Why Self-Care Is the Most Important Care

By Alexis Mills

It might sound obvious to some, but really there is nothing more important than self-care. While the majority of us can put our personal care on the back-burner for far too long, this really hurts our health and wellness in the long run. In reality, if we aren't even going to take the time to care for ourselves, how can we effectively care for others or expect them to care for us. Just like the saying that I'm sure we have all heard many times, we can't care for others if we aren't caring for ourselves. Let's break down some basics on how you can incorporate self-care into your life.

Fuel Your Mind and Body

Start to rewire your brain and think of the food you eat as fuel for your body because that's what it is! A majority of us think of it as something to enjoy, experience, and bring us together with others. While it is all of that too, the main purpose behind the food we consume is to make our mind and bodies work at their best. Start noticing which foods make you feel fueled and re-energized and which foods make you feel drained. Eating food and drinking fluids that agree with you are the ultimate form of self-care.

Figure Out a De-Stress Activity That Works for You

Stress is one of the biggest killers in our world and is a common denominator on a long list of diseases and other symptoms. That's why it is so important to find something healthy that is able to be your way to de-stress. It's inevitable that we will experience stress in our lives, but it shouldn't overpower it. Some suggestions other people enjoy are yoga, meditation, exercising, hiking, or anything else that works for you!

See a Doctor Regularly 

Let's all get this fact in our minds straight: Doctors and health professionals are here to help us, and we should use that help as much as possible. At the very least, make sure you get regular checkups to make sure you are healthy. Another tool that people don't use enough is a chiropractor. A regular trip to the chiropractor is the ultimate way to get your body to tap into its natural healing power. Routine visits to the chiropractor have more benefits than you might think, such as diminishing pain, improving range of motion, increasing flexibility, boosting your energy, and much more.
