You Can't Fill from an Empty Cup!
It’s International Self Care Day 2024!
The power of self-care cannot be
underestimated, nor the crucial role it plays in building resilience, fostering
adaptability, and helping us thrive in the face of adversity.
The themes for this year’s International
Self Care Day are resilience, adaptability and thriving in adversity.
Resilience isn't just about bouncing back from challenges; it's
about growing stronger through them. By prioritising our well-being, we equip
ourselves with the mental and emotional fortitude to tackle whatever life
throws our way.
Adaptability is key in our ever-changing world. Practising
self-care helps us stay flexible and open-minded, allowing us to navigate new
situations with grace and confidence.
Thriving in adversity means more than just surviving tough times. It's
about harnessing our inner strength and embracing self-care practices that
nurture our growth and enable us to flourish.
Here are some self-care practices to consider
incorporating into your routine:
Mindfulness and Meditation
Take time each day to quiet your mind and focus on
the present moment – it can significantly reduce stress and enhance emotional
well-being.
Physical Activity
Regular exercise boosts not only physical health but also mental clarity and
mood.
Connection
Lean
into your supportive relationships and remember that it is ok to seek help during
challenging times.
Continuous Learning
Embracing new skills and knowledge keeps our minds sharp and adaptable.
Rest and Relaxation
Never underestimate the power of a good night's sleep and taking breaks
to recharge.
Something I often remind myself is that you
can’t fill from an empty cup, so let us remember that self-care is not a
luxury; it's a necessity.
I’m delighted that at Excellerate Services, our
Employee Assistance Programme offers every member of our team free access to a
24-hr wellbeing helpline, financial support and critical incident support, for
those times when we sometimes need a helping hand.
