Any selfcare is better than no self-care, even if it's just a few minutes a day. So, start where you can.
Although self-care is encouraged by health care providers, for many of us giving care seems more important than receiving care. Could helping ourselves actually help others?
He continued:"We also know that people who get vigorous physical exercise multiple days per week tend to have healthier bodies, less anxiety and depression, tend to live longer and have fewer physical illnesses than people who are sedentary." Additionally, he emphasized the importance of human connection."Spending quality time with others in person -- as opposed to online or through the phone -- can also be of benefit," Towery said.As a cognitive behavioral therapist, Towery spends much of his time teaching people the idea that thoughts determine feelings, and we can actively change our thoughts. In his practice, Towery helps people consider doing self-care without thinking of themselves as selfish or lazy.
Towery notes that this may require training -- essentially, rewiring the brain. To break the old pattern of thinking, he said, you may need to repeat a new thought over and over, in order to form a new thought process that is more conducive to health and well-being.Although"human beings as a whole need self-care," Towery identifies several groups that would strongly benefit from self-care.
