The 5 M’s of Self Care
*Self care tips from Amanda Seales on her podcast Small Doses*
- Music
- Listening to certain music makes you feel better. Make a playlist that will put you in a good mood. “Weaponize music against your own mind.”
- Movement
- Any type of movement! Dancing, exercising, boxing, yoga, walking around the house, enjoying nature, etc. Moving actually releases serotonin which is the key hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness.
- Movies
- Escape from the world you are in and take on the role of a character in a movie. Choose a character that makes you happy. A character that will make you feel good.
- Mind Power
- Understand that you control your mind and nobody else. Surround yourself with positivity. Do things you enjoy doing for YOU!
- Munchies
- Eat your favorite snacks, but not to the point where you are abandoning yourself.
