Practicing Self Care When I was young, a long time ago, self care wasn’t something that was talked about. We were told to “just get on with it”or it was seen as being lazy if you took time to yourself. But self care is a more holistic approach to help you maintain or even perhaps improve your physical, mental and emotional health. It’s things like eating well, having a good sleep routine and getting enough sleep, setting boundaries and being able to relax so that it helps manage any stress and your overall well being. Now self care is everywhere and people are realising how important it is. It doesn’t have to be anything big. It can simply be lighting some candles, having an early night, I’ve done it his the last week and it’s made a difference to how I’ve felt, having a lovely healthy meal. But what you do doesn’t matter as much as how you treat yourself. Don’t feel guilty about setting boundaries, listening to your body and recognising when your nervous system needs a break. Self care has changed from survival to awareness. It’s changed from “keep going no matter what” to “what do I actually need right now?”I’m learning to pay more attention to my body after a short illness period. So self care can be as simple as that. Self care isn’t selfish, it’s one of the most important investments that you can make in your wellbeing. One of the hardest parts of self care for me is doing nothing, I can’t just sit and relax but I’m learning.

Weekly Affirmations Why do affirmations work for anxiety?Because they help retrain your brain from shifting away from negative thoughts toward a more calm and rational view. Like practicing gratitude the more you do it the more beneficial it is. Anxiety is like a loop of negative self talk and affirmations replace that thought process with “I can’t” with “I can”. With anxiety there’s a fear that this feeling will stay forever, but it doesn’t have to be that way. When your heart races, your thoughts spiral and you can feel overwhelmed. Your emotions are like waves, they rise, peak and eventually settle. One affirmation you can use when you feel like this is “This feeling will rise and fall” Just remind yourself that you’ve felt this way before, that has passed before so it will pass again. Remember repetition is key to changing those subconscious thoughts. The feeling is only temporary. Marina ... See MoreSee Less
