Content: It’s about deliberately taking time for yourself, and recognizing that doing so is an important part of your physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. In a world where we are constantly trying to please others – whether our boss, our family, our friends, and lots of other people besides – Agnes Wainman has described the practice as “something that refuels us, rather than takes from us.” Why should we prioritize self-care? Well, it can have huge benefits for our physical health. The “relaxation response” that is triggered when we do the kind of things listed in this article acts like an “off switch” for the body’s fight or flight response. Our blood pressure and heart rate are lowered, our digestive system is allowed to function normally, and our hormonal levels of adrenaline and cortisol can return to normal levels. In terms of our mental health, self-care is a vital to the successful management of depression and anxiety disorders. And finally, self-care actually improves our relationships with those around us. When we avoid emotional burn-out, boost our self-esteem, and banish feelings of resentment through practicing self-care, we actually make ourselves better able to relate to, and care for, others. That’s why we’ve put together a list of 15 simple self-care tips for a healthier, happier you.
