✍️What is the importance of self- care

Nourishing yourself in a way that helps you blossom in the direction you want to go is attainable, and you are worth the effort

Human body needs adequate maintenance, as such proper self care should be your top priority, because nobody can take care of you as you.
Self-care impact both your physical and mental well-being.

The following points are the importance of self care;

• Proper self care like exercising, meditation or even spending time with nature can help reduce stress hormones and also manage your anxiety level.

• Self care can also help one to boost his/her mood and happiness. When you engage in activities you enjoy there's a release of endorphins which are natural elevating hormones that can bring about feeling of happiness and you become contented too.

• Self-care increases your resilience; that's it builds your strength by making it easier for you to bounce back whenever you faced with challenges and difficulties.

• Relaxation and stress management can help improve your sleep quality, therefore self care promote adequate sleep which is good for your mental health.

✍️Explain 4 tips to care for yourself

Note:

We should know that self-care is not a one time fix but it is an ongoing process as long as we are still alive.

1: By me eating good and nourished food, especially vegetables, grains and fruits, these are rich in nutrients and can also help in sustaining energy.
Not forgetting staying hydrated.

2: I should also endeavor to engage in regular exercise, this can boost my immune system, reduces stress and also improve my sleep.

3: Human body needs 7-8 hours of sleep per night, as such I should try to always get enough quality sleep.

4: I should be able to do something that I enjoy by creating time for hobbies and activities that brings me joy. Like I love playing gospel music, that can me feel so uplifting and refreshing.

✍️What do you think regarding this statement,(self-care is selfish)?

I don't think taking care of my physical health by eating and exercising is selfish. I need to be sound and hearty before I think of extending the care to others. I can't offer what I do not have my friends.
So taking care of myself is not selfish but essential and it is a personal thing. All I need do is to discover the activities that best suit me, what works for me might not work for another person.
When it comes to my health,my darlings I am so intentional and very selfish about it. It can be only one me.
