When I say “self-care” many people think of intricate activities that involve lots of money or a need to plan a memorable event. Most of you are already utilizing some form of self-care method on a day to day basis. However, the frequency tends to dwindle as stressors build.
When ask “How are your eating habits?” or “Do you make time for a meal?”, many of us look perplexed as to why eating is considered a self-care activity. In today’s age most of us are on-the-go, experiencing significantly busy schedules that are filled with commutes, family lives, and managing multiple jobs. It is no wonder that self-care dissipates as our metaphorical plate gets full.

This will help you develop awareness into your likes and your dislikes. Keeping your 5 senses in mind, what activities can you engage in that will promote relaxation, self-love, and body awareness? These could involve embracing a loved one, baking a dessert or cooking a new recipe, listening to a musical artist, lighting candles, or watching a sunset. Embrace creativity in the development of these self-care activities. The more you engage in the development of these activities, the more likely you are to be invested in the process.
Maintaining socialization is an additional form of self-care, one of which is often underestimated. Utilizing social interaction can allow us to feel connected to those around us, promoting a sense of
