Self-Care Techniques for Busy People

Brad Krause

No matter whether you work out regularly, get good sleep each night, or make sure to eat healthy meals every day, you may need to practice some additional self-care.  Even if you are already good at incorporating parts of this concept into your daily routine, the only way to truly become healthy in all senses of the word is to regularly practice a well-rounded routine of self-care.  Here are some ways you can incorporate different tactics into your everyday life, as well as a few strategies to give yourself a quick and easy mental health boost when you most need it.

Start at home

While it may not always feel like it, we spend more time at home than anywhere else. Since our environment plays such a substantial role in influencing our thoughts and feelings, as well as helping us accomplish our goals in life, it’s important to ensure our living space is designed for our happiness and health in mind. Keeping your home clutter-free can reduce stress and fatigue. Keeping cold, filtered water in the fridge can make it easier to stay hydrated. Creating a meditation space – one with calming colors, with simple design elements and bursting with natural light – can encourage you to engage in solitude, disconnect from others, and connect with your inner self.

There are also ways you can cut down on the amount of time you spend in the kitchen after a long day at work.  Although picking up fast food on the way home might seem like a great time-saving method, purchasing useful appliances like electric pressure cookers can allow you to quickly and healthfully create meals while saving you the expense of a drive-thru trip.  For example, pressure cookers can make great dishes such as chicken noodle soup, fettuccine alfredo, vegetable coup, and green pepper casserole, to name only a few.

Incorporate regular breaks into your daily routine

The first things you should take particular care to incorporate into your daily routine are regular breaks.  It can be extremely tempting to fill your day with a busy morning, packed work day, and an evening full of familial duties; however, it is critical that you take some time several times per day to rest and allow yourself to breathe.  While it may seem like a break will lead to you getting less done on your particular set of tasks for the day, it actually will help increase your productivity. Stress and mental exhaustion inhibit your ability to follow through with tasks and complete them successfully.

Stress also compromises your mental health, along with your ability to handle your work under pressure.  This does not mean that you need to take full-hour breaks repeatedly throughout the day – instead, breaks as short as five to ten minutes, distributed as you need them, are enough to clear your mind and allow you to focus.  If you are not used to taking breaks, it may be difficult to get yourself in the right mental state, particularly when you have many other things to get done in the rest of the day.  To make it easier on yourself, turn off the lights, tell your coworkers or family that you would prefer not to be disturbed for a bit, and keep your room or office quiet. You can help yourself relax by practicing breathing exercises that slow your heart rate.

Smile more

An under-utilized aspect of self-care is our own self-presentation.  Going through your daily routines with a glum expression will often make you feel gloomy.  Smiling can help boost your mood.  It can also make your business run much more smoothly. People tend to smile in response to the smiles of others. In turn, they get a mood boost as well, which can make professional and social interactions easier.

Get a full night of sleep

Many of the techniques you use when taking brief breaks or naps throughout the day can also make it easier for you to fall asleep at night.  Getting a good night’s sleep is critical for your overall wellness – good sleep hygiene can help you feel more energized and capable during the day, and can provide you with more stamina on even the busiest of days.  To ensure you get good sleep, go to bed early enough to get 7-8 hours of shuteye, turn off electronic devices two hours before bed, and don’t have coffee or alcohol at night.

No matter how busy you are, be sure to take the time for self-care practices.  Remember, it doesn’t require much time – enough time for sleep, plus a break or two during the day, will be enough to help improve your overall wellness.

Jesus: You are Bringing to Light What Needs to be Revealed

  • You live in tumultuous times and you live in a time of fulfilment. … You are leaving compassion and latitude for correction and understanding.

 When you see the shadow, it defines the light.  (Jesus through Linda Dillon, Heart Call, Sept. 19, 2020.)

The Mother’s Clarion Call to All of Humanity!

This is my clarion call to all of humanity to embrace love, to embrace truth, to embrace peace…

The Divine Mother’s Mandate

  • Build what is divinely beautiful. I give you my divine authority to do so. I will guide you. I will help you. But I entrust this to you as well. …
  • We are helping you. That gateway is open and you are being flooded and you are being assisted and you will be assisted every step of the way.
  • (“Transcript ~ The Divine Mother: Take Up Your Divine Authority, AHWAA, February 23, 2017,” February 28, 2017.)
  • On the Divine Plan for Ascension.

Bring It Back to the Love

  • Beloved child, son of my heart, [Ascension, spiritual evolution] is only about love, about the many expressions, about the many forms.
  • And truly of anchoring and being nothing but the love, in intellect, in wisdom, in sharing, in adventure, in relationship.
  • It can only be [that way] when you continue to bring all adventures, all arguments, all explorations back to the love.
  • (The Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, April 30, 2019; also at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/06/01/the-divine-mother-it-is-all-a-journey-of-love/).

The Pattern of the Mother

  • This universe is designed around the pattern of the Divine Mother. What is that pattern?
  • Creation, preservation, transformation = love building, love preserving, love dissolving = inbreath, pause, outbreath = rajas, sattwa, thamas (gunas) = Akar, Ukar, Makar (Aum) = Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva (Trimurthy).

Archangel Michael: Do not Get Caught in the Drama of White Hats or Black Hats

  • Beloved ones, do not allow yourselves to be distracted, yes, by the chaos….
  • Do not get caught in the drama of white hats or black hats, or good guys or bad guys. All beings are birthed directly from the Heart of One…. (“Archangel Michael: Do not Get Caught in the Drama of White Hats or Black Hats,” Nov. 12, 2019; see here.

Do not Venture Where There is No Love

Do not venture where there is no love. Because, if there is no love, then there is no truth. And if there is no truth, there will not be peace and [peace], Sweet One, is the Plan. (Archangel Michael in a  personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, June 17, 2020.)

Ronna Vezane ~ Archangel Michael’s Gift: New Age Creed

Werner Erhard on Responsibility

“Responsibility begins with the willingness to take the stand that one is cause in the matter of one’s life. It is a declaration not an assertion, that is, it is a context from which one chooses to live. Responsibility is not burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame or guilt. In responsibility, there is no….”  (Read more…)
