Self-Care

 

Self-care is all about taking care of your own self. It is a key reason of happiness in our lives. In this situation of the pandemic, we have already realised that self-care is very important to lead a healthy and happy life. We have been overlooking this crucial element of life as we are more into unhealthy eating habits, casual lifestyles which result in many harmful effects on our health. 

The present challenging situation has taught us all about the importance of good health and many realistic ways to take care of ourselves. The new learning about self-care motivates us to keep ourselves healthy and safe too. 

We need to practice self-care to obtain healthy and balanced life. The following tips can be very useful for self-care when everything is “locked & down”. 

1. Go green and be in harmony with nature: - We must go outside for a morning walk or jogging and do some Yoga. This will definitely help us in keeping ourselves physically fit and mentally stable. Moreover, it will make us feel livelier. 

2. Give yourself a “Break”:- During this hard time, everybody is working online and overusing mobiles, laptops, internet, etc. The overuse of these gadgets has started causing ill effects on our health & mind. Therefore, we need to indulge in indoor games like Chess, Ludo, or Carrom to revive our energy. 

3. Let’s be helpful & contented: - We must help our family, friends, and neighbours to keep up a good understanding and harmony. Helping others brings solace to our mind and soul. 

4. Go vegetarian: - We must eat green leafy vegetables. By eating green leafy vegetables and fruits, we get high antioxidants to keep ourselves healthy & free from illness. 

5. Read Books: - We can take out some time for reading books which will enhance our knowledge. Reading helps in getting good sleep, and keeps us fresh and updated. 

6. Drink Warm Water & Take Warm bath: - Drinking warm water clears all the harmful germs from our body and cure cough and cold. We should take a bath with lukewarm water at least once a day as it removes germs and provides relaxation for our muscles. It equally begets us feel fresh and healthy. 

Lastly, don’t give up and keep taking care of yourself...!
