Self-Care Strategies For Parents
Self-care is simply put, the fuel that our minds and bodies need to function fully and adequately. Otherwise, we run the risk of burn out.
Set aside a few precious moments in your day to check in with yourself.
Here are a few self-care strategies you can experiment with:
- Exercise appropriately
- Eat well and Practice good sleep hygiene
- Go for a walk and spend time with nature
- Breathe deeply
- Connect with your spiritual self
- Use positive self talk
- Spend time with nature
- Listen to good music
- Engage your senses by lighting a candle, soaking in a bath, drinking herbal infusions.
- Maintain your social connections by spending time with friends.
- And my personal favourite, write a gratitude journal.
Whatever you do, take care of yourself too.
Begin today. Integrate regular self-care strategies into your daily routine.
If you’re experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety or you think you may be depressed, please don’t keep it to yourself. Talk to someone about it.
