Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed, sad, lonely, unhappy and just empty?
Well, I have the solution for you: It’s self-care!
Self-care plays a very important aspect in our lives and without it we as human beings can’t function properly.
I learnt it myself the very hard way, I used to neglect my feelings, my emotions, my body, my physical and mental health. And it lead me to depression.
I used to have severe anxiety, I was unhappy, I felt so empty, without a purpose and I didn’t feel like that I was living a good life.
UNTIL I started to take care of myself.
My self-care journey started with my yoga practise a few years ago. It wasn’t easy to take care of myself because I had to put in the effort.
And this is where most people stop: at the ‘making the effort’ stage.
Most people don’t know how to practise self-care. They think it has to be a ‘vacation’ where they have to save up some money before or buying nice things for themselves. Yes that is self-care but it is expensive self-care.
But that is not it, self-care can be as easy as reading a book. Taking some time out in your day and just to be with yourself to do something you really enjoy doing. It could be journaling, writing down your feelings and emotions that you’re carrying with you to eventually let them go.
I actually started habits for a self-care routine which include my own yoga practise and meditation, I journal and practise gratitude daily.
And there is soooo many other ways of taking care of ourselves!
