Care of One. . .
There at times seems like a overwhelming amount of things that require our attention and effort – yet we often neglect the most important one – ourself
Take care of your physical and mental health, as a well-rested and healthy mind can make better decisions and handle challenges more effectively.
A self-care routine is essentially about taking care of YOU. It might mean getting out for a walk, organizing your house so you feel calm when you’re home, doing something healthy for yourself liking getting more sleep, or choosing to snack on fresh fruit instead of a bag of chips. There are loads of options!
Studies have shown that working with your hands and making something, whether it’s creative, or making progress on other skill sets, can help reduce anxiety. Turns out that the process of being creative and making something decreases the stress hormone cortisol and promotes a feeling of calm.
Research shows that people who have a hopeful viewpoint tend to have healthier mental and physical health and can even live longer, happier lives. Multiple studies have found that positive thinking is associated with lower blood pressure and a lower risk of heart disease.
Optimism is also linked to better diet and exercise habits. To cultivate a sunnier attitude, start by mindfully focusing on positive moments — it could be a delicious cup of coffee or a fun conversation with friends.
Peace and Love, Jim
