Positive Things You Can Do For Yourself

Many of us are givers. Everything we do is for someone else. Which leaves us no time or energy to even think of ourselves.

Why you need to do things for yourself

Practicing self care is important for your physical and mental health, but sometimes it takes some mindset shifts about putting yourself first. Many people who are busy with work and family feel that self care is selfish. But doing things for yourself helps to make you a better person so you be at your best for the people around you.

​

What are some things that you can do for yourself?

Mindset coaches Marc and Angel Chernoff suggest some things you can do for yourself. Here are some of my favourite ideas:

​

• Spend time with positive people, ones who encourage and support you. 

• Be honest with yourself. It doesn’t help you if you are telling yourself lies. If you are telling yourself that you’ve tried everything to lose weight and it's not working, it’s probably not true.

• Make happiness a priority. Check out this article for ways that you can nurture happiness.

• Live in the present. You can spend too much time worrying about the future or beating yourself up about what you did wrong in the past. Instead, appreciate what is happening right now.

• Take breaks when you need to. If you feel stressed out, step back and give yourself a minute to breathe. This slowing down can slow your anxious thoughts so you can focus on what you need to do.

• Believe that you are ready for the next step. People who believe they are capable of making changes are much more likely to make those changes than ones who think they can’t. 

• Work towards your goals every day. Every day do one small thing that will get you closer to meeting your goals.
