Prioritizing self-care can have a positive impact on your overall well-being and happiness. Taking the time to slow down and care for yourself can help you feel more centered, calm, and rejuvenated. By incorporating self-care into your daily routine, you can elevate your life and cultivate a sense of inner peace that can help you tackle life's challenges with greater ease and resilience. Remember, self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity, and it's up to you to make it a priority. Take a moment to enjoy the peace and calm by incorporating self-care into your daily routine.
Exercise is an excellent way to de-stress and improve your mood. Incorporate at least 30 minutes of exercise into your daily routine; like walking, running, or yoga.
A study conducted by the United States Government revealed that 6.6% of Americans 25 years of age and older engaged in health-related self-care each day. While self-care can offer psychological benefits such as reducing stress, lowering anxiety, and potentially helping with depression, it's important to recognize that it's not a solution or remedy for mental health problems and illnesses.
According to the Government of Canada's Health Promotion resource, "There are many factors that contribute to well-being, and self-care is one aspect that we can control and act on. Sometimes, it can help alleviate the impact of a tough day." However, for those struggling with mental health, seeking professional guidance from a licensed therapist is crucial. The Government of Canada offers a list of mental health resources for those in need. Remember, self-care can complement professional treatment but should not be relied upon as a substitute for it.
It's more important to strive to achieve grace, not perfection. Learn to appreciate the simple beauty, the imperfect kind that is loved for what it is, a beautiful mess. Those dirty shoe prints tracked throughout the house mean your children were having fun outside, instead of being glued to an iPad. Those dirty dishes in the sink signify a beautiful, home-cooked meal you just shared with your family. Most importantly, that time you take to check in with yourself, take care of your skin, and put good ingredients in and on your body, will provide you with the energy needed to continue to enjoy the perfectly imperfect moments of your life.
