“Accept Yourself, Love Yourself, And Keep Moving Forward. If You Want to Fly, You Have To Give Up What Weighs You Down”- Roy T. Bennett.

When it comes to your health, self-care can help you manage stress, decrease your risk of getting sick, and increase your energy level. The first topic I’m going to cover is the importance of connecting and socializing with friends and family. Having a positive peer group is important. Sometimes it’s easy to become isolated with one’s own thoughts and feelings. Spending time with others can inspire and motivate, help boost self esteem, create a sense of value, and decrease stress levels. Make sure you are making those connections, and are spending time with family and friends. The second topic I’m going to discuss is the importance of a good night’s sleep. Sleep is a key factor in making good decisions. Sleep deprivation can increase anxiety and lead to other health related problems. Sleep is important to mental and physical health. Sleep helps maintain cognitive skills, such as attention, learning, and memory. Just as our phones need to be charged, sleep recharges our brains to help us function throughout the day. The third topic is the importance of staying hydrated. Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons. Your body needs water to function properly. Dehydration can lead to confusion, dizziness, and low blood pressure. It’s a good idea to constantly refill your water bottle every hour. Take advantage of these self care ideas. Always make sure your physical and mental well being is a priority.
