Do you ever think about implementing self-care practices?


Giving yourself a bit of attention to your own self-care, keeps you in tune and makes you feel more connected to yourself and the world around you. I know we all face difficulty in finding the time to take proper care of ourselves as we all live in a busy world.


But you know what? It becomes hard to care about anything if you don't. Even this pandemic has made it possible when there's enough time to do exactly that.


Honestly speaking, I was also not a person to care for myself, and I always overstressed and struggled to focus on meeting the highest expectations of myself.


But over a couple of months, I began to take better care of myself throughout the pandemic—not just to function, but to bloom at the expense of being a well-rounded person.


Let me tell you one thing: taking care of yourself isn't something like a one-time deal. Instead it's a constant repetition of your healthy habits to flourish yourself emotionally, physically, and mentally.


I believe the best way to implement self-care habits everyday in life is to constantly include love, care and attention for yourself.


I would like to share some low cost ideas that will help you to implement self-care practices in a short span of time.


Here Are 6 Nature Tips For Self-Care Practices You Will Absolutely Love!


1. Basking In The Morning Sun

Or ever feel the rays of the morning sunshine on your face?


I can't tell you how much I love basking in the morning sun, feeling the rays of warmth and essence of a lovely day.


There's a saying that the best things in life are free, and there's nothing quite like the crisp and enchanting morning sun that makes us naturally feel more awake and energetic, and it’s never too late to start fresh.


Okay! Now let me tell you why basking in the morning sun is beneficial for us.


Surprisingly, experiencing daily sunrise makes you feel refreshed and better. Not even this, the morning sunshine is more than just warmth and the ability to start a lovely day.


Apart from this, there's a lot of other miracle that the sun bless us with everyday including:

It's hard to develop a routine free from all the distractions or interruptions but it needs to be focused to quickly deal with it all. I know it's not an easy task but to make it happen you must push away things that do not fit in the day’s theme.


More importantly, de-clutter your brain, come out of your comfort zone and make a healthy routine free from all obstacles. 


Here I am sharing some healthy ways to help you in crafting an effective routine:


  • Make a to-do list to identify your daily schedules based on work and leisure time

Have you ever worried about a lack of work performance or finding yourself in an uncomfortable situation?


I'm sure all of us have!


I’ve learned from my own perspective that it often happens that something gets us stuck that keeps ourselves upset, feeling unfilled or comparing with others' lives. Without knowing that everyone holds a different lens of reality, interprets things in different ways and explores life through their own filters.


Several factors hinders the natural regulation of the brain such as disturbance due to a permanent worry, the overload of work or the lack of rest in the sleep.

Follow these crucial tips to stabilize your mind in a healthy and optimal state:

  • Go for daily walks to allow a greater entrance of oxygen to the brain
  • Add nutritional and adequate diet
  • Pamper your body with some yoga twists
  • Experience the sound of silence
  • Say hello to plants to oxygenate and strengthen the brain
  • Avoid negative thoughts, stress, and anxiety to stay positive
  • Give your body a mindful attention
  • Stop intoxicating your brain from smoking, consuming alcohol, cigarettes, illegal drugs as well as caffeine
  • Have a comfortable sleep to relax your mind


5. Rejuvenate Your Skin

Wondering how to rejuvenate your skin and give it a softness and vibrancy?


No doubt, we all want healthy and glowing skin. Impacting from various factors like sun exposure, using different skin products can easily replace a fresh-looking face with dull-looking skin.


So it's vital to take proper care of your skin every day to prevent skin dullness and make it appear more healthy and youthful. 


Read on these simple tips to rejuvenate your skin:


  • Protect your skin from direct sunlight by wearing sunscreen with a high SPF
  • Wear protective clothing like shirts, hats and sunglasses.
  • Exfoliate, moisturize, massage and apply facial masks for healthy looking skin

  • Stay hydrated
  • Have a good laugh
  • Add an extra portion of fruits and veggies in your meal
  • Limit the quantity of sugar in your diet
  • Avoid harsh chemicals as it can irritate the skin

  • Keep your skin clean
  • Take a good nap

Physiognomy – The Art Of Face Reading

Manorma Verma
The term 'Physiognomy' is a Greek word where physio meaning 'nature' and gnomon meaning 'judge' or 'interpreter'. It is a science that helps to assess a person’s character or personality, abilities and motives especially by his facial features.  In modern science, the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning for facial recognition has brought a revival of interest.
