Simple Ways To Take Better Care of Yourself

December 20, 2018

When you are busy and overwhelmed with all that is going on in life, especially at this time of year, it can be hard to really make time for yourself. You can be running on empty and just getting from one day to the next. When times are like this, it can be easy to overeat or just give yourself the reward of food. It can be seen as a treat or a celebration just for getting through the day, but in the end, if you’re not taking care of yourself, then it can be something that is going to end up being bad for you and your health, leading to all different health implications, including your mental health as well. So here are some really simple ways that you can take better care of yourself, especially as we head into the new year.



  • Say No: learning to say no, especially with grace, can be a tricky thing to accomplish. But it needs to be done in order to take better care of yourself and leave you time for the things that you actually want to do.
  • Get Outside: making an effort to get outside every day can do wonders for your health, both your physical health and your mental health. It can give you the fresh air that you need, as well as giving you an increase in energy, and research suggests a heightened sense of wellbeing as well.
  • Drink More Water: drinking water is such a good thing for health. First of all, it gives our bodies the goodness that they need, as we are made up of so much water, we need to replenish our stocks. It can also be something that can stop us from feeling hungry, and give us the energy that we need.
  • Sexual Health: thinking about your sexual health is an important aspect of health that we can often forget about. Safe sex is so important, as well as looking for any problems in that area. Dryness, for instance, could be dealt with by something like a Mona Lisa touch treatment. So get to know your body and then you’ll know when something isn’t right, and you’ll be able to do something about it.
  • Don’t Eat Late: it can be easy to just be sat at home after a busy day and reach for the snacks. But overeating, and eating late, can impact your health and impact your digestion. So it is a good idea to give yourself a time when you don’t eat after, and make an evening wind-down routine for yourself that doesn’t include food.
  • Practice Mindfulness: being more mindful is something that can impact all areas of your health. It can make you more present, impacting mental health, and slows things down for you a little, impacting your physical health. 
As you can see, there are several things that can impact your health in a really positive way. Start doing those things today and you can be on your way to a very happy and healthy 2019.
