It was then that I learned what self care meant to me, and how important the practice is to my own mental health and overall wellbeing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since practicing self care that year and experiencing its results firsthand, I\u2019ve made self care a priority in our busy, fast-paced, and efficiency-minded world. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, like me, you find yourself struggling to stay grounded, consider these tips for making yourself a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self Care Practice of Saying &#8220;No&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For years, I\u2019ve struggled to say \u201cno\u201d\u2014to friends, to family, to employers\u2014which resulted in a cycle of taking on too much, getting overwhelmed, and burning out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a full-time faculty member, sister, daughter, daughter-in-law, aunt, wife, and dog mom, there\u2019s enough to keep me busy without taking on additional time-consuming tasks or emotional labor. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At work, I\u2019m often asked to accept other responsibilities, such as committee work, course development, and conference attendance. While many of these may assist my own professional development, there\u2019s a point at which all the \u201cextra stuff\u201d takes away from my primary jobs of serving students and caring for myself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Spreading yourself too thin means not succeeding at any of it.&nbsp;<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, to the requests that aren\u2019t mandatory (or strongly encouraged), I respectfully decline. Not due to laziness, unwillingness, or poor work ethic, but as an act of self-preservation. Opportunities to serve will always exist, and they can be \u2026 in the future, likely with more \u2026. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the pursuit of self-care, also consider saying \u201cno\u201d to extraneous drama.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s <strong>easy<\/strong> to take on others\u2019 pain, frustrations, or sadness. In my work environment, contention and conflict could occupy every spare moment, even the scenarios that don\u2019t directly affect me. It\u2019s tempting to get involved, to try and solve the problem, or to let it bother me (even after hours). However, allowing my emotions to get hijacked by these distractions isn\u2019t conducive to my self-care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, it\u2019s helpful to draw a line. To acknowledge when the burden isn\u2019t ours to carry. Our \u201cbrain space\u201d\u2014as I call it\u2014is occupied enough without taking on everyone else\u2019s emotional cargo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saying \u201cno\u201d when I\u2019m at max capacity is something I\u2019m still working on; it\u2019s a tough habit to break. But the benefit of lightening your load is worth it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self Care Practice of Starting Fresh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At a low point in a previous semester, I reached out to Facebook friends for advice on handling stress. A friend named Lisa, who works in a similar environment, shared that she takes a bath each evening\u2014not simply for relaxation or alone time, but because of the symbolic act of \u201cwashing off the day.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She wasn\u2019t wrong!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot water, Epsom salt, and essential oils can work wonders for the body and the mind. Lighting a candle, especially one scented with eucalyptus or lavender, can help facilitate a relaxing environment. Along with literally shedding toxins, this practice can help shed toxic thoughts as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Let go of negativity. Let it drain along with the bath water. &nbsp;<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By washing off the day, one is able to sleep more soundly and start fresh the next morning. Clean skin and a clear mind, along with fresh bedding and a good night\u2019s sleep, should not be underestimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self Care Practice of Slowing Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel guilty for sitting on the couch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There, I said it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve been conditioned to think that \u201cnot doing anything\u201d is a sin against productivity. However, it\u2019s been proven time and again that rest and mindless entertainment actually increase the likelihood of accomplishing tasks and doing them well. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Your downtime is yours; how to you want to spend it?<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I allow myself to binge-watch Netflix, to read a book, to do some creative writing, or to sit in silence if that\u2019s what\u2019s needed. If spending money is an option, I\u2019ll indulge in a pedicure, massage, or skin care treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We all have our \u201cthings\u201d: those services or products that make us pampered or refreshed. Find yours, and do that.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resting is doing something, something important; it\u2019s what the mind and body actually need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self Care Practice of Simplifying&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Clutter ramps up my anxiety, making it hard to focus on urgent work that should take precedence over tidying house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, I recently spent time cleaning out my closets: getting back to staple pieces that I know I\u2019m going to wear\u2014and wear more than once. Doing so results in less laundry, less frustration in the morning when I can\u2019t find the item(s) I\u2019m looking for, and less time putting together outfits that match. Likewise, I discard clothing items that no longer fit. On a hectic morning, it\u2019s discouraging to try on one pair of pants after another, only to discover they\u2019ve gotten too small!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For teaching purposes, I\u2019m committed to wearing what feels comfortable, as long as my wardrobe meets our dress code. While heels may make the more fashionable choice, they don\u2019t work well when it comes to standing in the classroom for long periods of time or to walking from one end of our campus to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Establishing an optimal learning environment starts with me. If I\u2019m focused, clear-headed, and comfortable, my students are more likely to mirror that behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self Care Practice of Signing Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, we must advocate for our own well-being. No one else is going to do it for us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We owe it to ourselves to re-center and recharge through the practice of self-care, whatever form that might take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Ready focus on your mental health as an entrepreneur?
