Self-care for empowerment

What does self-care look like? It’s different from woman to woman, but the benefits are the same: better physical, mental, and emotional health. Here are a few ways to practice self-care:

Eat well. When you take your meals, think of them as nourishment and not just fuel to bridge the gap until the next one. Fill your plate with color—vegetables and grains, aside from your meat or seafood—and savor each bite while you chew. Eating can be a quiet time to think or a social time to break bread with loved ones. Either way, it feeds not only your body.

Breathe deeply. Make time—anywhere between a minute to an hour—to sit quietly and just be. If you can do this surrounded by nature, so much the better. Take deep breaths to appreciate the silence, listen to your inner voice, or just sit quietly and just be.  

Get moving. Physical exercise comes in many forms. You can take a walk (with a friend or your dog), do yoga, join a HIIT class or complete your household chores. As long as you are able to stretch your muscles and keep the blood moving throughout your body, you are investing time and effort in yourself and you’ll have the advantage of greater mobility for longer.

Begin and end your day with skincare. Cleanse, tone, and moisturize are easy steps that can easily become good habits when you practice them daily. Due to the unique climate in the Philippines, it’s best if you repeat them in the morning and at night. Each stroke and motion can also serve to strengthen your relationship with your skin and, by extension, yourself.
