Let’s start by clearing up one misapprehension: the idea that Self-Care is considered being selfish or self-indulgent. In short Self-Care is taking care of oneself so you may remain healthy & prove well, a method of attending to your own needs in order to improve at attending to others.
You probably have noticed that self-care has now become more prominent than ever and feel as though you are hearing about it everywhere, in which case you’re right… One gauge, rendering to google trends, the figure of searches for ‘Self-Care’ has more than doubled since 2015. This is not coincidence, as explained by Paula Gil Lopez, PhD (Psychological & educational consultation), saying the necessity for Self-Care is apparent. ‘We have an epidemic of anxiety and depression, everyone senses it’. And as we’re all aware Self-Care is a chunk of the answer to better coping with everyday stressors.
The benefits of Self-Care
- Decreased stress levels
- Surge in energy
- Higher levels of productivity
- Heightened intuition and emotional awareness
Practices of Self-Care
There are different types of self-care such as emotional and or physical. Starting off with your physical appearance can further help with the mental. Have you ever noticed, how you feel much more confident and ambitious when you feel you look good?
I mean we’re not suggesting a full wardrobe make over (straight away at least) but instead starting off with small basic changes.
