Taking Care of Yourself Daily Practices Checklist

Taking Care Of Yourself Checklist

We are discussing taking care of yourself this month with self-care ideas and thoughts. I was just on a webinar this morning diving deep into this conversation during this global health situation we are all presently living through. It is quite interesting to me that not one public servant at any level of government has made any effort to help citizens learn some basic self-care ideas for better health, to reduce stress and build a better society of people today. 

You see, if you want to feel better daily, then you must have a guideline for taking care of yourself because no one else is going to do it for you. You just can’t count on having other people to help with your well-being, so you must have a daily plan and practice. You might think that having a plan for your own self-care is a waste of time, but by taking care of your body and mind, you can avoid additional mental or health problems in the future. Use these self-care guidelines to improve the way that you feel. 

Emotional Self-Care

Experts believe that your emotional well-being is vitally important, and you may overlook this aspect of your health. You may think that your emotional well-being is good because you are in denial of certain stressful situations in your life, but if you ignore emotional difficulties, then the problems will get worse with time. One of the best ways to understand your emotional health is by taking time to notice your mood and how you feel. If you are a busy person, you might not notice that you feel anxious, sad, or angry until the emotions lead to serious problems. 

Physical Self-Care

Taking care of your physical well-being involves many aspects of your daily life, including eating real organic foods, sleeping enough and getting plenty of exercises. If you aren’t consuming a nutritious real food diet, then you need to create daily menu plans that include fresh vegetables and fruits along with pastured proteins and wild-caught fish. At the same time, you must have an exercise practice that includes a variety of physical activities. In addition, adults require seven to nine hours of sleep each night to avoid illnesses such as colds and influenza. 

Spiritual Self-Care

A spiritual practice can include traditional religious services, but it also can involve daily practices such as meditation or prayer. You may want to have a quiet area of your home where you can focus on spirituality. This area will be a quiet and comfortable place where you can simply sit peacefully with yourself. Learning to meditate can be as simple as heading over to YouTube and I recommend checking out finding Light Walking to help you how to focus your mind. 

Use a Calendar to Keep Track of Self-care

I use an app on my phone to track my walking steps each day. It is a free app and it tracks steps, my bike rides and my workouts.  This helps me to know how far I walk each day and the time it takes daily. I use a calendar to make appointments with reminders for my walking, workouts, quiet time to meditate. These reminders help me stay on track daily and are a simple way to practice self-care consistently. These times are booked in my day like any other important appointment. 

Share any ideas and/or comments on how are you taking care of yourself with your daily practices? 

This simply means that by taking time for a self-care practice that includes slowing down and connecting more with mind, body and spirit you will learn what is best for you in pursuit of your best life.
