Practicing self-care for me is centered around focusing on my mental health, fitness, rest/sleep and my nutrition. One of the first things I do is to make sure to be open and honest with the people that I trust for my mental health. I feel comfortable to share what I am feeling with my family and friends. This impacts my life by just making me feel supported and heard. I know that I have people like my family and my best friends who are always going to be there for me. Fitness is a huge part of my self-care. I love working out, playing lacrosse, and just keeping my body healthy. To ensure that I keep my strength and stamina up, I do push-ups, sprints, and other exercises to help in these areas. It impacts my life by keeping me in tip top shape when it comes to my physical health. Sleep plays a vital role in my self-care. My parents have always helped me understand that it is very important for me to get a lot of rest/sleep, not only because I am a growing person but also because to play sports and go to school, I need a lot of energy. Making sure that I get in the bed on time is very important, so that I have enough sleep to do everything I need to do well and with high levels of energy. My self-care would not be complete without nutrition. I make sure to eat right daily. My family is vegan. We pride ourselves on eating clean and healthy. Being a vegan has changed how I feel when I eat; I don’t feel stuffy, and it just gives me more energy. This is my self-care practice, and it impacts my life daily.

The practice of self-care is incredibly important for people keeping their mental and physical health in a positive outlook. Personally, I practice self-care whenever I feel that my mood is beginning to decline. For me, self-care consists of many different practices that give me comfort and relief any stress I may have. I do many things that give me comfort physically, emotionally, or mentally. I practice my self-care by playing my guitar, learning new ways to invest, reading novels, doing homework in sections, listening to music, working out, and playing video games. The impact of these practices may seem insignificant at first, however, they really matter as life goes on. The result of performing these self-care practices have really impacted my life. By practicing these activities, my attitude and mood is positively lifted. As a result, many other aspects of my life are improved. These aspects include bringing a positive attitude into social events, greeting others when entering a classroom, and completing assignments with effective time management. Besides improving your mood, practicing self-care can also help conquer conflict occurring within your life. When I worried over my financial situation during the Covid-19 pandemic, I occasionally listened to music in order to calm my nerves. This allowed my mind to think clearly and view my potential solutions through this hard time. Self-care is incredibly important because it allows yourself to relax and enjoy things you love. Life can be stressful and challenging at times, however, practicing self-care can help overcome these difficulties in a progressive manner.
