The 5 elements of self awareness:

2. Types of Self Care

*Physical *Social *Mental *Spiritual *Emotional 

When it comes to physical self care, ask yourself the following questions to assess whether there might be some areas you need to improve:

*Are you getting enough sleep? *Is your diet fuelling your body well? *Are you taking charge of your health? *Are you getting enough exercise?

It is okay to put yourself first. Self care is an important part of managing your stress and can help you stay happy and healthy.

Self care is what you do to care for your mind, body and spirit. Practicing self care can help anyone feel mentally and emotionally strong when dealing with life’s many ups and downs.

Common self care techniques include mindfulness and meditation, but there are many ways to care for yourself. It’s important to explore your options and find activities that are enjoyable or meaningful to you.

3. Relationships

Resilience relationships are able to handle the weight of conflict. They are stretchy like a rubber band, not fragile like eggshells. Practices of resilient relationships include showing up, seeing and being seen, sharing power, disagreeing well and taking  breaks.

Healthy disagreements is especially important for relationships to be strong.

Friendships of the good, are based on mutual respect and admiration.

Friendships have a huge impact on your mental health and happiness. Good friends relieve stress, provide comfort and joy and prevent loneliness and isolation. Developing close friendships can also have a powerful impact on your physical health.

4. Purpose

Your life purpose consists of the motivating aims of your life. The reasons you get up in the morning. Purpose can guide life decisions, influence behaviour, shape goals, offer a sense of direction and create meaning. For some people, purpose is connected to vocation, meaningful, satisfying work, Things to do.

5 Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you are sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgement. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress.

A meditation exercise: focus on an aspect of your breathing, such as the sensations of air flowing into your nostrils and out of your mouth, or your belly rising and falling as you inhale and exhale.

Life Coaching: will help people navigate the complexities and uncertainties of life.
