How A Disciplinarian Can Help With Self-care
Before I discuss how a disciplinarian can help a client with their self-care, I think we should look at why self-care is important and then look at what self-care is, and then we can move on to how a disciplinarian can help you with your self-care routine. A true disciplinarian will work with you to improve all aspects of your life.
The Importance of Self-Care
This past year has been a hectic year for many all over the world. People have been coping with all that life brings in many ways. One way is working on self-care practices. There are many reasons why introducing self-care practices into your life can make a pivotal difference in your life. For many, these practices and habits get overlooked in the chaos of the day.
What Is Self-Care
Self-care is defined as any activity that is intentionally meant to care for our mental, physical, emotional, and even spiritual health and wellness. Certain activities are common self-care practices. This means taking care of yourself so that you are healthy physically and mentally.
You are at your best so that you can work, interact with friends and family, and you can do all the things you need to and want to in a day. This can look very different for each individual, but some common self-care activities are listed below.
Self-Care Practices:
- Yoga
- Taking a hot bath to relax
- Enjoying a cup of tea
- Journaling
- Meditation
- Spirituality Practices
- Getting a massage.
- Listening to calming music
- Cutting down on screen time.
And many more.
Why Is Self-Care Important
Adding self-care practices to your life has many benefits. Self-care is shown to reduce stress. In addition, many people feel that making time in their lives for self-care practices improves their own mental health greatly. Many people also report greater levels of happiness in their daily lives when incorporating self-care practices.
Taking care of yourself can also improve physical health. In addition to self-care on a personal level, self-care is a factor when facing illness, disease, or disability. Many health care professionals are adopting an integrative health care style approach that includes checking in with patients to help them seek balance in all aspects of life. This helps people facing illness or disease recover faster, better, and more successfully overall.
How A Disciplinarian Can help With Tips & Accountability With Your Self-Care Routine
- Do you get enough sleep the right amount for you? This can be achieved by setting bedtimes and wake up times.
- Make sure you drink enough water each day to prevent you from becoming dehydrated and fatigued.
- Help with balancing your commitments and priorities to make sure your life is balanced. All work and no play makes your life miserable.
- Work with you to make a weekly schedule that works for you
- Help you to say no to and, if necessary, insist you say no to optional tasks or events you don’t want to take on. Some people struggle to say no; a disciplinarian takes that struggle away from you
- Make sure to stay on top of physical and mental health by seeing you eat a healthy diet, follow doctors advice for any health issues, check that medications are taken at the correct times. Also, make sure that you have timeout sessions to switch off all those thoughts and give your mind a much-needed rest.
- Giving a cathartic spanking and timeout session when required, the pain from the spanking will switch off all those thoughts and let you concentrate on the moment allowing you to enter your subspace and destress
- See that you follow an exercise plan to keep your body & mind active, healthy and able to cope with the stress of modern living.
- Make sure you allow quality time for friends and family life can not be all about work; no one lies on their death bed wishing they had worked more. You don’t want to lie there wishing you had spent more time with family and friends.
A disciplinarian can make sure you make space for self-care in your life and benefit from the positives it provides to physical and mental health. Some aspects of self-care are personally enriching and fun.
Self-care is not selfish; it is vital to being a well healthy and balanced person. This lets you face whatever life throws at you without breaking your stride.
