self care ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

what exactly is self care?

self care: the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress. (googles version)

self care: self care is something that originates with you, makes you feel better and spiritually brings you closer to yourself. (my version)

self care could be a way of making yourself feel better, starting new habits, setting a new goal, and learning to love yourself. self care should be originated by you, not someone or something you see online. "the answer to your problem is never going to be someone else telling you what to do" - Dr Pooja Lakshmin, The real self care.

ideas of what to do for self care:

daily movement- going on a walk, doing some exercise, pilates, yoga are all great ways to boost moods and keep you productive.

meditation- meditation is a great way of embracing your inner self and keeping calm.

start a journal and journal everyday- journalism is a great way to achieve goals, reduce stress, and overall become a better version of yourself. ( i can give journal prompts is wanted ⊹˚. ♡)

read a good book!- i know this might sound a little nerdy or boring but reading is a great way to bust boredom and learn new things ( i can give book recommendation for different topics ⊹˚. ♡)

give yourself a positive affirmation everyday- this will improve your positive thoughts and self esteem.

do a face mask- find one for your skin type and put it on, they feel so nice and refreshing!

remember: "the answer to your problem is never going to be someone else telling you what to do"

thats all for now, thank you for reading!

no seriously though i cannot stress enough how a daily walk is not really a less healthy option than a gym membership with all the bells and whistles like if you're just trying to be healthy literally all the exercise you need to do is walk

i mentioned it there and i've mentioned it before but when my dad had his heart attack the doctors told him that all the walking he did for his job saved his life

and it was just walking. not running. not lifting weights. not even walking up and down stairs. not even pushing his limits further and further. he walked at a steady pace -- and not even a fast steady pace -- up and down sidelines to cover sports and he plateaued at however much that was per day on average and that's all he did.

and it saved his life. it made his heart healthy enough to withstand a heart attack and triple-bypass surgery and now sixteen+ years with no complications.

just walking.

you don't have to do ''exercise'' and you don't have to run and you don't need to feel like walking is somehow the weaker option or not good enough -- if your exercise goal is to improve your body's health, then walking is not only all you need to do but it's fantastic at accomplishing that goal.

#exercise #health #it's also great for your mental health to go on a walk #even if it's not feasible or safe to go on a walk outside of your house/apartment then just put on a podcast or something and walk #back and forth around the room #just walk. if you can walk then just walk. i promise you that it's enough.

STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH!

Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. -> HARVARD HEALTH

INNER BENEFITS:

Improved Flexibility: Stretching helps increase the range of motion in your joints and muscles, promoting flexibility. This can enhance your ability to perform everyday activities and maintain proper posture.

Reduced Muscle Tension and Stiffness: Stretching helps release tension in the muscles, reducing stiffness. This is especially beneficial for individuals who may experience muscle tightness due to prolonged periods of sitting or physical inactivity.

Enhanced Circulation: Stretching increases blood flow to the muscles, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients. Improved circulation contributes to better overall cardiovascular health.

Better Posture: Regular stretching can improve posture by correcting muscle imbalances and reducing the strain on specific areas, such as the neck, shoulders, and lower back.

Prevention of Injuries: Stretching before physical activity can prepare your muscles and joints, reducing the risk of injuries. It promotes better flexibility and helps your body adapt to various movements.

Increased Relaxation: Stretching, particularly when combined with deep breathing, can induce a sense of relaxation and reduce stress. It helps calm the mind and promotes mental well-being.

Enhanced Athletic Performance: Athletes often include stretching as part of their training routine to improve performance. Flexible muscles and joints contribute to better agility, balance, and coordination.

Alleviation of Aches and Pains: Stretching can be beneficial for individuals experiencing muscle discomfort or mild aches. It helps alleviate tension and can provide relief from certain types of pain.

Improved Range of Motion: Regular stretching helps maintain or increase your range of motion, allowing you to move more freely and comfortably.

