With the pandemic still looming large in our lives, and many of us experiencing a lot of upheavals when it comes to our family and finances, it\u2019s perfectly understandable if you\u2019ve let things slip when it comes to your own self-care. But as 2022 approaches, make the resolution to start putting yourself first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn what self-care means to you<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are articles about self-care everywhere. And if they\u2019re to be believed, it\u2019s all about getting a manicure and a facial. It\u2019s true, that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/birthyoudesire.com\/focus-on-taking-care-of-yourself\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">self-care is important<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but it encompasses so much more than this. As well as taking the time to give yourself a little pampering, self-care is a chance to reset your body and your mind. Self-care can involve indulging in a hobby, and working on your mental health as well as your physical health too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get out of the habit of thinking that looking after yourself is a \u2018treat\u2019 or something you have to earn by taking care of everything and everyone else in your life. Self-care should be a regular part of your life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get on top of your issues<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are experiencing issues with your mental health or have developed substance abuse due to the additional stresses of this past year, you need to address these with a professional. Facilities such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunshinebehavioralhealth.com\/texas\/amarillo\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.sunshinebehavioralhealth.com\/texas\/amarillo\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be an option or your doctor can refer you to a specialist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn to say no<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people are, by nature, people pleasers. We say yes to everything, no matter how much extra stress it puts on us. Learn to recognize when saying yes isn\u2019t in your best interests and say no instead. It\u2019s a very freeing experience and you\u2019ll be reaping the benefits immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take control of your career<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We spend a lot of time at work, so why should we be doing something we don\u2019t love. You owe it to yourself to find a role that works for you. This might mean going for a promotion at work, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/adunolaadeshola\/2020\/02\/25\/7-glaring-signs-you-took-the-wrong-job\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">finding a new job<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or changing careers entirely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do nothing else this year, decide what you want to do and make a start. If you want to change careers, you probably can\u2019t do this overnight, but you can start acquiring the skills you need to eventually make the move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do what you love<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you didn\u2019t have to go out to work or do laundry, what would you be doing right now? Work out what is important to you and try to incorporate more of it into your life. This could be spending more time with your kids or taking up a hobby. After all, life is about balance and if you\u2019re not spending the time doing the things you love, you\u2019re soon going to feel burned out and resentful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get over the feeling that looking after yourself is somehow selfish or self-indulgent. It isn\u2019t, it\u2019s vital. If you want to be a good friend, mother, sister, wife, employee, etc, then you need to look after yourself and be happy in your own skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is a partnered post.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2021 has been another strange year for the world.
