In the entire chaos of balancing time between your office work, family time, house chores, and whatnot, we often forget the most important part, which is ourselves. We often forget to cherish and care for ourselves, and with everything else being a priority, self-care should also be one of the topmost priorities of our lives. It’s indirectly an investment in your general health.
Importance of prioritizing yourself
Have you ever wondered why it is crucial to prioritize yourself? And no, it’s not called being selfish; it’s simply just taking care of yourself. Self-care is truly important because it is more like loving yourself and taking care of everything that your skin, body, mind, and soul need. It is giving yourself the right love it needs from itself. Self-care boosts your mood, your confidence, your energy, and everything. So, get over there and begin your self-care journey today.
What is self-care truly? Eating the right food, nourishing your body and skin, haircare, right exercise, and above all it’s about embracing and accepting who you truly are. Discover each aspect in this blog and start valuing yourself.
Self-care is not skincare.
Skincare is a part of your personal self-care journey.
Isn’t it cool? Your self-care journey starts with your skincare as well. No, this doesn’t mean investing in a lot of expensive products; it can also mean starting with basic home remedies. Skincare begins on the inside, and have you seen the latest trends where people drink juices for their skincare? Yes, you heard that right. The new Instagram craze is that people drink ABC juice, orange juice, papaya juice, or probably a green juice to get their dose of retinol naturally.
After this comes the basic skincare regime that you can follow if you do not want to overdo anything. Start with your cleanser, followed by any serum and toner of your choice, moisturizer, and lastly sunscreen. For the nighttime you can follow the same, and just skip the sunscreen step. You will see the difference in your skin by following just the basics.
Nourish your body.
Eat right and work out tight.
Yeah! You heard that right. Mindful eating with the right exercise goes hand in hand when it comes to your personal care. Nourish your body with the right amount of nutrients it needs and try to stay away from highly processed junk food. Yes, they may give you a short-term boost but have terrible long-term impacts on your body.
Exercise your way towards a better version of yourself. Take this journey in your hand and work on the betterment of your physique. Exercise, meditate and do whatever you feel is right for your body. Burn off those calories and work on yourself. Take out at least 25 minutes from your schedule and go for a walk, run, do cardio, lift weights, or whatever works for you.
Give time to yourself.
Give that time you need to yourself. Do whatever you like in this time. This would be your journey and time to strengthen your bonds with your people, pray to your god, develop your relationships, and whatnot. Do what makes you happy; it could include anything, like hanging out with your loved ones or simply a walk in the midst of nature. Take little pauses from your schedule and do what makes you truly happy. Stay away from toxicity of any kind and focus on improving yourself.
Discover yourself and observe the changes in your lifestyle, your relationships, your spiritual awakening, your physical and mental health, and your entire well-being. Taking care of yourself is as important as taking care of your loved ones.
Conclusion: Get there and start your personal care now. It’s never too late to start caring for yourself. Whatever it takes, make sure you’re giving time to yourself and doing things that make you happy. For once, take a deep breath, live for yourself, and see how much things change for you.
