Don't let the fast paced and busy life make you forget to take care of your health and well being. Here are basic tips of selfcare activities that you can start to consistently implement!
1. Create a Gratitude List
It is always easier to pay attention to what we don't have and compare ourselves to others. It is humanly that we tend to focus on what is missing or what we are lacking. To see it in a positive way, those feelings can motivate us to always do better, achieve more, and be a better version of ourselves every day.
However, more often than not, those feelings lead us to low self-esteem and a lack of a sense of gratitude. The accumulation of those negative feelings can slowly alter our personality and we can end up having a mental breakdown.
How to prevent that? A list of the things you are grateful for will absolutely help! It is simple but can bring a great impact if we consistently remind ourselves of what we actually have, who always be there to support us, and the fact that we have great talents and positive traits in our own way. Creating a gratitude list can also make us feel proud of ourselves, get to know ourselves better, and track our milestones in life.
2. Do Something that Energizes Your Body
Keeping our body energized helps us to also energize our spirit! As many people said, "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano", which is a Latin phrase, usually translated as "a healthy mind in a healthy body".
There are many activities that we can do to energize our body: working out, cycling, doing yoga, and doing some outdoor activities. We can choose the activities that we love and consistently do that as a part of our habit.
What if we are too busy and we don't really have time on the busy weekdays? BodhiYamas therapy dough comes to the rescue! With the infused essential oils, it brings aromatherapy effects that can energize our minds. One of the most energizing fragrances is Peppermint!
Peppermint scented Therapy Dough has a cooling, refreshing effect and is widely used to enhance alertness as well as boost energy. It is a quick getaway to awaken your spirit and positive vibes on busy days.
3. Reflect on Your Personal Mission Statement
Sometimes the best thing to do to reach mindfulness is "not doing anything".
In this busy life, we are occupied and overwhelmed with all of our daily activities, fast information transmission, as well as pressure from society. Things are moving on at a face pace and at the end of the day, we don't even realize that we missed some time to connect with ourselves and reflect our personal mission statement, life philosophy, or even simply being in a mindful state.
Reflecting on our personal mission statement is very important especially to connect with ourselves. By connecting with ourselves, we also get to know ourselves better so we can understand how to love ourselves in a correct way. Our personal mission statement reminds us of our life purpose and moral compass.
4. Disconnect for a Day
Disruptive information technology often makes us overwhelmed with fast information transfer. To see it in a positive way, we can be really well-informed and keep up with the latest updates on any topic or issue that we want to know. However, without a clear mind, we can misinterpret information in a negative way. To limit us from biases, we sometimes need to take a step back and disconnect from the information network. By doing that, we will see a bigger picture of the whole information, see things from different perspectives, and make conclusions with a clear mind.
BodhiYamas therapy dough can be our company in our relaxed and mindful time. Available in six different variants of color and fragrance, we can choose the one that we love. BodhiYamas also just launched the newest variant, "Pure" therapy dough. It comes in white color and it is fragrance-free. We can add our favorite aromatherapy by mixing it with the essential oils of our choice.
5. Last but not least: Get Enough Sleep
Sleeping is super important. Normally we need 7-8 hours of sleep. However, it also depends on everyone's habits and health records. Many people overwork to the point they don't have enough sleep. Other possible problems are overthinking, anxiety, or some other mental health problems. It is highly recommended to seek an expert's assistance if we are facing such problems. Good sleeping habits and quality will bring positive impacts on our body as well as mental health. BodhiYamas "Calm" therapy dough comes with a Lavender scent. The natural Lavender scent calms you down and promotes better sleep.
