TODAY'S LEARNING
Self-Care: The habits for healthy physical and mental well-being…

Many individuals believe that practicing self-care is limited to taking bubble baths or getting an additional hour of sleep. However, because every aspect of our lives has an effect on our well-being, we should practice self-care in each one.

We should be aware of the five basic components of self-care: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and social self-care. Let's examine each in more detail.

1. Mental

When we talk about mental fitness, we’re talking about the activities that keep your mind challenged and engaged. These are the things that put you in a flow state, where your attention is uncomplicatedly directed toward something you like. Mental self-care includes exercising your intellect, engaging in flow as much as possible, and learning new things.

You can improve your mental self-care in the following ways: 

While traveling to work each day, listen to an engaging podcast.

Spend some time reading before night, even if it's just a few pages of your favorite book.

Accept the chance for professional and educational growth at work.

2. Emotional

Taking care of your emotional health means working to understand your feelings and how to deal with them. While experiencing a variety of emotions is healthy, it's also critical to understand what those emotions are trying to tell you and communicate those feelings in a positive way.

The following are some strategies for improving emotional self-care:

Enroll in therapy to improve your coping skills and abilities to manage your emotions.

Journal often to better comprehend your emotions and their causes.

Instead of reacting to your emotions, practice observing them in daily life.

3. Physical

Your whole well-being depends on your physical health. You tend to be less emotionally and mentally resilient when your basic requirements aren't addressed. Many illnesses, including depression, anxiety, and many others, have symptoms that resemble those of dehydration.

The following are some techniques for improving physical self-care:

Keep up with and prioritize regular doctor visits

Instead of allowing a hectic schedule get in the way, address health issues as they emerge.

Maintain your physical health by working out and consuming wholesome foods.

4. Spiritual

Our spiritual self-care connects us to something larger than ourselves. It might have an external focus, like a religious ritual. However, spiritual fulfillment can also be attained by internal disciplines like breathwork and meditation. Spiritual wellness is an individual journey.

Here are some suggestions for improving your spiritual self-care:

Yoga and other self-connection exercises are a good idea.

Give your spiritual practice a high priority; you may get started by allotting simply 10 minutes per day.

Join a group that will help you improve your spiritual health.

5. Social

Part of what gives life purpose is the time we spend with our friends, family, and other people we care about. Humans need social interaction, yet we frequently ignore it, especially when we're already feeling down. One of the best ways to look after our mental health is to spend time with people who make us feel good.

Here are some suggestions for enhancing your social self-care:

Start an activity that will help you meet new people, such as dancing or joining a recreational sports league.

Regularly check in with your friends and family (you can set reminders on your calendar for this).

Don't allow social media to replace face-to-face interactions with family and friends; instead, make plans to visit them or call them.

Develop a self-care plan:

• Assess your needs: Make a list of the different parts of your life and major activities that you engage in each day. Work, school, relationships, and family are some of you might list.

• Consider your stressors: Think about the aspects of these areas that cause stress and consider some ways you might address that stress.

• Devise self-care strategies: Think about some activities that you can do that will help you feel better in each of these areas of your life. Spending time with friends or developing boundaries, for example, can be a way to build healthy social connections.

• Plan for challenges: When you discover that you're neglecting a certain aspect of your life, create a plan for change.

• Take small steps: You don't have to tackle everything all at once. Identify one small step you can take to begin caring for yourself better.

• Schedule time to focus on your needs: Even when you feel like you don't have time to squeeze in one more thing, make self-care a priority. When you're caring for all aspects of yourself, you'll find that you are able to operate more effectively and efficiently.

TODAY'S POSITIVE NEWS

1 million acres of public land to the north, south, and northeast, of Grand Canyon National Park have officially been turned into a national monument after lobbying efforts by Arizona tribal nations.

In English, it is to be called Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, based on the translations of the proposed name by the Havasupai and Hopi nations of Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni, which means “where our ancestors roamed.”

The new monument protects thousands of cultural and sacred sites—places of natural beauty like spring-fed waterfalls, or Gray Mountain, called Dziłbeeh by the Navajo, which are precious to tribal nations in the Southwes

ZEN STORY
EGO

The Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty was a national hero for his success as both a statesman and military leader. But despite his fame, power, and wealth, he considered himself a humble and devout Buddhist. Often he visited his favorite Zen master to study under him, and they seemed to get along very well. The fact that he was prime minister apparently had no effect on their relationship, which seemed to be simply one of a revered master and respectful student.

One day, during his usual visit, the Prime Minister asked the master, "Your Reverence, what is egotism according to Buddhism?" The master's face turned red, and in a very condescending and insulting tone of voice, he shot back, "What kind of stupid question is that!?"

This unexpected response so shocked the Prime Minister that he became sullen and angry. The Zen master then smiled and said, "THIS, Your Excellency, is egotism."
