Discover the Art of Self-Care with Sleep, Meditation, and Meaningful Conversations – Your Path to a Balanced Life
It’s time to seriously reexamine the role that self-care plays in our lives. Nowadays, it’s a phrase that is thrown around often, but people can still struggle with understanding or implementing it. Self-care is different for everyone. For some, it’s lounging on the couch with some take-out and a good TV show; for others, it’s hanging out with people who help us forget about the hustle and bustle of life. There’s no right or wrong here.
Self-care is important because it helps us rejuvenate, rest, and replenish. It gives us the time and space to pause and enjoy our present. Many people enjoy self-care activities, but there are times when self-care is conflated with self-indulgence. It’s not only about feeling good, but it’s also about being healthy.
The body needs time to recuperate from time to time. Our modern world is busy, fast, and oversaturated. Whether it’s from our phones or our daily tasks, it is easy for us all to become overloaded. Below we’ve listed three great self-care tips to add to your weekly schedule. It’ll enhance and improve your quality of life.
SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP
Let’s start with the basics! There is nothing more nourishing and revitalizing than sleep. It’s very easy to underestimate and downplay the importance of a proper sleep schedule. Sleeping is the body’s natural self-care ritual. While we’re off dreaming, our body is still up and alert clearing through any toxins we’ve built up throughout our day. It also strengthens our immune systems, and it restores synaptic plasticity — which simply means it’s beneficial for our brain’s learning processes.
Sleep is one of the first things we forgo when we’re in a rush or when we’re stressed out; however, it cannot be overstated enough: SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP. It will help you in more ways than one.
PRO-TIP: Just because nap time ended in kindergarten, doesn’t mean you can’t implement power naps into your routine. Maybe swap in the energy drink or coffee for a 30-min power nap every once and awhile!
MEDITATION
Look, we know you’ve seen this big push towards meditation in the last couple of years… but the experts are onto something with this one!
Meditation genuinely needs no introduction, so we’ll keep it brief: meditation takes the pressures of life off of your shoulders. Sometimes, as much as we may want to, we can’t quit and run off into the sunset without taking care of our responsibilities; however, meditation offers us a chance to feel like we did that.
Meditation is a practice where your mind is focused on something that calms you–whether your breath or a humming sound — and you allow your mind and body to just relax. No thoughts, just vibes.
It’s a great way to find your center and to revisit it each and every time life gets to be a little too much. It can be done anywhere and at any time. Just close your eyes, breathe, let your body relax, and keep breathing. Peace will surely find you, but you have to remember to make space for it.
A GREAT CONVERSATION
Once you’ve had a good night’s sleep, or meditated some stress away, use this newfound energy to do something utterly invigorating: have a great conversation about it. Hear us out: sharing a great experience is a wonderful way to build a new connection or strengthen an older one.
Again, we all live on the same planet and it can be stressful, but that doesn’t mean it has to be lonely. There are so many people looking to improve their self-care routines and build upon their healthy habits. You don’t have to go through this alone, and we can ensure that you don’t.
