Self-Care Is Important To Your Mental Health

Are the people around you fueling your growth or draining your energy? Pay close attention to your inner circle and the impact they have on your well-being. Do they enhance your energy or suck the life right out of you? Do they have a positive mindset or come from a deficit model, one of limitation? Peace of mind is very important. With the economy in flux and life’s inevitable challenges, it’s essential to surround yourself with people who uplift, support, and inspire you when your energy is low or your spirit needs renewal.

WHO in your life might be draining your energy or bringing negativity into your space?? Is it a family member, partner/significant other, friend, business partner, associate, boss, colleague, classmate, or acquaintance...?

HOW do you need to refresh? Do you need a mental health "break" from the individual(s), a mental health "week/weekend" for yourself, or a complete "removal" from the person/people due to their toxicity?

WHAT self-care/mental health management tools do you use to help you refresh? Here are some examples: spa day/weekend, golf, gardening, a movie, reading a book, taking a walk, journaling, music, writing, painting, dancing, photography, drawing, exercising, cooking, meditation, etc.

Prioritize Your Self-Care Today

If journaling is one of your go-to self-care tools, consider using the 30-Day Reflections for Daily Growth Journal. This 329-page guide offers daily prompts to track your progress and reflect on your growth. It’s a perfect companion to help you maintain your self-care routine. 

Prioritize Your Self-Care Today

Sometimes, we need a gentle reminder to prioritize our well-being. Our Affirmation Cards for Self-Care and Emotional Wellness offer uplifting daily affirmations to keep you focused on your emotional well-being. Display them in your workspace or journal to keep your self-care goals front and center. 

During this self-care regime, do some self-reflection. Make the time to get to know yourself, your energy, and your mindset within your Triple P Lifestyle (personal, professional, and private). What do you need? Write it down. Are there any changes that need to be made within yourself? If so, what? Is it something you can change on your own, or would the assistance of a therapist or life coach benefit you to guide you through this process? It first starts with you.
