Self-care;\u00a0<\/strong>it\u2019s\u00a0where you look after yourself and meet the needs and wants that you have. When it comes to\u00a0well-being, self-care is important. It encourages feelings of belonging, improves self-worth,\u00a0and stress. As well as improving other aspects of your mental and physical health.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Following through with self-care can be difficult and knowing how to make\u00a0self-care stick can be a challenge.\u00a0Here are some tips that can help you follow through with self-care;\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Setting reminders;<\/strong>\u00a0Having a physical reminder as to when you do self-care\u00a0helps you to\u00a0keep\u00a0your word. It allows you to keep track of your responsibilities whilst making sure that you take time for yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Schedule;\u00a0<\/strong>Creating a schedule for when you fit in self-care can help you make the time for it. It allows you to have self-care at the forefront of your mind and\u00a0overtime;\u00a0it\u2019ll\u00a0start becoming second nature to you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Support;\u00a0<\/strong>Involving other people in doing self-care activities allows you to hold each other accountable. It\u00a0allows\u00a0everyone to\u00a0prop each other\u00a0up, to encourage each\u00a0other\u00a0and to allow yourself to have fun with others whilst you do it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Rewards;\u00a0<\/strong>Giving yourself rewards can motivate you, boost\u00a0your mood\u00a0and\u00a0increase dopamine levels. The increase in dopamine levels is linked to happiness, memory\u00a0retention,\u00a0and can reinforce positive\u00a0behaviors. Overall, it allows you to feel good about yourself.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Self-care is all about finding out what works for you and putting things in place to help yourself\u00a0in the long run, not just in the short term.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0about making sure that it is manageable to make it more sustainable for you\u00a0going\u00a0forward.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0about starting off small and then building on that to make it stick and for self-care to not fall off your priority list.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
