I have a confession to make. I’m usually very careless about myself.
When it comes to my health and lifestyle, I don’t pay much attention.
I can’t even remember the last time I did a proper workout.
I do try to start meditating now and then, but the streak never seems to last more than four or five days.
So, I’m definitely not the best example to follow.
Somehow, though, I’ve managed to maintain my health so far.
I don’t have any major health issues at the moment. (touch wood)
My weight has been stable between 74-76 kgs for the last five years, I guess. My BMI is also in the ‘healthy’ category.
I’m not very proud of saying all this, and maybe this is the reason I haven’t taken the necessary steps to improve my physical health.
I know it’s a ticking time bomb, and I need to work on it.
But there is one thing I do take care of: my mental health.
If I find a job or work that’s causing me stress, I don’t think twice about leaving it.
Again, I know this might not be the ideal way to handle things, but I just can’t keep working when I’m not in the right state of mind.
As my sister and family often remind me, being the youngest, I have the ‘leverage’ to do so.
So, what does my self-care look like?
I take breaks. I watch sunsets. I just sit and relax. I sleep. I listen to music to make myself feel good.
I travel whenever I can (and when I can afford it).
I write in journals and blogs like this one to get everything out of my head and just dump it into the world.
