Perhaps this season of spring is YOUR time to jump into self-care. Maybe the concept is totally new to you; or perhaps you used to be epitome of taking all the steps to love oneself, but fell off the bandwagon. Either way, it's never too late. Spring is the season of new beginnings. Here are some tips to get you started:
First and foremost, remember that self-care comes in MANY FORMS:
physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, and social
And with this, self-care can look like many different things. Some of those include:
Getting enough sleep and physical activity / exercise
Eating a well-balanced, healthy diet and drinking enough water
Taking a step back from situations (or people) when you feel you need to
Asking for help when you could use it
Spending time alone
Checking in with yourself
Setting boundaries
Saying 'no' when the time is appropriate
Doing things you enjoy
Spending time with others
Getting outside (and soaking up some vitamin D!)
Taking a break from social media
Remember: you can't pour from an empty cup.
