Self care is one of the most important ways we can look after ourselves, especially at this time of year. While it might seem like common sense, self-care is a continuous routine that evolves with practice.
So, why do self care?
Whether it’s meditating, cooking or simply ringing a friend, engaging in a self-care routine has been clinically proven to have physical and mental health benefits:
Better relationships; prioritising self-care means more emotional resources to invest in people and relationships that matter.
Self-esteem; self care sends a signal to the brain that it’s worth prioritising what feels good.
Stress and burnout; activities such as exercising, resting and eating well allow the body to reset and recharge.
Increased productivity; means people get closer to personal and professional goals, generating a positive feedback loop.
Here are some tips to help you start your self care journey.
