Another two elements of emotional self care are Expressing Emotions and Affirming Self.
When we express emotions we:
1. Reduce stress: Bottling up feelings can make stress worse. Letting it out helps your body and mind relax.
2. Improve Relationships: Authentic communication strengthens connections and builds trust with others.
3. Boost Self-Understanding: By acknowledging your feelings, you learn more about yourself and grow emotionally.
Affirming self highlights the importance of the voice. The brain believes what it hears most often. So we want to practice speaking positive over negative. If we could harness the power of our voice for good, by replacing self-doubt with affirmations, self-encouragement, and gratitude, we’d be building a mental foundation based on trust, self-love, and confidence.
Emotional self care, is seldom thought of, but integral in any self care routine. Let's ensure that we include it going forward.
See you on Sunday as we continue our recap.
