I’ve always been the type of person, who takes care of others. Well, I had to make a decision on what is best for my family and myself. It doesn’t make this any easier, leaving my friends at Hospice, that I’ve worked with for over 2 years.
Do you ever get that feeling that you’re being pulled into a million directions until you feel like you’ve lost your center, your essence, and your being? Everybody wants you to do something for them, and, of course, you want to help, and you want to be there for them, be their rock, a shoulder to cry on. You know you need to take care of yourself, but that takes a back seat. Well, that’s where I’ve gotten to. I’m a Mom, Grandma, Wife, Nurse, Friend, Avon Rep and Councilor. Of course, not in that exact order.
The feeling of satisfaction I receive when you help someone is undeniable. When you are there for them, you feel needed. There’s a price to pay, of course.
This emotion or feeling of acknowledgment comes with that price. It’s like a double-edged sword. You keep giving and giving until you feel drained, emptied, and you can’t recognize yourself anymore.
You ask yourself, “How does doing so much good leave you feeling so empty?”
You beg your soul to feed on all the good it’s doing, but it continues to feel starved You can’t escape the cycle because you’re stuck on repeat, and no one seems to want to click on the next button anytime soon.
Here, we are I’m going to learn how to take care of myself and become the best possible version of me, so I can really can be there for those that need me when the time comes.
I will continue to run my Avon eStore. But I’m no longer going to work a second job, I’m going to spend more time with the one’s I love.
How to Take Care of Yourself
There are different methods of practicing self-care, and the tricks, but it’s not always easy to find the right one to best with your schedule.
1. Emotional Self-Care
This involves accurately projecting your emotions. When it comes to your emotional health, the best idea would be to lay out your feelings as they are and prevent unnecessary suppressing of emotions. You might feel tempted to bottle up the feelings, but the healthy option would involve accepting and dealing with these emotions. Remember that although you can’t control your emotions, you control how they affect you.
Tips for Emotional Care
- See a therapist. Although this is optional, it can be a great way to talk through your feelings and get clear on what you want and need.
- Reminisce constantly on good memories, as this keeps you positive.
- Keep a thought journal or diary.
- Never be afraid to let it out and cry, and ask for help if you need it.
- Music is famed to be the food of the soul, and research[3] has proven that singing along to your favorite song is bound to improve your mood drastically.
2. Physical Self-Care
The benefits of self-care aren’t just limited to our minds, but it extends to show results in our physical bodies. Self-care is definitely known to improve your physical health. Even the simple act of worrying less exponentially boosts your immune system.
Tips for Physical Care
- Practice yoga to improve your mental state and enhance muscle tone and flexibility.
