Did you know that Caring is one of the core human values and need? We care for ourselves and others because it is embedded in our DNA.
We also equate “Care” via other values such as Love and compassion. Regardless of what we use, caring for ourselves and others is the most critical part of our lives.
So why do we forget to take care of ourselves? Why do we inflict so my pain and suffering to our minds by taking stress?
One of the main reasons is the mistaken belief that if we don’t care for ourselves while taking care of people we love, they will get better. We develop guilt and worry and create a future of negative possibilities.
We forget that our Values are not just what we want. It’s also what we give. So, if we have to show CARE, we need to also take care of ourselves.
We have heard the story where a parent is asked to put on their oxygen mask first before putting it on for their children in a plane. It is common sense. Right?
Then why does common sense fail us when we are taking care of our loved ones? We become so worried and fear the worst, stop doing our routines, sleep late and suffer.
What if we could change all that? What if we could show our loved ones how to be positive and live a good life even during times of distress?
Wouldn’t they be happier? Wouldn’t they feel inspired and want to live and love you more?
What can we do:
* Practice Gratitude. Let’s be thankful for the people in our lives.
* Practice Meditation and Mindfulness. Let’s keep track of our emotions and feelings.
* Practice thinking your thoughts because observation changes behaviour. As soon as you think about what you have on your mind, your thoughts are bound to change.
* Practice caring for yourself so that you can care for others.
