When you are running on low energy, you are on the road to burnout.
This is why filling your cup first is so essential before we give it to others. It's like what they say on the airplane, "put on your own oxygen mask first before helping someone else." It's the same in life.
We need to look after our own health and well-being first. This way, we can give so much more to others.
Self-care is vital for building resilience toward those stressors in life that you can't eliminate.
When you've taken steps to care for your mind and body, you'll be better equipped to live your best life.
Here are some simple ways to practice caring for your well-being.
- Live Healthily: Eat healthy foods, get enough sleep, exercise regularly.
- Practice good hygiene.
- See friends who bring out the best in you
- Try to do something you enjoy every day.
- Find ways to relax.
- Share your thoughts and feelings with a trusted friend
- Another form of self-care is through therapy.
- Therapy can often uncover the root of a failure to care for one’s self.
- Therapists aren't there to solve your problems. Instead, they can help you develop the tools you need for dealing with particularly tough emotions.
Whatever helps you let go, do it.
