Top 10 Self-Care Tips
Taking care of yourself is not only essential for self-preservation, but it is also necessary in order to most effectively help others. The following are some suggestions for practicing self-care:
-
Get Enough Sleep (7 to 8 hours is recommended for adults; 9 to 10 hours for teenagers)
-
Eat Healthy Foods (try to minimize "junk food" and "fast food")
-
Exercise (experts recommend 30 minutes of active exercise each day at minimum)
-
Schedule Time to Spend with Loved Ones
-
Meditate, Do Yoga, or Prayer (use whatever works best for your life and philosophy)
-
Make Time for Your Favorite Hobby or Interest (or develop one if you do not have one)
-
Think Kind Thoughts of Yourself (life can be tough...be kind to yourself!)
-
Volunteer (serving others can help you to think kind thoughts of yourself!)
-
Take Time for Breaks (you can't drive a car without gas - neither can you function fully without breaks!)
-
Treat Yourself Once in a While (Stressed? Try a favorite Dessert!)
