What does self-care actually look like?
When we hear self-care, it's easy to picture sitting on the sofa, watching Netflix, having a glass of w**e and switching off from everything.
And sometimes, that might be exactly what you need.
But self-care is much bigger than that.
Self-care is doing things today that help you feel better today AND in the future.
🏋️♂️ It's strength training so your body stays capable.
🚶♂️ It's getting outside and moving because movement makes you feel good.
🥗 It's eating nutritious food most of the time — while still enjoying the doughnut without feeling guilty about it.
😴 It's prioritising sleep and recovery.
❤️ It's spending time with the people who matter to you.
🌍 It's getting out, having experiences and actually enjoying your life.
And yes, sometimes it's putting your feet up and doing absolutely nothing.
Self-care isn't about being perfect.
It's about looking after your physical and mental health so you can keep doing the things you love, with the people you love, for as long as possible.
That's one of the biggest reasons I believe we should exercise in the first place.
Don't train just to change what you see in the mirror.
Train for the life you want to live.
Move better. Live better. 💙
