I admit, self care wasn’t always my strong suit. I would always put everyone else before me, especially my family. Work was as just as high of a priority until I really started to get sick, really sick and feel terrible. Why was I trying so hard to make everyone happy and taken care of when I really need to put me first so I’m able to be there when they need me?! It was time that I share a few reasons why you really need to take self care seriously, so here are my 4 top tips!
Refocus
For me, one of the biggest things of self care is refocusing. You could working on a task for hours, studying or cramming for a huge test which can really bring you down. I take little breaks to help clear my head and sharpen my attention. These breaks can just be simple walking around with my son, grabbing a snack or just having a new chance of scenery. Coffee run to the rescue!
Reducing Stress
Of course stress is a natural part of life, the small amounts can be a good source of motivation, constant stress and more. Making sure to take care of ourselves can help prevent the stress for completely taking over our every move. It’s a game changer my friend.
Better productivity
When you learn how to say “no” to things that over-extend you and start making time for things that matter more, you slow life down in a wonderful way. This brings your goals into sharper focus and helps you to concentrate on what you are doing. This really helped me work smarter not harder which is key!
More To Give
I feel when you are good to yourself, you may think you’re being selfish. However, self-care really gives you the resources you need to be compassionate towards others as well. I remember when I was able to have a bit of self cafe; aka getting my nails done and while I was going to get a pick me up at a coffee shop, I was in such a good mood that I paid for the person behind me. #PayItForward I always say.
I wrote this post as part of a series Arin and Navy are sharing this summer! Be sure to check out their blogs to read as more bloggers share their stories and experiences on various topics!
Cait, I love this post! Lately I am BEYOND frazzled, and self care is so important. I am going to take your advice and start making little breaks in my day, to reduce overall stress. Lately I do find myself saying no to more things, events, and certain tasks… and I do feel like I have more to give! Thank you for reminding me to practice self care! xoxo
