 The importance of self-care: Be better to yourself
 
Self-Care - What it is all about?
Self care are activities that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional and physical health. People nowadays are so preoccupied with work and taking care of the people around them, that they overlook and forget to make time for themselves.
 
 
How can we practise self-care?
I have listed many different tips for self-care below. Let’s take a look at them together!
 

#1. Getting enough sleep.

I can’t emphasise this enough, practise keeping to a consistent sleep cycle. Having enough rest everyday has so many benefits such as keeping you healthy, reducing stress and allowing you to think more clearly. It allows you to stay focused for the day and increase productivity.

#2. Stress less
 
Ugh. We all know the horrible feeling when your boss is pressing you to submit the assignment, or when certain things don’t go your way. A bit of stress can be good motivation. But when the stress gets too much, it can be unhealthy. Don’t let it get to you. There are many ways to destress, ranging from doing yoga, meditation or even something simple such as reading a book or being aware of your breathing.
 
 

#3. Exercise
 
We all know that exercise is good for us. But how does it really benefit us? When we exercise, our body releases chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins trigger positive feelings in us and thus make us feel better about ourselves.
 
Daily exercise can benefit us both physically and mentally, helping to boost our mood and reduce any stress that we may be experiencing. It may be hard to hit the gym daily, so try to incorporate simple exercises such as walking, jogging or yoga to create something that works.
 
By following the simple steps mentioned above, i’m sure all of us can take better care of ourselves. It’s never too late to start today, so let’s all be mindful and healthy together!
