Fall in love with taking care of yourself 🩷
Being deeply responsible for our own personal, emotional, and physical well-being is the greatest act of self-love we can offer. Let’s explore how we can care for our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Eyes
Your eyes are your windows to the world.
Exercise your eyes regularly with simple movements such as looking from left to right without moving your head, rolling your eyes in a complete circle, or tracing figure eights can strengthen your eye muscles, increase flexibility, and reduce eye strain.
Brain
The brain is a crucial yet often overlooked component of our wellness plans. Enhancing brain wellness can lead to better sleep and improved cognition.
Simple practices like deep breathing exercises and positive self-talk can help rewire your brain for calmness and reduce anxiety.
Our brain is unique.
Emotions
Happiness, anger, sadness, fear, love, joy, excitement, etc. Our emotion is driven by the limbic system in the brain, particularly the amygdala.
Picture yourself navigating the battleground of emotions with reason and foresight, not being swayed by the heat of the emotional struggle.
We want to let rationality prevail over emotional impulses.
Feelings follow as you become aware of and interpret that emotion.
Interplay
Emotion → Feeling
Feeling → Emotion
Thoughts
Shape thoughts through reflection or gratitude practices.
What I do is offload unhelpful thoughts and replace them with positive ones through acknowledgment, acceptance, and reframing.
