7 Easy Ways To Make Self-Care A Priority In Your Life Today

Self-care is an essential underrated necessity for us to touch "our" abstract idea of happiness – An intention we all endeavor, yet we remain fogged in the trail of optimally achieving it.

Caring for ourselves empowers us to consider our happiness first. It trains us to protect our value, our health, and our happiness; and being happy from within allows us to advance and provide a positive environment for the people we love and care about the most.

Let's start to take better care of ourselves!

1. Exercise

Exercise plays a fundamental role in being healthy. Exercising not only makes you feel good about yourself but also helps you set goals for yourself. It gives you a foundation to further make better.

Setting goals for yourself also serves as a brilliant lifestyle exercise, as it makes "you" a better "you"!

2. Have a Healthy Diet

Being healthy is not about looks or attractiveness, it's about being able to do things, being able to go places, and being able to live. A healthy diet is extremely important for a healthy "you."

Your diet has a very strong correlation to mental health. Having a healthy diet goes hand in hand with having healthy mental health.

3. D-I-Y Beauty

Spend time in taking care of your beauty – appreciate your beauty. D-I-Y beauty is a great way to spend time on ourselves! Put on a facemask, do your makeup, paint your nails.

Fetching the inner girly in you invariably sets a smile on our faces; doing these little things forever makes us nostalgic about our childhood days.

4. Optimize in Spirituality and Mental Health

Discovering your spiritual carriage can accommodate you to be in a more beneficial cerebral volume. Take time from your day, preferably in the daylight, or simply before bedtime, to read and study who you are, your holy scriptures.

Religious books are assumed to hold all the explanations of our mortal perplexities. Optimality in spirituality and devoutness is a transcendental approach to build your self better mental health.

5. Girls Night Out

Being with "your people" ever fits for the most tranquil space. Going out with your girls, and spending time with them, is a transcendent approach to stimulate communication and connection.

A connection is a fundamental ingredient in optimizing self-care. Connection and Communication help us articulate and verbalize our feelings and emotions in the most constructive style. Plus, who doesn't want a night out with their girls – Cheers!

6. Invest in Your "Thing"

We all have things that we love to do during our leisure, but at times work steers the action, and we become unable to do what we enjoy, whether it be art, music, or even dance.

Take time out of your day and invest in your "thing", in what makes you, YOU. Taking timeout for your crafts is an excellent practice for stress relief. Self-care always cheers you for being you and doing those little things that make you happy!

7. Heal

Last but certainly not the least, Heal. Healing serves as the ultimate gateway to happiness. Healing is not only a substantial chunk of self-care but also a necessity for achieving our abstract ideas of happiness.

Spend time reflecting and interpreting, what or who helps you heal. It's remarkably crucial to be there for yourself when you need you the most. Healing also helps you limit dependence on the presence of other people to make you feel content. It makes you a better person for yourself and the people you love and care about the most.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
