We are leading very stressful and busy lives. The 10 self-care practices I will discuss in this web story can make your life positive and help you better deal with stress.
Learn to be in the present.
Sleep is the first thing we ignore when we get busy.
Sleep is essential for physical and mental health. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night. If you are not able to get a decent sleep at night, then add a nap to your schedule during the day so you can cover up on your remaining sleep.
A balanced diet is crucial for healthy living and stress-management.
A balanced diet can help you feel better physically and mentally. Make sure to include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins in your diet.
Physical activity is essential for a healthy body and mind.
Exercise can help reduce stress, boost mood, and improve overall health. Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day. If you don't have 30 mins at a stretch, you can divide it into 3 sets of 10 mins each.
Maintain a gratitude journal.
Focusing on what you are grateful for can help shift your mindset and improve your mood. Write down 5 things that you are grateful for right before you go to sleep. This will not only help reduce stress, it will also provide you better sleep.
