In the fast-paced world, life can become overwhelming and stressful. We’re constantly busy caring for others and rarely make time for ourselves.Yet it’s so important to do so because if we don’t take care of ourselves how do we expect to have the physical or mental capacity to care for those around us?
As women, we wear many hats, from mother and wife to working women and even chefs. This can lead to stress which can cause burn-out. Taking care of yourself and finding time to destress doesn’t mean spending money on fancy treatments.
Zaweer Ebrahim, brand manager at Playgirl, a beauty and cosmetics brand, shares these tips to help you reset.
Here are simple steps you can take to destress.
Set a goal for self-care
When life feels chaotic, having a goal can be your anchor. Make it a point to focus on your physical and emotional well-being – even something as small as scheduling 10 minutes of relaxation each day can help. It’s all about taking that first step toward reconnecting with yourself.
Strengthen your connections
Sometimes, the best way to unwind is to reach out to the people who make you feel appreciated and connected. Whether it’s a friendly phone call, a cosy chat over coffee, or a relaxing evening with loved ones, nurturing those intimate connections can work wonders for your emotional well-being.
Find your charm
Stress can sometimes make us feel like we’re a bit off our game. But hey, it’s time to channel your inner rockstar! Tap into your charm, audacity, and passion. You’re not just a team player, you’re practically the team’s secret weapon. Use that confidence to think outside the box and rediscover what makes you fabulous. After all, you’re the one who knows how to rock a boardroom or a brunch with equal flair.
Embrace your values
The true magic happens when you stay connected to what matters most to you.Whether it’s through your passions, supportive community, or cherished relationships, embracing your core values helps you stay centred and focused on what brings you joy. By nurturing these meaningful connections, you create a positive space where you can thrive and feel truly content.
