3 Simple Self-Care Regimes That Can Transform Your Life

No matter where you turn these days you'll find someone whispering about self-care. It's the practice that's about putting yourself first - physically, mentally, and emotionally. This might sound selfish and self-centered but it's exactly the opposite. The idea is not to go all me me me .. and become a narcissistic rogue. The doctrine teaches you to help yourself first before trying to help others. It asks you to become the best version of yourself.

Think about it, you can only give what you have. So, if you're feeling weak, and tired all the time, you cannot give your loved ones your best. Whereas, if you feel refreshed, energetic, beautiful (and sexy), you can offer so much more to those you love. It makes sense, right? I'm a single father and self-care is of prime importance. Because there's nothing I want to do more than give my child the best life. And the only way I can do that is to become the best version of myself.

Here, I'm about to show you how you can incorporate some simple habits to make a huge impact. If you can do this, within weeks you'll feel more energetic, happier, lighter, sexier, and more focused.

Simple Self-Care Regimes That Can Transform Your Life

5 Minutes Daily Mindfulness

Right off the bat, I'm going to start with mindfulness. This is the quickest way to a calm mind-body, and empowerment. If you cannot do any other regimes mentioned here, do this one. The first thing it'll do is calm the incessant storm that's inside all of us. Once that happens you'll instantly feel a thousand times better. Mindfulness practitioners all over the world report feeling a sense of oneness, calm. peace and clarity. They also report feeling happier, more vibrant, younger, and more beautiful. Take 5 minutes every day to meditate. This alone will transform your life beyond your imagination. Consistency is the key here. Sit every day, doesn't matter what. Some days you will find your mind racing. That's ok. It happens to all including seasoned monks. Just sit in meditation every day.

Soften In A Sauna Blanket

Self-care is about feeling great. This begins with pampering yourself to a clean body and mind. One of the best ways to experience a mind-body detox is the sauna. If you have access to a traditional steaming sauna, then that's great. If not, you can enjoy the same benefits with an infrared sauna blanket. You can simply roll this out in your bed, and enjoy a relaxing, sweat-induced detox session - at home, as often as you want. A good sauna blanket is great for lowering stress which in turn helps strengthen your immune system.

 

Add Nature To Your Life

Sauna, eye massage, and meditations are great self-care practices but the one tool that makes the who experience whole is nature. No gym, spa, or yoga studio can replace it. Add a bit of nature to your self-care regime - every day if you can. If you can’t do it daily, take a walk in nature a few times a week. It doesn't have to be a hike through the woods or spending time in Yellowstone National Park. Take a walk through your local park and appreciate the greenery around, the sprinting dogs, the people, the grass under your shoes. Go barefoot on the grass and feel the soft velvety kiss of earth. The significance of the earth-human connection is profound. Spend more time in nature than your favorite cocktail bar. And next time you are at the bar, you'll get more noticed.
