You can’t overstate the importance of self care in your life.
With the focus on physical fitness, often times your mental health and well-being can be overlooked. Here are a few tips on balancing your personal life and self care in your day to day.
But what exactly is self care? The idea behind self care is simple-doing things to improve your happiness, self worth, and overall well being.
One of the easiest things that you can do for self care is meditation. Meditation silences the outside influences in your life and can allow you to get back in touch with your body and your mind and really narrow in on what your body and mind actually need.
One of the best ways to meditate is through breathing. But the thing is, you are probably breathing incorrectly. Because of stress in your day to day life, people often take shallow breaths from their chest when in fact, you should be breathing deep in your stomach. Stomach breathing relaxes the body and activates the sympathetic nervous system which is key for relaxation.
