3 Powerful practices to make self-care a priority
1. Meditations
Daily practice of connecting with the universe and your soul gives you strength. It also guides you and recharges your energy. If you didn’t sleep for many hours, the morning meditation could renew you so that you don’t feel any deprivation.
The benefits of meditation cannot be stressed enough. I can see the difference in days when I meditate and when not. Meditating daily makes me balanced, recharged, and enables me to hear the guidance. If you want you can read about how to create your daily meditation practice.
2. Acknowledge your emotions
The practice that I love to do before going to sleep is to be present with my emotions. Any emotions that we don’t process translate into thoughts and into patterns that repeat the same drama over and over again.
As a part of an emotional self-care, it’s enough to sit presently – with no judgment or thoughts – with the emotion until it becomes neutral. There are many ways how you can work with suppressed emotions. All of them work equally.
3. Cleaning your energy
Another practice that I love is cleaning my energy. Is there any person that has pushed your buttons? Or is there anyone trying to control you? Or someone who does interfere in your relationship? Yes, we do invite other people’s energies into our relationships (parents for example).
When someone steals your energy, you can feel it in your first three chakras. This can get manifested at the physical level as illness. (You can read more about the mind-body connection here).
If you don’t clean, it causes a lot of mess and makes you react differently since you’re sensitive to energies. Trust me that by prioritizing your self-care, others will be grateful as you become more radiant and loving.
