One of the true markers of health is resilience, and the regular practice of self-care to “fill your well,” helps to increase your resilience and boost your overall health long term. Here are 5 fundamentals of self-care to help you focus your attention and create healthy rituals in specific dimensions of your holistic wellness.
- Proper Nutrition: Eating properly is essential to good health and spending the time to really assess what your nutritional requirements are is key. All of us are different, and it’s important to remove any foods that cause inflammation, allergens, or even mild food sensitivities.
- Water is needed by your body to function properly and to encourage proper elimination. To determine the amount of water that is adequate for you, divide your body weight in half and drink that many fluid ounces of water. There is a thing as too much water, so generally try not to exceed one gallon.
- Sleep is the pillar of health that is the foundation for other aspects of wellness. Sleep deprivation increases our insulin resistance, influences the hormones that affect our cravings, decreases our memory recall and retention, and can decrease our alertness and motor skills. The sleep requirement for you is going to be unique to your body, but a general rule of thumb is to aim for 7-8 hours.
- Mindfulness when practiced regularly can change the course of your day for the better. Taking in deep breaths brings oxygen to the whole cellular structure and relaxation skills can help you counteract the effects of prolonged or chronic stress, and also learn to respond rather than react to stressors in your environment.
- Time in Nature: Researchers are becoming more aware of the value of light on our psychological well-being. Sunshine can improve your attitude and boost your resilience. In tandem with this, nature bathing has also been shown by scientific research to accelerate healing, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve mood.
