Incorporate Self-Care into Your Day: A Shift in Thinking
You’ve tried everything and still can’t seem to incorporate self-care in your day? Then you need to try this. For many things, success requires a shift in thinking. Now, don’t give up just yet. See right there? There is an attitude behind the thought process to anything you will succeed in.
Two Tips to Help Incorporate Self-Care as a Daily Habit
Tip 1:
Besides the general attitude behind it all, you will need to point your belief system onto this phrase:
“Live the way you believe you deserve” —Home Harmony SelfCare.
If you pose this phrase to yourself at least once monthly—perhaps when writing up goals, planning your week, or setting out for routine appointments—you will have a form of checking in with yourself. This realigns your beliefs to match your actions. You deserve better, so allow yourself to receive better—from yourself!
Tip 2:
You may have heard this before but not like this… To create a new habit, you must attach it to an existing one (something you already do). Take it a step further by attaching it to something you enjoy. This way, the self-care activity enhances what you’re already doing.
Ensure there’s adequate time to fit it in. Whether you shift things to start earlier, extend time because you can, or shorten something else without sacrificing safety or health, this approach makes self-care a consistent habit when applied with joy.
Recap:
- Embrace an attitude that helps you create the realization and experience that you deserve better, including daily self-care.
- Prioritize yourself by forming healthy, happy habits connected to existing routines.
Final Thought:
If nothing else helps, the last piece of advice is acceptance. Acknowledge that while you may know what to do, something deeper might be holding you back. It could be time to seek therapy for mental health support or make health-conscious changes to boost your energy. These actions complement Tip 1 and Tip 2 beautifully.
Your motivation for self-care needs these small, manageable steps. After all, self-care is always a good idea—and a healthy need.