Mind-Body Connection: Engaging in stretching exercises promotes a mind-body connection. Focusing on your body's movements and sensations can enhance mindfulness and reduce mental stress.

Better Circulation to Joints: Stretching helps improve blood flow to the joints, promoting joint health and flexibility. This can be especially important as you age to maintain mobility.

AESTHETIC BENEFITS:

Improved Posture: Regular stretching can help correct muscular imbalances and promote better posture. As you stand taller and align your body more effectively, your overall appearance may be enhanced.

Longer and Leaner Appearance: Stretching can create a longer and leaner appearance by elongating muscles. This may contribute to a more streamlined and graceful physique.

Reduced Muscle Tension: Stretching helps alleviate muscle tension, which can make your body look and feel more relaxed. Relaxed muscles often contribute to a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing physique.

Enhanced Muscle Definition: By increasing flexibility and range of motion, stretching may enhance muscle definition. Well-stretched muscles can appear more sculpted, especially when combined with strength training exercises.

Improved Circulation and Skin Tone: Stretching promotes better blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your skin. This improved blood flow can contribute to a healthier complexion and skin tone.

Prevention of Muscular Imbalances: Stretching can help prevent and address muscular imbalances, ensuring that your body develops proportionally. Balanced muscle development contributes to a more aesthetically pleasing physique.

Reduced Appearance of Cellulite: While not a direct solution, regular stretching may help improve blood circulation and reduce the appearance of cellulite in some individuals.

Enhanced Flexibility for Functional Movements: Improved flexibility from stretching can make functional movements more graceful. This increased ease of movement can contribute to an overall more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Relaxed Facial Expressions: Stretching, especially when combined with relaxation techniques, can contribute to a more relaxed facial expression. This can positively impact how others perceive your overall demeanour.

Elongated Muscles: Consistent stretching can give your muscles an elongated appearance, contributing to a more elegant and refined look.

PILATES, YOGA AND TAI CHI.

Pilates, yoga, and Tai Chi are three mind-body practices that offer numerous physical and mental benefits. While they share some similarities, each has it's unique principles, techniques, and focuses.

Pilates:

Focus: Pilates emphasizes core strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness.

Principles: Controlled and precise movements, breath control, and a focus on the core muscles.

Equipment: Pilates can be done on a mat or with specialised equipment like the reformer, Cadillac, and chair.

Benefits: Improved core strength, flexibility, posture, and muscular balance. It also enhances body awareness and can be beneficial for rehabilitation.

Yoga:

Focus: Yoga integrates physical postures, breath control, meditation, and ethical principles for holistic well-being.

Principles: Asanas (physical postures), pranayama (breath control), meditation, and the philosophy of mindfulness.

Styles: Various styles such as Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Kundalini offer different approaches to yoga practice.

Benefits: Increased flexibility, improved strength, stress reduction, enhanced mental clarity, and a sense of inner peace. Yoga is also known for its adaptability to different fitness levels.

Tai Chi:

Focus: Tai Chi, often referred to as "meditation in motion," is a martial art that combines slow, flowing movements with deep breathing.

Principles: Gentle and continuous movements, focused breathwork, and mindfulness.

Forms: Tai Chi involves practising specific sequences of movements or forms.

Benefits: Improved balance, flexibility, coordination, and relaxation. It is often recommended for fall prevention and is associated with stress reduction and enhanced mental well-being.

i really wish mental health discourse wasn’t divided into the two polarities of: “everything you do and say and every way you behave is completely valid bc you have ~~✨trauma✨~~” and “there’s nothing wrong with you, mental illness is an invention of big pharma to sell pills, stop whining and just go for a walk”

#like i wish there was more focus on like.....people actually trying to get better and practice healthier habits #without this whole idea that you're just too lazy and sensitive and all you really need is to exercise and meditate #mental health #text

