7 Self Care Examples: High-Tech Ways, Look Inwards, Simple Skincare

Our understanding of what means self-care has changed dramatically in the last two years. Yes, arranging a pedicure or drawing a lovely bath used to be enough, but in today’s uncertain times, self-care has taken on a deeper significance. Here is a roundup of easy self care examples 2022.

7 Self Care Examples: High-Tech Ways, Look Inwards, Simple Skincare

Take “breather breaks”

It seems like we’re on our phones and running from the time we get up until we fall asleep, and that pace isn’t good for anybody.

If the epidemic taught us anything, it’s that if we take a break, the world won’t come apart.

So take genuine breaks throughout the day, not phone breaks when you read through Instagram.

Put down your phone and spend a few minutes concentrating on your breathing and checking in with yourself to see how you’re feeling.

This might be difficult if you have children at home, but try to make a place and time for silence.

Visit The Wellness Show

Make arrangements to visit The Wellness Show, March 26 & 27, at The Vancouver Convention Centre, to hear more about self-care and health and wellness trends in 2022.

You’ll find information on food and lifestyle (vegan, keto, gluten free), exercise, holistic healing practises (massage, physiotherapy, chiropractors, acupressure, shiatsu, acupuncture, and more), the metaphysical, supplements, natural skincare, candles, pet wellness, essential oils, and wellness resorts among the 125 exhibitors and over 40 guest speakers.

The worldwide epidemic has resulted in unprecedented levels of stress, and self-care is now a prerequisite for life.

The show’s theme this year is self-care.

Tickets are just $10 and may be bought online here. Visit thewellnessshow.com for more details.

Use Hi-Tech for Health

Wearable technology has become the standard, particularly in the past two years as our health and fitness regimens have grown more “at home.”

The TUT Fitness Trainer, an easily stowable home gym, is now more inexpensive than ever.

Another hot item is Hapbee, a wearable that may make you feel more awake (like coffee) or drowsy (like melatonin) by playing magnetic frequency recordings of molecules.

Eat Mindfully

As a kind of self-care during the epidemic, we resorted to comfort food.

While we are now on the other side of that, there has been a significant movement in what meals we consider to be “good” or “bad” in the last two years.

All foods are neutral.

It is the labels we give things that determine whether they are good or bad.

Diet culture has created a rift between our bodies and our natural hunger signals.

“Food is not the enemy,” explains Andrea Saliba, a Certified Holistic Nutritionist. Saliba, who had previously been entrenched in diet culture, understood that “some meals offer fuel for our bodies, while others may weigh us down.” She’s published a cookbook and will be on hand at The Wellness Show to answer questions and demonstrate culinary techniques.

Make Sober Choices

While we’re on the subject of items we resorted to for solace during the epidemic, alcohol merits a mention.

There are now so many great alcohol-free options, such as tasty Sober Carpenter beer, a non-alcoholic crafted G&T from local Opus or Solbru, and non-alcoholic elixirs made with mushrooms, herbal extracts, apple cider vinegar, and spices specially blended to help you feel elevated, inspired, and connected.

All of these will be available for sampling at this year’s Wellness Show.

Look Inwards Positively

Inward-looking practises include counselling, mediation, writing, positive self-talk, and gratitude.

Self-care has expanded beyond meeting our bodily needs, and our attention is turning inward, toward doing the work that will help us become better individuals and heal trauma.

It’s about being the greatest version of ourselves and putting it out there to do good in the world.

Practice Simple Skincare

A 14-step overnight cleansing process is unnecessary!

The ideal appearance is healthy, bright skin that you don’t have to conceal with cosmetics.

Choose vegan and locally sourced items made with whole, uncomplicated ingredients like Nuez Acres Pecan Oil Serum.
