We’ve finally arrived at warmer days, where the temperatures start to be pleasant and where we can go out without worrying too much about how many sweaters or hats to take with us.
This is also a good time to take some time for yourself and put yourself first. There are no rules for what it means to take care of yourself, it’s up to each and every one of us to find what makes you feel good. We often feel that taking time for ourselves is selfish. The fact is that we always have something else more important to do, and we all tend to put ourselves on the back burner. And of course, we are always overwhelmed.
Remember that when you don't take breaks, you burn out. When we become exhausted, we are not happy. When we are not happy, we tend to transmit our mood to those around us... It's a vicious circle. So, taking time for yourself means taking care of yourself.
Some ideas for finding some time for yourself:
1. No is a complete sentence. Your children or spouse will be able to take care of some extra tasks to free up some time for you.
2. Take hikes in nature to recharge your batteries. Even 10 minutes in a forest will bring you a noticeable benefit.
3. Put away your screens. Today everything is done on a screen, whether it is a computer, phone or tablet. We tend to be hyper connected to our devices rather than being in the present moment.
4. Get enough sleep. People can never tell me that enough. Herbal teas, relaxing drops, sound of waves, do what you need to do to get enough sleep.
5. For the perfectionists among us, let go. It doesn’t matter. Take a deep breath and slow down.
6. Laugh, look around, read, dance, play, and most importantly, breathe.
