Even in a time of downtime you can find yourself short on time.Here are some GenuLines tips for making sure that self care is one of your priorities.

4 Self-Care Tips For Extra Busy People

Living in challenging times can leave little time to take care of yourself. The constant wail of news and social media take a toll on your physical, mental and emotional health.

If you’re struggling to find time for self-care, try these four tips. They’ll help you work good self-care habits into your schedule.

1. Establish a morning routine

Starting the day right is a good way to maintain your mental and physical health. This might include a healthy breakfast, daily exercise or meditation.

Figure out what works for you and do it every day.

Over time this will become a habit, helping you to take some time for self-care every day.

2. Schedule time off

It’s easy to find yourself in a cycle of continuous activity. You move from one activity to the next until it seems you’re just going through the motions.

Schedule some time off so you don’t get lost in the chaos.

It might be an afternoon away from your normal routine. Then again it could be something more extravagant like a weekend away or a vacation.

Whatever you choose, taking a break will allow you to relax and rejuvenate.

3. Get enough sleep

Don’t underestimate the importance of sleep.Good quality sleep allows your body to heal and re-energize.

Proper sleep helps you maintain good lifestyle habits, too. You’ll be less likely to make bad diet choices and avoid exercise when you’re rested.

Sleep is critical for physical and mental health. Make sure it’s one of your priorities.

4. Set realistic goals

Manage your mental health by setting realistic goals. Why let your commitment to something unachievable cause you to feel like a failure?

Spend some time considering your aspirations.

Make goals that are challenging, but possible for you to reach. You also need to set realistic goals when it comes to your self-care commitments.

Add things to your routine that will work long term with your lifestyle.

We all get 24 hours in a day. Make sure yours include time for self-care.
