Revised to self-care eases any feelings of selfishness. Self-care means commitment to an active role in physical and mental well-being. We build self-esteem and resilience by attention to our needs.
Self-care is not self-centered. It extends to our community of family, friends, and the natural world.
Living from the inside out with fun and ferocity builds self-esteem without a need for audience approval.
Compassion and a positive attitude, regardless of challenges and frustrations, assist the process.
A quick fix of self-indulgence won't solve a situation. Discipline sets limits to prioritize importance and define boundaries.
Examine rhythms of daily life.
Find ways to Balance.
Develop a flexible outlook.
Enrich creative talents. Let nature guide you to appreciate bird flight and song. Take a walk and use the cellphone to record moments of joy.
Consider studying mindfulness and developing a focus with breathing and meditation. Use writing to examine fears and frustrations. Move into exuberance and wonder.
When an anxious thought appears, find three possibilities to take its place.
Choose three bad habits to replace. See what happens in a week's time.
Naps nurture resilience.
Indulge in what makes you joyful. Spread it to others by a compliment on their smile.
Hum a tune. Play an instrument.
Let humor percolate during the day. Laughter assists beyond tears.
If you feel cranky, create a cartoon character for a chat.
Find fun activities to rescue a frenzied mind.
Live in the present moment.
