We need ourselves.
What does taking care of myself mean? How do I do it?
They are questions I receive every day from the special people who visit me in my office.
It is true that after several years of self-awareness, I discovered how I should take care of myself.
It is true that we grew up as children in families that themselves did not know what it means to take care of myself.
The long-term absence of essential self-care can lead to emotional distress, mental and physical fatigue, etc.
Every day we are called to face many internal and external challenges, we must have established obligations. All this requires us to be mentally rested, to have energy and to have clarity.
In order to have these, however, we need to take care of ourselves daily and in a systematic way. Therefore, a change in way of thinking and mentality is needed.
Let's see together some understandable ideas on how I can take care of myself?
- I find time for me. I close the cell phone, the computer and sit with me.
- I recognize what my own needs are. That is, I try to observe me and feel my wants.
- I understand that I am an adult and I need to do it for me. Not to demand it and complain to my partner, my child.
- Put limits. I'm finally learning that I can protect myself and say no to what I don't want.
So I'm learning to say Yes to me.
-It's not selfish to love me, to take care of me, to want quality time with me.
It is reasonable, human and necessary.
- Get the emotional vampires out of your life.How much more will they suck the energy you need?
-Follow your dreams, change direction. Let go of the excuses that you are old enough, that you don't have time, that everything is your fault or bad luck, etc.
Your true self knows what it desires and asks you to provide it. It needs love, care, time and acceptance.
You are your own caregivers.Stop doing it for everyone else and then feeling bad that they don't do it for you.
The only person responsible for your self-care is you. Remember that you are needed. Invigorate your soul, your heart and bloom!!
