Self-care is not selfish

-

 



Prioritizing self-care means actively taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It involves making intentional choices and actions that promote your overall health and happiness. 


Some key aspects


Physical self-care:

Taking care of your body is essential. This includes getting regular exercise, eating nutritious meals, getting enough sleep, and attending to your physical health needs.


Emotional self-care:

This involved engaging in activities that brings you joy and fulfillment. Taking time to engage in hobbies, practice mindfulness or meditation. 


Mental self-care:

Caring for your mental well-being is vital. This can include engaging in activities that stimulate your mind, such as reading, learning new skills, or solving puzzles. Setting boundaries with technology and taking breaks from screens can also be beneficial. 


Social self-care:

Building and maintaining healthy relationships is an important aspect of self-care. Surrounding yourself with positive and supportive people, nurturing meaningful connections, and engaging in social activities that bring you happiness can enhance your well-being. It's also important to set boundaries and prioritize your own needs in social interactions.


Time management:

Allocating time for self-care activities and ensuring that your personal needs are met can help prevent burnout and maintain a healthy work-life balance.


Saying NO:

Learning to say no is an important aspect of self-care. It's okay to set boundaries and decline commitments that overwhelm you or don't align with your priorities. Respecting your own limitations and protecting your time and energy is crucial for maintaining well-being.


Self-reflection:

Take time to assess your goals, values, and overall satisfaction in life. This self-awareness can guide you in making choices that align with your personal growth and fulfillment.


Remember, self-care is not selfish.

It is essential for maintaining your well-being, which in turn allows you to show up as your best self in your relationships, work, and other areas of life. By prioritizing self-care, you are better equipped to

Handle stress

Maintain balance

Lead a happier and mores fulfilling life.

Make Your Tears a Smile

Happiness comes at times to us, but sadness comes unbidden; Remember that amidst the smile, a few tears must drop If at times you feel you want to cry because life is such a trial, Remember that above the clouds, there is a bright blue sky Don’t give up If a friend have sadness written on their face Because trouble round them pile up; Remember that the world would be a better place to them if you smile and assure them that all will be well As you travel on life’s compulsory journey Filled with ups and down Remember that before a gold becomes the gold you so much admire, it went through fire So don’t give up because there is a light at the end of the tunnel When you keep aiming for something and all seems not to work according to your plans Remember that good things of life doesn’t come easily, make your effort worthwhile Make your tear a smile Smile is very cheap amongst the world’s expensive gift And you don’t know whose world you are lighting up with your s...

AIM LIKE THE SPIDER

I was sitting on the 13th floor alone Brooding about life, When a spider caught my attention. It climbed to the 13th floor and kept climbing even with the storm out there. It climbed back up every time it fell. Why does the spider climb so high? Striving to get to the top? Why is it is going that high? It probably thinks it can get a better catch up there; Or maybe it believes it can just keep going and going till it get there. Well, that’s what I chose to believe. The spider did not stop till it got to the final floor. Only a small thinker believes there is a particular height to be attained or a particular height is hard to be attained.  Never stop climbing till you get to the top. When you get to that top you have been aiming for, Aim for something greater than that top and never stop climbing Be like the spider and don’t hesitate to devour whatever challenges that may come your way Don’t give up Maiden Wura

  The experience of waiting is an essential part of life, whether it's awaiting a response to a job application, anticipating medical test results, or hoping for a decision on a significant life event. The waiting period can feel endless, testing one's patience and resilience. This is what it's like when there's no timeframe for the waiting period. It's like being stuck in a never-ending loop of uncertainty. The main challenge of waiting without a timeframe stems from the uncertainty it creates. As humans, we naturally crave certainty and predictability, so when there's no clear deadline, it goes against our instincts. Waiting without a timeframe can have detrimental effects on mental and emotional well-being. The prolonged uncertainty and lack of closure can take a toll on one's mental health, leading to increased levels of stress, anxiety, hopelessness, frustration and even depression . It becomes increasingly challenging to maintain a positive outlook and...
