Self-care, a healthy lifestyle to embrace 

It's a chill Friday, and I hope you will have a relaxing weekend. Do you think we can make our lives better through self-care?

Perhaps you are in the category of people waiting for the right time to observe self-care; then you should wait no more, and I will tell you why. Life is an unending race. We are faced with daily routines that most times subject us to both physical and mental stress; however, self-care helps us improve in these areas of our lives. Year to year, month to month, and day to day, we face the hustles and bustles of life in order to make ends meet, ignoring self-care. Most of us are victims of this, including me, and before you know it, we could break down and take a compulsory rest at the clinic. Self-care simply means taking care of yourself in a way that you will live a healthier life and even be more efficient in your job.

How much rest do you observe in between works? How much sleep do you get at night in order to relax your mind and body and be totally refreshed to carry out your work efficiently? How often do you unwind? How about healthy food and fruits? Or do you belong to the junk lovers hoping to eat better when you become wealthy? Hehehe. How about a general health check once in a while, or perhaps neglecting a symptom about your health, etc.? All these are ways of taking good care of ourselves in order to improve our well-being.

The truth is that it's difficult to care for your loved ones if you don't practice self-care. The responsibilities of both our immediate and extended families don't end, bills will keep piling up, and there are basic needs we can't ignore. Yes, all of these could hinder one from taking good care of themselves on the quest to meet up, but there is not enough reason to overlook ourselves because self-care is self-love and should be one of our top priorities.

I have seen people who look down on themselves because of their physical appearance; perhaps they are too short or ugly. We are what we say we are; you can't carry yourself like a pinch of salt and expect others to carry you like a bag of salt. Love yourself no matter your physical look, add worth to yourself like no man's business, and keep desiring that kind of luxury life in the future while working towards it. Put yourself first before other, take some time alone and pamper yourself to the fullness. Even if you are an introvert, once in a while, leave your comfort zone, visit the beach, or see a movie, and be happy.

Life has no duplicate, and we ought to make every moment of our lives memorable.
