How do you practice self-care?
We exercise muscles, or some do so I understand 🤣, but we forget to exercise the mind. As we are one single package held together by skin, it’s important that we look after the whole shebang.
By exercising the mind I don’t just mean continuing to give it new information, I mean feeding it things it likes, that make it happy.
Good thoughts are the equivalent of good food.
Boredom is bad for the mind. It’s the equivalent of never leaving your sofa.
If the mind is sluggish then the body will be too. Anyone who exercises will tell you that the mind gets a massive dose of endorphins, the feel good factor, when you exercise. Which obviously means that the mind and body are not separate issues, they’re one whole us.
Protect your mind at all times and all costs. No matter what, don’t be near anything or anyone that affects it for too long. Tolerance is one thing, self-harm is quite another. I know too many good people torn apart by the attitude of others.
If I’d realised this when I was younger I would be living an entirely different life. My levels of tolerance are far too high. I don’t expect others to be perfect but by the same token if you won’t heal yourself you don’t get to harm me.
As a whole, take care of the whole.
