I am here to give you 7 easy ways for Your Self Care, they are very simple and I sure hope you incorporate every one to your daily life.
1- GET MOVING
Find movement you enjoy and engage in it daily.
2- SLEEP, REST, AND RELAX
When you are sleep-deprived and/or stressed, your body will crave sugary snacks and caffeine for quick artificial energy.
3- SCHEDULE FUN TIME
Boredom and stress can lead to overeating. Make sure to take time to laugh, play, and participate in activities you love.
4- TAKE A HOT SHOWER/BATH
This is a great way to engage the relaxation response and wipe out cortisol, the stress hormone at the root of weight gain.
5- MEDITATE
Meditation is another great tool to engage the relaxation response.Start with just 5 minutes each day and build your way up.
6- SPEND TIME IN NATURE
Spending time in nature connects you with the Earth and can provide a natural high. Nature is great at bringing you back to the present moment and can be a source of stress reduction.
7- HUG
Humans require physical contact, and long hugs are a great way to get it. They relax you and lead to produce happy hormones.
