Good self-care habits improve general health indirectly, by helping the body cope with stress more efficiently. What you will notice soon after you start taking better care of yourself is replenished energies and a more optimistic, more confident approach to life’s difficulties, but here are some of the long-term positive effects of taking better care of yourself:
- The relaxation response – giving your body what it needs in terms of diet, physical exercise as well as emotionally will trigger the counterpart of the fight-or-flight reaction to stress. With proper self-care, you can train your body to provide a less intensive response to stressful situations, maintaining the normal functioning of the nervous system even when you used to produce stress reactions before;
- A better appearance – the combination of proper diet and hydration, regular exercise and focus on your own emotional well-being will soon bring positive results noticeable on your face as well as on your figure. These positive changes will make you feel better about yourself and will further motivate you to take care of your own needs. The process will also result in improved self-esteem and a more positive outlook on life in general, things that will improve your quality of life as well as your relationship with others.
