Did you know there's 4 types of self care? Lets discuss them below.

PHYSICAL SELF CARE

Physical self-care is taking care of our bodies which is a large component of self care, but it doesn't have to include a vigorous exercise routine. The key to self-care should be something you enjoy.

Some ideas:

• Trying a new healthy recipe

• A workout, yoga or a dance class

• Going on a mindful walk or a bike ride

• Taking a warm bath with your fav bath bomb

EMOTIONAL SELF CARE

Emotional self-care is about checking in with yourself, becoming more mindful of your thinking patterns and triggers, and finding ways to work through them, rather than bottling them up inside.

Some ideas:

• Journalling – writing down our feelings

• Being creative through painting or writing

• Replacing the negative with positive self-talk

• Setting more boundaries – it’s okay to say no

SPIRITUAL SELF CARE

Spiritual self-care nourishes your soul and helps you find inner peace. When you practice spiritual self care, you are striving for inner peace & seeking to find purpose and meaning in life.

Some ideas:
