Women juggle many things. Emotional wellness plays an important role in staying healthy and strong. While many may say that multi-tasking has its roots in personal choice and that one simply need to learn time management, it is important to understand that women who indulge in a lot of activities need to take a little moment to care for themselves.

Here are some tips to do the same!

1. Always believe that anything is possible, but remember that it is not wrong to put your own interests first when you most need it. Remember, happiness is not about wealth and money, but about the intangibles.
2. Let go of the little things. Don’t be a nitpicker and worry about what others think of you or will think of you if you choose to or choose not to do something.
3. Embrace change. Always be open to learning – if you look at every opportunity around you as one that can help you learn and evolve, you won’t be resistant to change.
4. Love without fear, give without fear and live without fear. This starts from being centred and grounded in yourself. If you love unconditionally, you will feel a lot lighter at heart.
5. Accept yourself the way you are, but strive to improve, no less. Yes, it is good to change, but change only for the better, and if it will benefit you and your loved ones.

6. Always eat well. It is important that you eat well, and eat nourishing food. Foods that have a rich supply of vitamins, folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids and salts keep your brains sharp and active. An empty stomach can also cause your mind to slow down. Starving is a big no-no!

7. Get enough sleep! If you give your body at least six to eight hours of sleep each day, your mind is sharp, alert and remains with good memory. You are less susceptible to stress when you rest well. Otherwise, your mind is full of thoughts and it destabilises your capacity to think.

8. Exercise regularly: Keeping your body fit and exercising regularly gives you physical strength to withstand stress. Exercises also keep your mind fit, allowing you to blow off steam from all the demands of life and work. Yoga and breathing exercises specifically help you fight stress and keep calm.

9. Be social: The more you talk to people around you and interact with them in real time, the better your mind is at staying healthy. Interactions have been confined heavily by technology, and these things tend to stunt your social skills. Talk to people, have simple and light-hearted conversations and engage with others for a healthy mind.

10. Indulge in a skill: Keep up with your hobbies and talents, enjoy a skill and hone a hobby. The more you do to keep your creative juices flowing, the more vibrant you become, inside and out. It gives your mind a fantastic workout that will allow you to be more alert and sharp. Doing puzzles and playing games also allows you to keep your memory, logical and decision-making skills and thinking skills alive.

11. Laugh out loud! Watch sitcoms that are funny, read a funny book, listen to jokes and perhaps even join a laughter club. The more you laugh, the more you allow your mind to soak in cheerful fervour. A cheery disposition sets in, making you capable of taking on life’s stresses without tension.

It is important to make sure that your mind, just as your body, gets all the nourishment it needs, to stay healthy. Don’t neglect your mental health – remember, you deserve happiness!
