Self-care is mindfulness. Being mindful of our physical, mental and emotional needs and trying to get time to fulfill it is self-care. It is essential for us considering the loads of work and stuffs we have. If we won't have good self-care from time-to-time, we may feel overwhelmed or burned out. We need a self-care routine for us and here are some activities which we can add in our self-care routine.

yesSay No When You Need to as you can't do everything that come your way. You need to recognise what you can pick and what you need to say no. Be honest with yourself first and then with others. If you need to say no, pleas honestly let them know with your reasons. Others will appreciate your honest response and understand that it is not easy to keep up with everything.

yesHave a good sleep. Getting enough sleep is one of the ways to take care of yourself. On weekend you could sleep for some more hours. That's fine. We should try to recognise the needs of our body and mind. Sometimes getting a sleep really helps to feel fresh.

yesHave a good hot shower. On weekend, this is something I love to do. laugh Other days, I need to be on my toes. On weekend, getting a good long bath or hot shower really freshen up your mind and body and give a joyful feeling.

yesHaving something delicious to eat is amazing way to care for yourself. Cook or get something what you like to eat and nom it. smiley The sight of that delicious food makes you feel good from inside. It can really help to lift yur spirits.

yesSpend some good time with your people. Quality time with friends and family is always one of lovely ways to make yourself feel good. We all are close to some or other. That person could be your fluffy puppy as well. heart

yesGo and do something you love. We have so many stuffs to do everyday. Due to it we also sideline the things we love or want to do. Probably we could manage a bit of time from our routine and try to do it. Maybe baking a cake? Trimming the plants? Sketching or so on. Whatever you love to do, try to do.

So, we all need self-care for us and we can try it out by these small and simple ways. These small ways can do wonders and keep us active and energetic with a Go and Get attitude. Yayy!!!

What are your thoughts about self-care? Is it easy or hard for you to do? What is one thing you like to do for yourself? Share your thoughts with us. Let's practice some self-care.

Good Morning Mates!!! heartheart

**waves hi!**

I like the idea that you can't pour water from an empty bottle and if we are the bottle we need to care for ourselves first!

Have a great Saturday!

I've been told that sometimes telling people your reasons for saying no and not taking on more things may not always be a good idea. Not everyone will understand. Some will say, "Oh, well those things [your reasons] don't really matter. You need to do this thing I'm asking. It's more important than those other things." When the relationship isn't worth protecting, justifying yourself can just lead to further opportunities to undermine your boundaries. This was the idea behind not justifying yourself to certain people who don't respect your boundaries. Thankfully, not everyone is like this.

@ASilentObserver

a little self care works wonders for me but i must admit that i have enough space to improve on it frown. Sundays is not problem it became routine but other days it is harder to do. what i like apart from the usual stuff like meditating, yoga and exercise is just getting out of the house to the beach and watching the waves crashing on the rocks - so much energy and the downgoing sun is smiling at me (or laughing cheeky)

THANKS for this reminder Observer

Thank you for the tips.

Sometime, i found difficult to say no to people. I get confuse if this a real 'no' or this is just an excuse 'no'. Well, you know what I mean? :D

@ASilentObserver Hello Obs! :) You addressed such great points, and I love to participate in all of these types of self-care activities! :)

What are your thoughts about self-care? Is it easy or hard for you to do? What is one thing you like to do for yourself?
Self-care is a necessity for an individual's mental and overall health, and so I believe that everyone needs to take the time to take care of themselves and just enjoy themselves as much as they can. Moreover, self-care is easy for me to do at times, but it is also difficult at times. One thing in particular that I like to do for myself is have date days/nights with my husband as I get to be with the one I love while enjoying what I love and eating what I enjoy. :)
