"Stop, breathe, think/mindful minute brain breaks"?????
Did you know that humans have about 6,200 thoughts in a single day? Don’t you think our self-talk will affect how we think and feel about ourselves? It’s also important to stimulate our minds with mental activities. Mindful self-care also encompasses learning how to manage thoughts; setting clear boundaries with friends, family and work; and even recognizing the need to reach out for professional help. Check out a few ways to engage in mindful self-care below:
● Set daily intentions
● Increase awareness
● Be present in the moment
● Stop, breathe, think/mindful minute brain breaks
● Practice self-compassion/acceptance
What is physical self-care? When you are caring for your body, you’ll think and feel better, too. Physical self-care includes how you're fueling your body, how much sleep you're getting, how much physical activity you are doing and how well you're caring for your physical needs. Give some thought to what types of activities make you feel calm, balanced and happy, and schedule regular time to do them. Attending appointments, taking medication as prescribed and managing your health are all part of good self-care. Below are examples of how to engage in physical self-care:
● Fuel your body with healthy food
● Boost your immune system
● Move and build strength
● Enjoy quality sleep (8+ hours)