[maculategiraffe]

had an actual damn panic attack today because I had to talk to a surgeon about a surgery. it's not even really the prospect of the surgery (dental. wisdom teeth. no big, everybody does it) it's the surgeon. honestly didn't realize how viscerally I still hate and fear surgeons. like damn they weren't kidding the body really does keep the score

#psir #i'm fine i did great i got out my little mental health app and did deep breathing exercises #and now i'm home safe in bed with a bowl of cherries

Welcome to 2023, and a very Happy New Year to you! 🎆

We are delighted that you could join us and could not be happier to have you here for another Self-Care Sunday. 🕊️

It’s Sunday January 1, and we want to help you start the new year right. A new year doesn’t have to be a new you, because we at Tumblr think you’re absolutely fab just the way you are. Instead of a new year, new you, we want to have you start 2023 feeling just fine, and feeling happy, healthy, and well. It’s the same old you, just the very best, the very happiest you! And it can all start at the tip of a pen, keyboard, or touchpad,  as a little bit of journaling can help express yourself, and get thoughts which race around your mind before you onto the page. 

Who better to help this new habit get into gear than Justin, from @DayOne? This is someone who knows first-hand the transformative power of the simple act of writing what is inside into a page on the outside. And the benefits this can bring for mind and soul. In his own words…

Having discovered Day One almost 10 years ago, I’ve been a near-daily journal writer since. A few years back, I started supporting Day One’s social media and marketing efforts, building out the company’s Instagram following, creating the Day One Today newsletter, and creating an email and in-app onboarding experience for new users. As a father of four, I’ve used Day One to capture priceless moments from the lives of my children, through text, audio, video, and photo entries. I currently reside in Texas, enjoy biking, skiing, photography, and sports.

 🖊️ WATCH NOW: Day 1 with @DayOne: Journaling for the New Year on 1/1 at 1pm EST ✍️

society: why are so many young ppl developing eating disorders and other mental illnesses???

also society: you will only be truly happy if you lose weight/if you're skinny! that's self-care! 😘

#the mental health tag on tumblr is filled with the same skinny white women going to the gym every single day #and btw i know the gym itself isn't the problem #exercising isn't the problem #it's how society romanticizes it for the sake of losing weight #they say it's not about 'aesthetics' but it's still definitely about body image lol #also i feel like they exclude disabled ppl who aren't able to exercise #or can't afford a gym or doesn't have access to one #it's still fucking ableist!!!! #lotus.txt #ableism tw #fatphobia tw #ranting #ranting in tags

Jack started smoking very young and did his best to quit when he was in his twenties and was mostly successful (sometimes when he's really stressed he lets himself bum a cig off of somebody) but a side effect is that now he has to have something in his mouth all the time so he carries around little cinnamon flavored toothpicks to chew on. Davey, unfortunately, thinks this is very hot.

#in my mind. jack as a young teenager was a terror to everyone (defense mechanism asshole) #as he got a little older like 16-19 he started getting better emotionally #which then led to him taking his physical health more seriously (takes up boxing for exercise and starts trying to quit smoking) #and as his physical health improved he started taking care of his mental health

[internet-society]

What will be today's objective goal?

Stretch out of your tension.

Repeat: "I have the space I need to create the reality I want."

What will be today's social goal?

Balance your posture.

Repeat: "I am my profound harmony."

What will be today's active goal?

Ground yourself in action.

Repeat: "It exists when I empower it."

Motivation Monday!🤜🤛

Hard work and dedication are amazing tools but mindset MUST come first. Once you set your mind to something you want you can become nearly unstoppable. We get in our own way constantly with our self doubts and insecurities. Second guessing, giving up, succumbing to failure. BUT if you use those hurdles to strengthen your resolve and learn and grow amazing things can happen. It’s never too late. Stop looking at your goals as “One Day” and turn them into “Day One”!

You GOT THIS, BELIEVE IT and ACHIEVE IT!! 🧠💪
