#shawleveryday2019 Day 36

A few days ago I talked about self-care. But what does self-care really mean? Self-care in essence is the mindful taking time to pay attention to you, not in a narcissistic way, but in a way that ensures that you are being cared for by you.  I liken it to the concept of putting your own oxygen mask on before you help others with theirs. If you're not taking care of yourself, it's harder to be in a position to do well at work, in relationships, and with friends.

Here are some high-level examples of self-care:
  • getting the right amount of sleep for you
  • getting the right amount of food that you need for energy and happiness
  • finding time to decompress throughout the day
  • learning your personal limits and triggers
  • doing something you enjoy or have fun doing

And if you're looking for something more specific, try one of these:
  • take a shower
  • trim your fingernails and toenails
  • try a face mask
  • meditate or be mindful for 5 minutes
  • start a list of times when people compliment you
  • be screen-free for an hour
  • drink a big glass of ice water
  • sit up straight

What are your strategies for self-care?
