Self Care & Hobbies (Mental Health Awareness)
Hello All! Hope you are having a good day/ morning/ afternoon/ evening <3
With it being Mental Health Awareness Week I have taken the time to get a lil bit of info for you all on Self-Care and Hobbies. There's a few questions at the end to get you thinking :P I hope you enjoy a lil read and if you have any extra knowledge on self care and hobbies you wish to share please do!
What is Self Care?
Self care is the practice of taking and action to improve ones own health.
Why is Self Care Important?
Self-care is the most important way to boost and maintain both emotional and physical health. Many people today neglect it due to a lack of time, and this negatively impacts the lives of those who do not make sure they are putting themselves first. Self care should always come first, and should never be a reward.
Self Care helps you:
Give your mind a break / Clear mind
Time to clearly accept and think about your thoughts
Most importantly to ‘Reboot your brain so you can stay engaged.
Remember...
Self care is different for each person. It could be laying in the bath having a soak or going to have a massage or a pedicure. It may just being doing some of your favourite hobbies ( for me that would be doing crafts :P )
Importance of Hobbies
Hobbies are important to have and enjoy for many reasons..
Physical. Physical hobbies have clear physiological benefits because they increase both your heart rate and brain function.
Mental and Emotional. Carving out time for activities you enjoy is an easy way to improve your mental health and overall emotional well-being.
Social and Interpersonal. Hobbies are a great way to socialize and meet new friends and gain new skills.
