Self Care

Someone once said “You cannot pour from an empty cup.”  Sound advice. It is the month of Love, so make filling your cup and caring for yourself a priority. Self care is an important aspect to optimal health and well-being. It is the act of purposeful tasks to nurture physical, emotional and mental health. Here are 5 easy ways to begin self care this month:

1. Physical Health – Be proactive about your health. Sleep well. Eat well. Exercise often.

2. Socialise – Life gets busy. But take the time an energy to cultivate the bonds of friendship and family.

3. Mental Health – Maintain a healthy inner dialogue. Keep your mind sharp and indulge your curiosity with mentally stimulating activities.

4. Spiritual – Spirituality can mean meditation, prayer or just finding a deeper sense of meaning with the universe.

5. Emotional Well-being – Speaking to someone about and adopting healthy coping mechanisms to deal with difficult emotions like anxiety, anger and sadness.
