Self care seems to be the “popular” thing to discuss and give talks on nowadays, while also charging you €100 for the privilege 😉, but what does it actually mean for me and you?
Well like I said, tactical psychology is all about taking the bullshit out of psychology so let’s get into it 🤝🏻
Limit your exposure to toxic people, toxic information, and toxic environments.
This means learning to say “no” (remember our last conversation about saying no? if not, click the link to give it a read https://tactical-psychology.com/2023/01/06/saying-no/) saying no doesn’t always mean just uttering the words “no” to someone it also means learning how to be fine on your own.
Do the unpleasant, unsexy habits that make everything else possible. Go to bed at a reasonable hour. Stay in on a Wednesday night. Pay off your credit card or credit union loan. Floss. It’s not sexy, but it has to be done.
Challenge yourself regularly.
When people think of self-care, they think it means getting away from life. But self-care means enriching your life with interesting challenges that force you to grow.
Have difficult conversations.
The quality of your life is proportional to the quality of your relationships. Take care of those relationships by having the uncomfortable conversations that result in trust and respect.
Rest. You don’t need to book a €500 spa treatment to rest. You don’t need to have a selfie in a hammock in the Caribbean to rest. Rest means rest. It can be your couch, your bed, on the floor, or in the arms of someone you care about.
So this weekend take some time to implement some self care, place yourself at the top of your priority list and enjoy the weekend!
Oh and don’t forget to drink your coffee 😏
