With summer well and truly underway many are finally getting a chance to go holiday and focus on themselves. However some people have forgotten to take care of and nurture themselves for a variety of reasons, but it is important.
“Nourishing yourself in a way that helps you blossom in the direction you want to go is attainable, and you are worth the effort.”
– Deborah Day
Meditate
Meditation can sound like an intimidating practice, but it doesn’t have to be. Simply taking a few minutes to breathe deeply is a meditation practice in itself.
Be Present
Stay in the present moment. Enjoy time with friends and family! If your mind is constantly jumping between the past, present, and future, it is draining your energy.
Affirmations
The number one thing to remember when using affirmations is you must believe. Gently replace negative thoughts to more positive thoughts.
Forgive Yourself
The best way to release past burdens and trauma is to forgive yourself and choose love instead. If you are not ready to let go, simply honour your willingness to acknowledge it.
Gratitude and Appreciation
Prioritise the feeling of gratitude by intentionally showing appreciation for people and things around you. Gratitude is the best way to get out of an emotional rut quickly.
Always Choose Happiness
Whenever you get into circumstances that try to threaten your happiness, ask yourself this simple question: “Would I rather be right or happy?”
Explore Spirituality
Spirituality can offer a place of calm and peace like no other practice. The key to finding the spiritual path that resonates with you is to have an open heart and an open mind.
Follow Your Intuition
Learning to trust in your intuition is incredibly empowering and life-changing. It’s innate and within all of us, all you have to do is have faith in it.
It important to understand what self-care is for us and then identify ways to practice it and allow ourselves to move through the emotions to lead a more peaceful and joyful life.
