I lost my husband almost two years ago and have been working on healing through an online support group and daily journaling. As a result, I have come to peace with some of my grief. In my preview exercise, I dealt with learning how to support a loved one.
I had rarely added a self-care routine to my daily life since I enjoyed working and didn’t find a need for frivolous things. So I started compiling information to help me understand the value of self-care.
Douglas, my husband, was a loving and kind person. He always helped others, even if it meant putting himself second. So this is why I like to share this to help others.
Self-care planning
Self-care is important for mental wellness. Dealing with grief has wreck havoc on my mental health, so adding self-care to my routine can help reduce the chaos in my life. I can learn to give myself grace and seek ways to improve my mental health. Learning low-cost self-care tips was something I wanted to do. So I created this self-care calendar that provides various tips and benefits and a daily planner where I can set my physical and mental health goals. It will benefit anyone who may or may not be struggling with mental health issues.
The best way to start is to identify your yearly goals and break them down into smaller daily goals that you can incorporate into a habit and routine. Always be mindful and give yourself grace if you cannot follow daily. Remember, habits take at least three months to form.
