Love yourself

Why do I need Self-care? Isn't that selfish? If your asking that, consider Jesus' words in Matthew 19:19, "You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself." Most of us think that being selfish is bad. Actually it is important to our health. Let me share you something.
The thumb is you. Your index finger represents your parents. Middle finger for your mate. Ring finger for your children and lastly the little finger is for your job. You have the responsibilities to love and take care of these plus your friends right? But what if one day you exhausted or burnt out? Try using your hand without using your thumb. You'll found out that your hand is useless. No matter how hard you work, the hand falters. See? How will you able to give love if you yourself don't love yourself. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit therefore we should take care of it. Here are some ways that will help you manage that:

Eat healthy foods regularly. Such as fruits and vegetables. Poor diet can make you vulnerable to stress.
Get enough sleep. This enables your body to grow and heal. Lack of sleep can make you less productive, you'll not be able to handle stress and function well. Here are some ways on better sleep strategies.
Drink plenty of water. This will help you hydrate your skin and your body. It also eradicate toxins out of our body and helps on concentration.
Keep yourself clean. Dead skin cells are fine dining for the body bugs we host everyday. We wash because the bugs become toxic if unwashed which leads to other fungus.
Exercise regularly. Allocate time frame for this. It helps strengthen our physically and mentally being plus helps your body release endorphins, which increase your feelings of overall.
Have fun at least once a week. Everybody deserves to be happy. Don't stress out too much.
Have a good attitude. Always be positive.Test your self whether you are optimist or pessimist by taking this quiz. Discipline yourself as well. You know what is right from wrong and by doing this you know that these are the things that should be done.

"Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul." 3 John 1:2
