Health Matters: Self-care
Self care as practice of deliberately taken personal action to nurture, improve and maintain physical, mental and emotional wellbeing has been my priority in such a way that I have stopped doing any strenuous work or activities that take a toll on my mental health. Prioritising self care involves engaging in those activities and habits that help one to manage stress, enhance life, build a better relationship and have a balance healthy lifestyle. It should be noted that self care is not self-centredness as some would think, but it's about prioritising oneself total health first to ensure a balance healthier and fulfilled life.
How do you prioritise Self-care in your daily routine? |
|---|
I start by dedicated a time for certain activities that revitalise my body and mind such as mild exercise involving joga, press-up morning jug etc, meditation, reading of edifying books and incorporating of a small mindfulness moment in a day. I create a healthy boundaries by saying no to anything or anyone that is not in terms with making me recharge. This new lifestyle I'm adopting isn't about being selfish, it's crucial for my overall well-being and productivity, I'm currently seeing the positive results on my mental health particularly.
What activities help you relax and unwind when you're feeling stressed? |
|---|
Exercise, adequate sleep, meditation, taking a deep breathing or stretching break, mindfulness; This one is very effective because once there are flows of wrong thoughts and imaginations, I would intentionally pause my thinking faculty, breath-in and out to release those negative emotions from off my mind. Those bad thoughts would vanish.
Why is Self-care important for maintaining overall well-being? |

How do you take time for yourself amidst your busy schedule? |
|---|
This is done by identifying small variables of time such as early morning , short break between tasks , weekends and set them aside for self care, scheduling them into calendar as any other appointments and ensure that it is non-negotiable. I would delegate tasks for a time and being serious in saying no to commitments not serving my wellbeing. I ensure I prioritise my personal needs and wellbeing despite a busy schedule. My mental health matters to me.
