Self-Care Tips for the Body

innateJoy9602 September 7th, 2022

“Importantly, you are your best keeper. So, providing physical and emotional support for yourself is an important part of what you do to live and thrive. Fitting in a little exercise or stress management into your morning routine, taking part in a support group for moms, or setting aside a few minutes each day to quietly read a book, in your room with the door closed, to help reset your energies and feel energized — However you practice self-care, no one can take better of your emotional health and physical health than you. No one can fix your self-care shortcomings for you — but you!

The paths to a more well-connected mind-body communication may look a little different for each of us. For some, it simply means closing your eyes and sitting still, actively mentally checking in with various parts of your body. For others, muscle relaxation exercises, mindfulness, meditation, grounding practices, yoga, or spiritual activities like praying can help.

The common thread amongst all these methods is to take the time to do it with the intention of listening to your own body. And then, addressing the different ways you need to take care of your body.

Self-Care Activities for the Body

No matter your level of fitness, the shape of your body, or the quirks, intricacies, challenges, or skills your body emulates, it’s still cells, tissues, organs, bone, and skin. We all have an intricate physical body with varying needs — so, if some of these self-care tips need to be modified to fit your body’s needs, feel free to do so. There is no judgment here. We are all here to learn, and to converse about how we can take better care of our bodies through self-care that really works.”

I've always been mindful to keep my physical health in good shape as I realize my physical health is very important to my mental health! Especially when I feel particularly healthy by being active and eating healthy foods, my moods and my mental state become much more positive!
