It's Mental

And Physical

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about a month ago 1 min read

Everyone needs to rest!

“You get to do nothing sometimes.

And you don’t have to feel guilty for that.

Everyone needs rest.

It’s not ‘lazy’”

Self-care

is something that everyone of us can do,

in our own homes,

and it is free.

This is so good for our mental health,

which, in turn,

is good for our physical health.

The trouble is

that we are so busy,

that to stop and ‘do nothing’

for half an hour,

we feel guilty,

thinking about all the things we should be doing.

The thing is =>

we “Should” be doing nothing and resting,

looking after ourselves.

Have you heard of the “3 R’s”?

Rest,

Relax,

Rebuild.

These are three things

that we all need to do

every single day,

to look after ourselves

------

both mentally and physically.

And like we make time to wash

and eat

and ‘look smart’ for work (or for the day),

so should we make time

to look after

our mental and physical health.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
