Be Proud, but Never Stop Improving Yourself

This journey never ends.

anything you chase, beg or worry for will be repulsed by your vibration.

Self care can be as simple as taking a nice warm bath after a long day, making a nutritious meal, or choosing to go to bed early rather than going out drinking with your friends. It emphasises small decisions and habits that prioritise all aspects of health and involve putting yourself first.

I feel like these days it’s so easy to overlook self care, as we all have so many responsibilities and a never-ending to-do list. However, I can’t express enough how important self care is, and trust me, if you make time for just a few small acts of self care each day, you will see the benefits and feel so much better.

Here are some examples of some of my favourite simple self-care habits that you can incorporate into your life to show yourself some love:

- stretch when you wake up in the morning: just pick 5 different stretches each day to keep it simple

- journaling: you can find journal prompts on the internet to get more specific or you can just let your mind go and vent about anything you want

- drinking ice water: adding some ice to your water can make it a lot more refreshing especially in summer and keeps your body hydrated

- go to bed early: I know it can be tempting to watch episode after episode of your favourite show, but the next day you will regret not getting a good sleep

- take some time to be present: whether this is meditation or just simply taking the time to notice what is happening around you, or what day it is can help you be more mindful and present

- moving your body everyday: remember not to force yourself, but going for a nice little walk or doing a quick video workout might make you feel better:)

- cook your favourite meal: it’s important to consume a healthy diet, but remember to allow yourself to eat whatever you feel like, because a restrictive mindset isn’t healthy nor self care

- take it easy on yourself: if you don’t want to workout today, don’t fret over it, or if you’re just too tired to study right now, take a break, the world won’t end :)

Remember self care doesn’t have to be getting up at 5am, going for a run, showering and having a green smoothie (although if it is, that’s great too!), as self care is subjective and it should be about doing what your mind and body need rather than what looks good on instagram. 

What I refer to as my fear of speaking is not being afraid of speaking in front if a crowd or making a presentation. Speeches can be prepared in advance. I am more concerned about speaking with people on normal basis. For example the way I reply to questions people ask, or answer questions that seem like nothing much, yet worry if my answers would create my own problem in the future. Can you…
