Self Care Thursday *potential triggers*

[Paula]

One for the boys!

“I was trying to find a decent short list of self care tips specifically for men to post today but failed dismally, which says a lot about attitudes towards men’s mental health, I think. Finally, I came across this fantastic article which ends with ‘One day wellness may cease to be a gendered issue. In the meantime, we need to get more men actively taking care of themselves.’ Couldn’t say it better myself 😉. Oh, and it has a short list of self care tips too! Paula x“

You are right. This is a welcome post and it was a good read. From one of the men here thanks for sharing this.

Talking to yourself with kindness matters. If you’re struggling to think of nice things to say, perhaps ask those people in your life who love you to tell you what they love about you. Then repeat it back to yourself. You may not believe it at first but repetition might just change your perspective.

I am not the world’s best cook and do not enjoy it so, when I’m in a bad place, eating healthily is the last thing on my mind. But some of these tips are doable, even for me, so I’ll be keeping this article to hand.

In writing this after the heavens opened in my part of the U.K. Autumn has definitely arrived! My life at the moment is all about pushing my boundaries and finding new ways to live my life to its fullest so I shall definitely be trying some of these.

I’m so sorry Ive been lax at posting anything here. This seems so simple but is often a huge stumbling block for anyone. While doing something for others is good, making sure you’re ok is just as important. And you can’t support others if you’ve crashed.
