4 ways to include self care into your busy lifestyle

Self-care is one of those things that is often overlooked.  We view it as a luxury that we can't afford to do.  But the truth is, self-care is necessary; it's something we need to be able to function at our best.  We felt run down and drained when we didn't care for ourselves.  We cannot accomplish anything because we're too busy dealing with our stress and problems.  So how can you fit self-care into your already busy life? In this blog post, I will talk about the importance of self-care and how you can make it a priority in your life.

Self-care is often one of the first things to go when we get busy.  We convince ourselves that we don't have time for it or that it's not a priority.  But the truth is, self-care is essential to our wellbeing.  When we neglect our needs, we become run down and stress, making it difficult to function at our best.

1. Make a list of self-care activities that make you feel good.  This could include taking a  relaxing bath,  reading a book, walking, or  getting a massage.

2. Schedule  self-care time  for your week.  Block off an hour or two each week to do something for yourself.

3. Set boundaries  with others.  Learn to say no to commitments not aligned with your self-care goals.

4. Practice self-compassion.  Be gentle when you mess up and don't meet your self-care goals.  Remember that you are human and that self-care is a journey you will continually take.

Making self-care a priority in your life is essential to your wellbeing.  By incorporating self-care into your weekly routine, you can make it a habit that will help you feel good both physically and mentally.
