We have defined what physical Self-Care in the last post. So lets brainstorm some ideas that fit the physical self-care domain.
Physical self-care does not have to be about getting fit and healthy. It is about moving your body. Looking after the physical aspects of your body. Physical self-care is about taking care of the overall health and well-being of your body. Move and have fun while doing it. Get rid of the built up emotions and stress. Remember that sleep is a part of physical self-care. This is an important area to your overall well-being and functioning.
