What is Self Care?

We hear the topic alot and maybe even get intrigued, but do we really know what it is?

Whenever I say Sunday is my self-care day, often times people think I mean time to put on a face mask and sip on some calming tea. And while those are things I do to contribute to my self-care, self-care is just sooo much more than that. It’s literally about taking care of yourself. Do you only comprise of skin, water, muscles, bones and bla bla bla? No. So why should self-care be about taking care of just that part of yourself? It shouldn’t.

This must mean that there are different types of Self-Care, right? Right.

You may ask, but what else is there. Good for you that I practice self-care alot….and that I have google. Heh heh…anyway.

Self-care is something we do intentionally to take care of our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health. The thing is, these types of self-care can be broken down into subtypes. This whole taking care of yourself thing really does impact your entire life.

But wait…couldn’t this just be an excuse for laziness? I’m glad you asked.

Many people don’t actually see self-care as a necessity but more of a luxury/selfish act that sucks out your resources, aka ‘going to the spa is expensive.’

 Self-care is actually an act of doing something to protect, help and improve all aspects of your health. This means it would be unhealthy not to take care of yourself.  And taking care of yourself means recognizing what is needed from/for you and actually getting that diffuser to help clear your mind (if that’s what you’re into) or stretching ya body. I know some of you aren’t exercising like you should. Consider this a wake up call, GO EXERCISE LEE, you too Kathryn. But for those of you thinking of how broke you are: do you need money to get an appropriate amount of sleep, or to write your feelings on paper, or to do a crunch, or to go beside a tree and admire nature’s beauty, or to Call on Jesus? If you say yes and I know you, I will hit you later. But for those of you who had good reason to say yes and aside from the things that don’t need money, tell me, if you had a condition that required surgery for your life to be more efficient, and you had the money to either use it for the surgery or add it to capital for your business, would you risk that condition overthrowing your life or sacrifice some mullah for your health? It is not selfish to make sacrifices for your health. In ALL aspects.

What happens when I don’t take care of myself? I feel overwhelmed, I feel like a shirt, pressed out. Even anxiety and depression might become my new besties. For you, neglecting self-care may result in something like that…or even worse. Or maybe you don’t feel as bad when you sit in your mess. But I know you feel better after bathing, even if you didn’t feel like you needed that bath at first. This is all about getting better at being you right? And what better way to know what you like from what you don’t, or identifying what your limit is and if you need to work on a certain part of yourself to help you get better and in turn, grow.

Also, taking care of oneself cannot come with prejudism in any form. So males, if you think you are excluded from this, unless you lack a body, a mind or emotions, you’re stuck being human with the rest of us. Which, in case you haven’t picked it up, means you are as much ‘eligible’ for self care as I am. Mmk moving on.

Now with all that being said, you probably got tired of reading the words ‘self-care’ so I’m done now…well I’m done now. I am going to try my best to share the knowledge I’ve acquired for allll the years I’ve been alive, so we can help each other out. I’ll go more in-depth on different topics in future blogs. If you have things to share on what you do for your self-care, that would be very appreciated. We can all grow with each other by learning from each other, and, you might just find something that works for you. Wink.

 Anyway, I have my skin care to get to so I hope you’re tired of reading now.

I’ll talk to you more next time hunees, but for now, that’s all I wrote. Byeee.
