Play good music that is uplifting and inspirational.
  • Swimming.
  • Sunbathing is beneficial for mental health and it helps your body produce vitamin D, so  go outside and bask in the sun, play music or be in silence, whatever makes your mind and heart fill with joy.
  • Take evening walks.
  • Others, explore your city, county, & state.
