Self-care is not selfish. It's great for your mental health.
Here are 9 acts of self-care you need to protect your mental health...
1. Stop giving excuses. No matter how valid they are.
You messed.
Maybe you failed.
Maybe you lost everything.
Yes, accept it, learn
Never do it again.
2. Take care of your health
You have a life to enjoy
And you have a lot to accomplish.
When you're unhealthy it is impossible to perform optimally.
• Work out
• Eat what you want
• Have great sex
• Get enough sleep
• Get enough sun
3. Do what you want
People will try to tell you what's right.
But don't believe without testing.
Know what there is. Know what feels right to you.
Do it unapologetically.
4. Spend most time alone
People are afraid of themselves
And you shouldn't
Some truths about yourself, others and life can only be clear when you spend alone,
Don't ignore the truths you learn.
5. Make money
Cashflow is important.
You can't afford having fun or being happy when you're broke.
Build a busines that'll make you money, friends and teach you skills no one can.
6. Learn some skills for fun
Some skills like;
• Cooking
• Sharpening knives and axes
• Speed driving
• Shooting
• Hunting
• Calculated silence
They may not be for monetary purposes but you should learn them.
7. Learn from high value people
You will rise to levels you won't even explain
Someone knows something you don't.
Listen and you will learn a lot.
8. Learn Self-defence
Self-defence is important.
Not because you can fight anyone.
But for yourself, family and moments you can't avoid.
You also become more confident and disciplined.
9. Always tell the truth or shut up
Because there is nothing as shameful as being known as a liar
You may get what you want
But it won't last long
No one will ever believe you when it matters.
10. Practice eye contact
Learn to look at people right in their eyes.
People lie a lot.
And are never confident with themselves.
Look at them in the eyes.
You'll know a lot about them.
