Self-care is not selfish: It’s imperative to save the practice of medicine
In this hectic paced life, we all are in a hurry and trying to manage all things in life. But in this chaos, we forget the most important thing, that being - to manage and look after ourselves. After all, we are exhausting ourselves- mind, body and soul to make it all happen and fulfil all our personal and professional objectives in time. So, what's our rescue plan? The answer is simple, self-care. But, what is self-care?
What is self-care?
Self-care is anything that you do- to yourself, for yourself and by your self. Just like the preamble of our Indian constitution, the only difference is you are the ruling government and the public at the same time.And the best part is there are no law authorities involved.
Jokes apart, this is what self-care is all about.
All things that calm you down and brings joy in your life.
Why one practice self-care?
There are countless benefits of self-care and nowadays it's even called self-love, as you express gratitude to your self by giving time to your self and doing those things that make you happy.
Some of the benefits include-
Brings positivity in life
Reduces stress levels
Brings calmness
Increases the sense of balance between body and mind
Improves concentration power
Makes you more productive.
Keeps ailments at bay
One feels energized and refreshed
Diminishes fatigue
One becomes more aware
Ways of self-care:
Reconnect with your self:
In this busy life, we often forget who we are and are always in a hurry to complete our daily tasks. In all this hustle and bustle, we don't even have the time to reconnect with ourselves and to things we like doing.
Try to take a break, even if it's on weekends and reconnect with yourself by doing the things that you love, even if it's taking a nap during the day.
Re-think that schedule:
Sometimes we don't realise this, but we tangle ourselves by taking a lot of work in our hands, thinking we can do it all and in a day. Try and avoid this, plan your day according to your capacity. In all this, we forget that after all we are human and our body and mind need rest too.
So, take breaks in between whenever you are on a tight schedule and don’t forget to your medicine, if you are on any. You can even save some time and order your medicines from 3MEDS home delivery medicine shop of India
Enjoy your meal:
We are always in a rush and often gulp in our food, especially breakfast so that we can reach on time. Some of us even skip breakfast. I agree we all live in the era of a busy life. But at least exclude your meal or eating time from such notions and try to enjoy and eat properly.
Once in a while try and have that long and warm bath:
Those who take long and warm baths will agree with me, that how relaxed and refreshed it feels afterwards. A warm bath helps in relieving muscle tension, lowers blood pressure, improves blood circulation and even helps in promoting healthier and clearer skin.
Try and take a warm bath with lukewarm water, as it help you to sleep faster.
Book a massage appointment:
If you are a big fan of massages and want to treat your self and your body with a full body massage, then go ahead make an appointment, give your self some self-love.
Massages help in relieving nerve compression and give relief from tight muscles and improve blood circulation too.
Talk about your feelings:
Don't suppress your feelings talk to someone even if it's your spouse or any other family member or your close friend. And if you think you want professional help then don't hesitate, mental health is equally important as physical health. Go, visit a counsellor and get that all out of your system.
Go out and enjoy:
We all have a bucket list of places that we want to explore, but that list keeps bulking up and we never find the time or energy to make such plans. Drop everything once in a while and go to that place which is on your list. Experience life, and as they say - life is not just about working and paying bills.
Dance it out:
Even if you don't how to dance, play any music you like and move freely on those beats. The dance will bring that smile on your face and you'll feel energized and happy afterwards.
Practice stillness (meditation):
Yes, meditation is one of the effective ways to bring calmness and a sense of balance back, which goes out of the window as soon as the our day starts and by the end of the day you feel exhausted. So, try and practice meditation in the morning as it will keep you centered and increase your mental capacity.
De-clutter:
Open that wardrobe or that inbox and get rid of all the junk and all those unnecessary things, even your medicine cabinet.Throw away all the expired tablets or those which are no longer needed and if you want medicines at your doorstep then visit 3MEDS and order away.
Conclusion:
Do something different once a while and practice self-care. And if you are on any medications take them on time, now you don’t even have to drag your self to the drug store, just buy medicines online at 3MEDS
Bring back that sense of a simple and happy life.
.SELF-CARE IS THE BEST CARE.
