Self-care, self-love, self-support, self-nurturing or hygge… whatever you want to call it, it’s one of the greatest investments you can make for your physical, mental and emotional health & wellbeing.
Because when you nurture yourself, you’re better equipped to help others. But, self-care isn’t all about rewarding yourself at the end of a hard day or stressful week. It’s about engaging in something that is self-supportive and looks after your own needs first.
Sleep is one of the best things you can do from a self care perspective but it’s also one of the areas that is most likely to be neglected. The recommended amount of shut eye is eight hours a night (preferably more!) but lots of us are falling far short of this and it’s having a massive impact on almost every aspect of wellbeing, from health to weight.
Do you tend to start off the year with a lot of excitement and enthusiasm about what you’ll change and find your motivation waning by February? If this sounds familiar, your willpower may not be the real problem. It may be down to your choice of resolution(s) in the first place, especially if you’re picking ones that are likely to end in disappointment in the long run. These tips should help you to create resolutions that you find a lot easier to keep!
