self esteem help books
We get so busy taking care of others and our careers that we tend to forget ourselves. Many people consider taking care of self as self indulgence. Not anymore. Self care helps us to improve our relationship with others, changes our outlook towards life, helps us to venture new dimensions and think positively.
Ideas For Self Care
Here are few tips for self care which you could try at home.
* Always try express your feelings. Never suppress them. It is important to share your happiness or sadness with your close friends and other family members.
* Find time for some activity which refreshes your body and mind. Activities could be indoor or outdoor play. Remember ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’.
* Avoid comparing yourself with other people as that could lead to self-disgust. Never under-estimate yourself. It’s better to have a role model in life to help you improve.
* Learn to say ‘no’ to others when you are forced to do something against your will.
* Find time for exercising like a walk, cycling or even climbing the stairs. This helps to refresh your mind and body. An exercise helps to change your mood.
* Always remember everybody commits mistake and no man is perfect. So, it is fine to commit mistakes as you learn from them.
* Never let others rule you or expect high from you. Always try to do your best rather than living according to others expectations.
* Try to laugh. Never miss a chance to laugh at yourself. Laughing is the best and cheapest tonic for good health.
* Try to be a kind and compassionate person to others. Try to encourage others in their efforts as this will help to boost your self-esteem.
* Cultivate a hobby in your life. Hobbies help to unleash and improve your creativity. This adds zest to your life.
* Most important thing in self care is to find time for spiritual life. Always find time for a silent pray as it provides courage to face difficulties in life. Be grateful to the Almighty for His blessings.
* Find time to relax to ward off all your tensions and worries. Keeping your eyes closed and doing deep breathing while relaxing helps a lot. When relaxing try to find a place that is comfortable and provides you complete relaxation.
* Try creating a supporting and loving environment in your home. Organize all the things in their own place so that you need not waste precious time and energy searching for them. And also try to fill your home especially your room with things you like a lot.
* Always be grateful to others who have helped you. Never miss a chance to thank them for their help.
* Try to forgive others who have harmed you. Also, never forget to say sorry to others if you have hurt them.
* Reading motivational and inspirational books or articles can help to boost your motivation.
Try to indulge in self care once in a while. Remember life is lived just once, so live it to the fullest.
