3 self care types
Good self care has 3 main components: receiving, attending, and giving.
Keep close tabs on these 3 components of self care, for when you do the relationships that mean the most to you will strengthen and blossom.
Receiving
It is a proven fact that you have to receive from others in order to be healthy.
There are so many resources that you need which comes from accepting the help + assistance from others.
But you first must allow yourself to receive those blessings.
You do this by:
Receiving their generosity with gratefulness and pay it forward to someone who is in need of it.
Accept others blessings with thanks no matter how out of control it makes you feel.
- Be understanding knowing that others value of gifts may differ from yours.
Attending
It is crucial to attend to your own legitimate needs. Your body, mind + heart send you signals with helpful information that can guide you in taking care of yourself.
Listen carefully, get to know your signals, then act appropriately.
You do this by:
Attend to your basic needs for survival. Spiritual, mental, physical + emotional. This may seem elementary, but it is really the foundation.
Recognize your feelings, ask yourself what triggers your reactions + act upon a healthy solution.
Giving
There’s no way that you can truly take care of yourself without giving + serving others. Relationships keep self care from degenerating into selfishness.
You take care of yourself so that you have something to give to others.
You do this by:
Have a purposeful plan each night before you go to bed of who or what you will share your gifts with the next day.
Have a giving jar. Choose a charity of choice and donate each time the jar gets full.
As you journal in the evening, take time to write what you are grateful for + how you want to give back to show your gratitude.
Do you love to journal?
I am excited to share with you my self care journal where it will take journaling to the next level.
What you obtain for yourself and from others, how you care for your needs, and how you contribute to those around you are some of the most important things in self care.
This journal envelopes these 3 parts by allowing you to evaluate how you genuinely take care of yourself.
Each day you will write down how you have enveloped these 3 main areas of self care: what you obtain for yourself and from others, how you care for your needs, and how you contribute to those around you.
It is my intention to not only leverage the power of journaling, but to channel that in a way where you come out with accomplishment knowing that the power does lie in you to make the choice to be the person that you want to be.
