Self-care Tips

Take the time to rest and relax

Sometimes we go and go and go until our bodies and mind tell us that we need to slow down, by shutting down when we least expect it, or at a time we wish it didn’t.

After a long, busy day, ensure that you take some time to yourself to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the constant work grind you might be on.

Drink water everyday.

Drinking water helps you maximize your physical performance by keeping you hydrated. It also positively affects your energy levels and brain functioning too!

Take at least 20 minutes a day to do something you enjoy

When everything seems like a priority except ourselves, we can very quickly and easily forget to take care of ourselves.

Do something you enjoy for at least 20 minutes every day! It could be as simple as listening to your favourite songs on the way to work, watching an episode of a show or having a quick chat with a friend.

Read a book!

Get your imagination going, and your mind stimulated by getting lost in any book genre you like. There are so many to choose from! Find a good romance, mystery or action and adventure book and start reading today!

Get Active!

Go to the beach, for a bike ride, a walk or run down your block, or take a dance or fitness class.

Get your endorphines flowing through your body to ultimately put you in a better mood and state of mind.

Say no when you need to!

It’s okay to refuse to do something you don’t want to do or don’t have the time to do.

Don’t allow anyone to pressure you into doing something you would rather not do, and feel badly afterwards. Be selfish sometimes and ask yourself, “what do YOU want to do?”

Put down ALL electronic devices for at least 30 minutes every day!

It’s very easy to get consumed by social media and forget that life has more to offer us than Instagram, Facebook and Netflix.

During your 30 minutes (or more), you can use that time to read a book, exercise, go to the beach, go for a drive or simply go outside to feel the sunlight on your skin, the cool breeze and take in the scenery and sounds.

Ask for help when you need it.

Asking for help can be extremely difficult at times. We need to be honest with ourselves and realize when enough is enough and not burn the candle at both ends. Remember, asking for help shows strength and self-awareness, NOT weakness.

Talk to someone if you need to.

A strong support system, friends, family and other colleagues, help us get through the overwhelming and frustrating situations. Confide in them, or call us at Guiding Lanes if you need to talk.
