Hello Readers!
So today I want to address something that has been weighing heavily on my mind. Mental health and self care. As some of you know me and D2 are expecting. I am down to the last two three weeks of pregnancy and I have really been struggling the last nine months with mental health. Anxiety is always been one of my weaknesses but with being pregnant more than ever.
So I have been thinking on this post and really sitting on ways to help boost mental health care and how it ties in heavily with self care. There are several types of self care it is not just a spa day. In this post I wanted to cover the basics on each category of self care and then in following posts I want to cover different activities and things you can do to take care of yourself and hopefully get into a better mental state.
Now I am not a doctor and I am not a psychologist and I do encourage you to seek the proper mental health care. Rather it be your primary care or a therapist there is no shame in it. I see a counselor. I actively and openly talk about my mental state because over the years I have learned if I don't the results can be detrimental. So always seek a professionals help! This post is solely for the purposes to help you find some mental clarity!
There are eight self care categories.
3. Physical
4. Sensory
5. Social
6. Spiritual
7. Practical
8. Pampering Yourself - This one is kind of spread out in all Categories. There are several ways to pamper yourself.
This year brings us a new decade, so with that we really need to learn to start caring for ourselves....We spend so much time worrying about and stressing about everyone else that we really need to just stop and say
HEY I NEED TO FOCUS ON ME!!!

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, too little importance is given to sanity which, as much as physical health, affects our life.
