“Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list.” Michelle Obama

Motivation Mondays: Self-Care #MentalHealthAwareness

There isn’t anybody out there who doesn’t have a mental health issue, whether it’s depression, anxiety, or how to cope with relationships. Having OCD is not an embarrassment anymore – for me. Just know that there is help and your life could be better if you go out and seek the help. Howie Mandel

This is mental health awareness month, and self-care is an important facet of maintaining our health on all levels. It begins with our thoughts, our actions, and our emotional state. If we take time to nurture our bodies and our minds, we will be giving ourselves a much needed boost.
Mental health is a powerful driver of our development, sense of security and well-being. When we feel unsure or unstable, the impact flows into all areas of our lives. It affects our relationships with our friends and family, it affects our interactions with our children, and it impinges on our workplace as well as on our sense of self.
The challenge many face, has to do with the stigma and shame that still come with publicly owning our mental health story/struggle. In many parts of the world, it remains a taboo subject. This is why we must keep speaking up and out.
If we value our mind, body and spirit, we must continue to speak up and remind each other to begin with self-care.

 

“Self-esteem is as important to our well-being as legs are to a table. It is essential for physical and mental health and for happiness.” Louise Hart

Motivation Mondays: Self-Care #MentalHealthAwareness

Self-care is a conscious decision we must take to make our lives easier and whole. It is grounded in our self-esteem or our perception of same. Our self-esteem is inextricably tied to our mental health, and when we are unable to care for ourselves, we see the impact; it flows into everything and disrupts our efforts at self-care. Don’t give up. Fight it.
When we set aside ME Time for rest, exercise, check ups and self nurturing activities, we are performing actions that can help extend our lives and support our mental and personal health care needs.
However, we must take action. We must be both proactive and protective about our mental health concerns, issues and needs. The more we treat ourselves with care and consideration, the more likely we will be able to create balance and feelings of wellness in our lives. The more we focus on actions and thoughts that nourish our self-esteem, the greater the positive impact will be on our lives.

“The problem with the stigma around mental health is really about the stories that we tell ourselves as a society. What is normal? That’s just a story that we tell ourselves.” Matthew Quick

Motivation Mondays: Self-Care #MentalHealthAwareness

Motivation Mondays: Self-Care #MentalHealthAwareness

Mental health is an area where people are embarrassed. They don’t want to talk about it because somehow they feel they’re a failure as a parent or, you know, they’re embarrassed for their child or they want to protect their child, lots of very good reasons, but mental health, I feel, is something that you have to talk about. Anna Wintour

 

When we talk about self-care, we must remember to talk about mental health as a critical component of self-care. It is not enough to go to a spa and enjoy the R&R they offer, we must also ensure that all areas of our lives are in check. We must do the same for our loved ones. By becoming an advocate for our own well-being, we will become emboldened to advocate for our children and others in need of mental health care.
If I’m stressed out, anxious about issues in my life, and struggling with unresolved matters, seeking professional guidance should be an important part of the healing process. If I seek the appropriate guidance to help me deal with my stress, I will stand a much better chance of gaining control over my life.
It is NOT a sign of weakness to ask for help. Those who do seek help are able to learn long term coping strategies and then go on to live productive lives. So, during this season of change and mental health awareness be vigilant about your needs and get all the help you can. Self-care is your birth right and it can save your life.

    Self care may sound easy but I think most of us lack self care or when we think of it,we might be taking care of the outer appearance and forget what`s inside which i believe is more important.

    This is a great reminder for us women, especially moms, who tend to forget about self-care because we’re busy caring for our family. And it’s important to note that self-care goes beyond getting a massage or a getting your nails done. It’s about our bodies and our minds as a whole. 🙂

    Self care is very important. When people don’t do self care, their self esteem goes down and the more it goes down, the more that no self care happens. It’s a vicious cycle but hopefully, more people will learn the art of loving themselves.

    When I feel like I am being overwhelmed by life and responsibilities I usually take a break and go away by myself for a few days to regroup my thoughts and get some perspective. I have known a few people over the years who suffered from depression or anxiety and were too ashamed to seek professional help because they felt somehow stigmatized by it.

