What Are the Benefits of Self-Care?

Self-care may sound like a fluffy wellness word, but experts emphasize it’s deeply important. Without self-care, someone can feel burned out, depressed or anxious. Many people also find that their relationships suffer when they don’t take time for self-care.

Taking good care of yourself is crucial for having the physical, mental, and emotional energy to accomplish your goals. Just like a car needs regular maintenance to run properly, so do we. Without self-care, we break down.

Self-Care Ideas: The Types of Self-Care

  • Physical: This type of self-care is taking care of your body - getting enough sleep, making sure to work movement into your day, and fueling your body with nourishing food.
  • Mental: It starts with paying attention to how you’re talking to yourself.
  • Emotional: It is about understanding your emotions. Journaling and therapy are examples of emotional self-care.
  • Spiritual: Connecting to a higher purpose can be a form of self-care. For some people, this is tied to religion, but it doesn’t have to be.
  • Social: It involves spending time with people you enjoy.
  • Financial: It involves budgeting, financial planning, and managing debt.

Ways to Practice Self-Care Ideas

  • Get 8 hours of sleep a night.
  • Go for a walk in nature. Incorporating movement into your routine is important for physical self-care
  • Eat a nutrient-rich meal. Not getting enough essential nutrients can lead to feeling mentally and physically drained.
  • Listen to a podcast. This is an example of mental self-care, and it can be done at the same time as physical self-care.
  • Meditate.
  • Journaling is an effective form of emotional self-care because it can help you process and understand your emotions.
  • If you have religious beliefs, connecting with like-minded individuals at a church, temple or mosque is a way to practice spiritual and social self-care.
  • Volunteer in your area.
  • Meet a friend for coffee. Studies show a direct link between friendships and life satisfaction.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Jamyson Haug
