Spirit
Spiritual self-care for each of us is journey of our own. A great number of individuals have built a foundation of spiritual self-care by practicing organized religion while others do not. Ultimately, it involves the activities that we practice with the intent of bringing ourselves into connection and harmony with The Most High. Our spiritual selves require this connection if we desire to feel grounded through the ebbs and flows of life and have a true sense of purpose and fulfillment. Most of us are aware of the significance of mental and physical self-care but neglect our spiritual being; However, keeping a healthy spiritual life assists in managing our mental and physical selves. One thing affects everything.
Mind
Mental self-care is multifaceted and can be sought out in various ways. It can include taking time to do the fun things you enjoy, getting adequate rest, indulging in a good book, or basking in the beauty of nature. Unfortunately, many of us do not prioritize this area of our lives because we view mental self-care as a luxury instead of a priority. As a consequence, we are often left feeling physically unwell, overwhelmed with life, frustrated, easily triggered, and melancholy... just to name a few. It is important for us to be consistently mindful of how we are caring for ourselves mentally to ensure that we are also able to care for ourselves spiritually and physically. One thing affects everything.
Body
There are countless benefits to maintaining a physical self-care routine. Many of the physical self-care activities we practice are connected to superficial results or the desire to obtain a specific physical appearance. The way we feel about ourselves is greatly connected to the way we feel about the way we look physically. However, physical self-care also includes being intentional about what we put inside of our bodies. Being a good steward of our bodies includes incorporating healthy eating habits, physical activities, exercise, and medical check-ups. We only get one body. Committing ourselves to include physical self-care as a part of our overall care plan is essential to maintaining optimal spiritual and mental wellness. One thing affects everything.
