Building Resilience: Focus on Emotional Self-Care

Building Resilience: Focus on Emotional Self-Care
FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin

All of our emotions are necessary; even if one day you wake up with negative feelings, just allow yourself to accept them. Nonetheless, it’s ok not to feel ok. We are human beings and not robots; as such, we cannot be in exciting mood at all times. Life is like a cardiogram, with its ups and downs.

In that regard, it is vital to give priority to emotional self-care which allows us to ally ourselves with our emotions for the benefit of our health and well-being. In essence, this type of self-care is a way of taking control of who we are. With proper focus on emotional self-care, we can be able to recognize ourselves, feel ourselves, take care of ourselves and dedicate time to our mind and emotions.

Types of meditation that can help

  1. Deep breathing: Sit or lie down comfortably, slowly count to four while inhaling through your nose. Hold your breath for a second. Slowly count to four while your exhale. Repeat a few times.
  2. Mindfulness Meditation: Focus on your breath. Notice anything that passes through your awareness without judgement. If your mind starts to tackle your to-do list, just return to focusing on your breath.
  3. Visualization: Close your eyes, relax and image a peaceful place, like a forest. Engage all your senses; hear the leaves, smell the damp soil, feel the breeze.
  4. Repeat a mantra: Sit quietly and pick any meaningful or soothing word, phrase or sound. Experts say the repetition creates a physical relaxation responses
  5. Participate in a meditative form of exercise: Try tai chi or qi gong, which use flowing motions.
Try to dedicate up to 20 minutes every day to meditation to feel you emotions!