    Self-care is the most important care, I think we get so busy with other projects and helping others. We forget that we need to take care of ourselves, especially mentally. Sometimes we just need to take some time and evaluate our own mental state. It’s also important to understand that it is not weak to ask for help. Sometimes there is such a stigma, but there is nothing wrong with admitting that you need help from an outside source.

I think the biggest one for me is definitely asking for help … I love that you mentioned how it’s not weak to ask for help and I couldn’t agree more! I think it actually shows great strength to recognize you need it and to reach out.

    Self care is so important. You can’t take care of anyone else, if you don’t take care of you! That’s why I started my “Treat Yourself Tuesday” blog post series. To remind others (and myself!) to take time for self care and love <3

    Truly important topic and I see myself here in so many ways. There are so many dos and dont’s out there and just managing all that life put on our shoulders can sometimes be hard. Still if you do not feel good about yourself, care about yourself and your mental state it is hard to perform and to be good vs others. I have become better during my years but still easy to forget this so great to put some structure to it!

    Self care truly matters because when you care for yourself, you set the tone for the people around you. They know how to treat you, they know what your boundaries are and they will respect you. If everyone did this, there would be more harmony and peace in the world.

    It can be a daily battle, especially as a stay at home or work at home mom to remember that you need to take care of yourself. I always have issues like this. I can’t remember when was the last time I even went to see the doctor when it wasn’t in conjunction with being pregnant or in childbirth. It really can add to the stress a woman feels when she forgets to take care of herself.

    That is so true! We need to set aside some me time to recharge from all the errands, appointments, and commitments. Taking some time to self-care is important for our physical and mental health.

    It took me a long time to embrace the concept of self-care because I always felt guilty about spending time or resources on myself when there were others who needed my assistance. I knew I had to change my focus when I felt the first glimmer of resentment towards my family obligations and how much they felt like a weight on my shoulders.

    For me, self care is close to being non-existent. I know I should take better care of myself and by not doing so, it has given me all sorts of illness. However, my current situation is akin to “caring for the needs of others at the expense of my own well-being.”

    This is well-written. Even though we are all busy with family, career, and other stuff, we must really make time for ourselves too. This post makes me wanna take a day off and have a massage!

    Self care is often times the most neglected aspect of a woman’s life and I am also guilty of it. Feeling so energised and motivated to do better with my time and thus, take better care of myself. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

    A topic just in time! I’ll have to agree with you that indeed, self care is a conscious decision that we just have to make. And I feel like moms should try and have more time for themselves. They juggle between lots of work and forget about taking care of themselves. That’s why I love treating my mom out so that she can get time to unwind and embrace herself more.

    I’ve met moms who’ve felt guilty because they take time for themselves. There’s nothing wrong with making time for you. It’s actually a blessing when you can 🙂

    I am a regular reader of your blog. In fact, your words are my daily dose of positivity. I have felt weak and asked for help. I suffer from anxiety disorder and I have seen the worst of myself because of them. But I have learned that I have to fight my own battle and I can only do it if I remain positive. 🙂

    Bit by bit I’ve been changing up my routine to incorporate me time into my day. Sometimes it’s as simple as putting on a face mask and taking a nap. It can be challenging working from home but it’s worth it for my peace of mind and overall wellbeing.

    Self-care is always the most important we need to do in our life. I’m not saying we need to be narcissistic but of course, before loving others we need to give importance to ourselves first.

    Self-care is the bets love that we can give to our self, and a way of being grateful for the nature who give us life. When we care about ourselves, we learn to care about others.

    It took me a long time to realize I needed to take care of myself. I wasn’t doing any good for others if I didn’t give my mind, body and spirit what it needed. I slowed down my go, go, go mentality. Life has been so much easier since I did that.

    I think most people don’t know where to start when it comes to self care. We are all somehow subliminally taught to put others first and lose sight of taking care of ourselves.

    Self care isn’t always as easy to do as we think. Firstly you need to allocate the time for this which can be the hardest part. The good thing is you’d don’t need much time.

    So true that we do need to take care of ourselves if we are to be of any use to helping those we love and care about. Mental health is obviously a key part of this and ensuring we are ok in this area is critical and linked also to our physical well being. Good post with including relevant quotes on this subject.
