This September 2023 is Self-Care Awareness Month

Being Aware of Yourself It's important to remember that taking care of ourselves first and foremost is important during September. Self-care is frequently overlooked in our daily lives.  True self-care is just keeping yourself at the centre of your own life; it is neither self-centred nor selfish. It involves being mindful of your feelings at any given time, speaking up for yourself, speaking plainly, and answering questions honestly. Make self-care a regular practice and include it into your routine starting this month of September. It might be as simple as taking a few deep breaths when you wake up or as opulent as scheduling some time away from the stresses of daily life. A kinder world will result from the kindness we extend to ourselves. Check out these suggestions for encouraging self-care in your life so that you can leave feeling rejuvenated and ready to contribute more to the world's good. 1. Attempt meditation Life may be loud. Many people do not experience perfect silence for the entire day. There is constant noise to divert our attention, from kids playing outside to automobile radios. Give yourself some time to calm down by meditating. This is a quick and simple technique to concentrate on you.  2. Visit a Friend  Consider the last time you phoned someone just to catch up. Then, pick up the phone and contact the friend you think you might be missing. Getting in touch with them can be advantageous for both of you.  3. Exercise Using "No" Although it frequently has a poor rap, saying "no" can be quite beneficial for your emotional wellbeing. Put all of your effort into the thing that makes you the happiest and most excited rather than spreading yourself too thin across five other initiatives. Everyone needs a break, so think carefully about whether or not taking on anything new or going to an event will be beneficial for your health and well-being.  Remember, self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity for a balanced and fulfilling life. Embrace it this September and beyond, and watch how it positively impacts your well-being and your ability to contribute to the greater good of the world.
