As we are fast approaching the end of the year 2022, with hopes and aspirations about achieving all the goals we have set for ourselves and having lots of fun in 2023, let us not forget the very important aspect of self-care and habits that can help us grow.

Every woman deserves to take some time off from the hectic schedule of everyday life to develop a hobby or habit which is beneficial for herself. So, ladies let's take a resolution this new year of developing these five self-care habits for the betterment of ourselves.

5 self-care habits that every woman should have.

A) Jump-start your day with yoga and other exercises.

In this world full of competition, a woman needs to be physically as well as mentally healthy to be able to compete and earn a position in this fast pacing world. Yoga and other sorts of exercises can make sure of that, it can help us maintain a healthy weight, reduces the risks of developing any diseases or illness and helps in maintaining a healthy menstruation cycle. Apart from that, it gives us a moment of relief from hectic and chaotic everyday life which is really essential. To maintain our physical and mental health we should include practising yoga and exercising in our habits.

B) Eating and drinking healthy

When we're talking about keeping ourselves healthy, one can never forget about the most important factor of it, which is what we consume. Our health depends on it majorly and thus one of the best habits to develop is to maintain a well-balanced and healthy diet. We should invest in food items that are organic and full of nutrients to fulfil the needs of our bodies. Drinking water is an important factor as well, therefore we should develop the habit of consuming around 2 litres of water a day to keep ourselves hydrated and fit.

C) Investing in some me-time.

Taking a two-minute break to spend some time alone and finding the whole house in chaos is what the majority of woman encounters at home, and on the other hand, interacting with a lot of people at work is what we see most of the time. As women, we are surrounded by kids, colleagues or family members almost all the time, with very less to no time for ourselves. We must have the habit of taking some time out from our busy schedules to spend with ourselves, you will be amazed by how relaxed or refreshed you feel afterwards, as everyone deserves some me time to rest whether it means going for a walk alone or reading your favourite book in serenity.

D) Cutting off from technology.

We live in a world where most of the time we are surrounded by different sorts of technology. May that be while you are working at your computer or while you spend your time scrolling some Instagram Reels. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but we consume a lot of negative stuff unknowingly through it. When we take some time off from technology it gives us some time away from all negativity that we encounter via it, giving us some time to think positively and to notice everything that's happening around us for us to get more aware of our surroundings. One must develop the habit of cutting off on all sorts of technology for some time daily to give our mind, the rest and refreshment it needs.

E) Journaling our thoughts and acts.

What can be better than journaling down our feelings, thoughts and acts for us to get a better understanding of ourselves, it is also found to be helpful for people struggling with anxiety, stress, or any kind of trauma as it makes us feel a sense of relief. We should develop the habit of journaling down everything that happens to us or how we feel as it is the best way for us to understand our needs and wants positively so that we will be able to fulfil them.
