The way one can define self-care is the intentional, proactive pursuit of integrated wellness that
balances mind, body, and spirit personally and professionally. If you’re wondering where to start, look
for something that you’ve always wanted to do or maybe something you feel you need to do, like an
exercise routine. We just need to follow S-M-A-R-T concept:
Specific: Identify the details about your goals.
Measurable: Decide how progress will be measured.
Achievable: Set realistic goals.
Relevant: The change will make a difference.
Time-bound: Set a realistic timeframe.
The best way to think about self-care activity is “Practicing self-care every day is important. “Daily
activities should be different than activities you do weekly, monthly and even yearly.”Following are very
simple tips you can follow regularly :
*Get Enough Sleep—Every Single Night
- Drink some water first thing in the a.m.
- Make a menu for the week.
*Have a mini dance party.
*Start your day with some5. Say no to others, and say yes to your self-care. - Have a family dinner.
*Nourish Your Body With Healthy Foods
*Meditate
*Give Yourself a Daily Self-Massage
*Learn to Say No
*Enjoy Some Time Outside
*Be Self-Compassionate
The bottom line is that your self-care routine is something deliberate and important to you that can
provide a refreshed sense of self. “You have to know yourself because what may work for you, like a spa
day, may not work for someone else”. “High levels of self-awareness and flexibility can really improve
this process and understanding what is meaningful to you.”
