Self-Care

Self Care

Take care of yourself.

Take care of yourself, particularly following dull or mentally draining activities. Self-care can assist in recharging and boosting your energy levels. It's all about devising a plan to enhance yourself, your personality, and your appeal.

Respect Yourself.

Self-respect encompasses the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of self-care and love. It's about self-pride, your circumstances, and your environment.
Physically, you might be overweight and feel the need to shed some pounds. 

Why? Because neglecting this could suggest a lack of self-respect, love, pride, dignity, or ambition. Therefore, cultivate the habit of exercising for at least half an hour daily to maintain good muscle tone. You'll discover that regular exercise enhances performance in all areas of life, including love, personal, and professional spheres, as well as overall appearance.

For instance, you could indulge in self-care treatments like a body wax, a massage, manicure, or pedicure if you prefer. Pay attention to your attire—are your clothes clean, pressed, well-fitted, and reflect your unique style? Do they flatter you?

Invest in yourself and your wardrobe to look and feel good, presenting your best self in the mirror and to the outside world.

  • Ensure you get a good haircut that is clean-cut and well-groomed. 

  • Take a daily shower and apply your favourite signature scent.

  • Keep your fingernails clean, clipped, and groomed.

  • Maintain oral hygiene by cleaning your teeth and ensuring fresh breath.

  • Consume a diet consisting mostly of clean, healthy foods and lots of water.

  • Be kind to yourself by eating fewer processed foods and more fruits and vegetables.

  • Your body language speaks volumes, especially when walking; keep your head up, shoulders back, and chest out (heart chakra open). Carrying yourself with this energy shows confidence, indicating that you know who you are and where you're going, which is very attractive.

Always perform a quick hygiene check on yourself.

  • Check your teeth to ensure they are clean,

  • Check your breath to make sure it's fresh,

  • Check your hair to ensure it's neatly groomed,

  • Check your fingernails to ensure they are clean and trimmed,

  • Ensure you smell pleasant by applying fragrance and deodorant as necessary.

Cleanliness of your living arrangements.

Maintaining a clean bathroom is essential, as is keeping your bedroom and sheets clean, ideally once a week. Vacuuming and dusting should also be done weekly. Additionally, ensure your kitchen is clean and routinely check for expired food items.
basically, pick up after yourself

Exercises in self-talk can be beneficial for enhancing your personality. 

For instance, you might reflect on whether your personality has changed since childhood, consider if your personality resembles that of your parents, identify qualities you admire in yourself, and acknowledge your biggest strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, exploring what scares you and whether you make decisions logically or intuitively can provide deeper self-awareness.

Other things to consider when you are developing good personality traits.

  • Avoid being negative, overly agreeable, or boastful, particularly regarding wealth or appearance. 

  • Be firm only when required. 

  • Refrain from being overbearing, overly familiar, or generally irritating, 

  • Additionally, it's wise to avoid sharing personal matters with strangers

  • In a professional setting, always carry business cards to distribute. 

  • Dress in tailored, tapered, and pressed clothing. 

  • Maintain clean shoes. 

  • Refrain from yelling. 

  • Avoid chewing gum. 

  • Record a voicemail greeting in your most professional tone. 

  • Keep your vehicle clean. 

  • Consider wearing wire-frame glasses. 

  • Carry a Zippo lighter, even if you don't smoke. 

  • Secure a major bank credit card.

Try positive self-talk exercises for a more attractive and appealing you.

Begin by engaging in positive self-talk, utilizing what you might call an accountability/appreciation mirror, to foster personal growth and enhance self-love and care. This, in turn, equips you to extend greater love and care to others.

In this exercise, stand before a mirror to appreciate and hold yourself accountable, affirming with statements like "I'm proud of you," "You look good," and so on. Whatever you want to hear from others just tell yourself that.

Other examples of positive self-talk in front of the mirror include gazing into your own eyes and affirming: "You are a great listener," "Be a good listener today and always," "Be a loyal friend," and "Be a good and faithful lover," among other things.

When addressing self-sabotaging behaviours.


It's beneficial to engage in positive self-talk, particularly in front of this accountability/appreciation mirror. In severe instances of self-sabotage, such as heavy drinking or excessive smoking, professional help should be sought.

Success in cultivating positive personality traits and overcoming self-sabotaging thoughts hinges on honesty with oneself. Incorporating exercises, along with meditation, a clean diet, drinking plenty of water, and regular physical activity, significantly contributes to aligning one's personality positively and energetically, both physically and emotionally, as well as mentally.

Embrace self-love and focus on personal development.

You may find love and desire for others as you seek to love and be your true self. It is often stated that to love oneself or another, one must first embody kindness and love. This is the key to discovering and connecting with like-minded individuals. It's akin to exercising; you won't feel the impact until you take action. Self-love is demonstrated through actions.

The Health and Healing Journey

The Health and Healing Journey Live consciously by embracing a holistic approach to health and healing that encompasses your mind, body, and breath. Incorporate the movement and flow of energy into your focus, purpose, and daily efforts. For instance, consciously regulating your breathing and altering your response patterns can foster morality, righteousness, health, and peace of mind. The conscious interplay of body, breath, and mind forms the foundation of our physiology and behaviours. When this balance is disrupted, it impacts the nervous system, leading us to exist in a perpetual state of fight or flight—a response of the sympathetic nervous system. This state dictates a reactive rather than proactive existence. Emotions can provoke a state of heightened reactivity, keeping us in a constant state of alert for the last straw that may cause us to topple. The ups and downs of life, especially the downturns, can be that straw, surpassing our ability to manage. The Mi...

Self-Awareness

Self-Awareness The most direct route to self-awareness is often found through deep introspection, questioning whether we are evolving into the individuals we aspire to be or stagnating. Our objective is to discover this, and our five senses serve as beacons, leading us from complacency to awareness.  Therefore, in the present moment, if you seek to initiate the journey towards self-awareness and awaken to your authentic self, simply begin by embracing and exploring the sensations your five senses are perceiving. You may wonder why we start with the five senses. There's no better way to embark on a journey of exploration and introspection than by sitting calmly, relaxing, and then turning your attention inward. Focus on the sights, sounds, smells, touches, and tastes you're experiencing, concerning both your inner and outer environments.  To truly experience life as it is, we must begin with the basics, connect with reality, become fully aware, and deepen our understanding of c...
