TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF IN 2022: HOW DO YOU DO IT?

The start of a new year is often associated with new resolutions for most of us. Psychologically, we see this period as a new slate to be filled with, if possible, as many good habits and gestures as possible.

However, the current social situation is not exactly conducive to celebration.

So we need to be mentally strong and physically fit if we are to continue living our normal lives and simply be happy.

Beyond the good resolutions we make every New Year and forget a few months later, it’s all about gradually integrating good habits that contribute to good physical and mental health.

In this post, we give you some tips on how to take care of yourself in 2022, with simple but effective habits.

Treat yourself to a massage

Work, children, managing the household…all these things weigh down on our minds, adding to our mental load on a daily basis. This load also manifests itself in our bodies, which accumulate tension and eventually become tired. That’s why it’s so important to release these tensions through therapeutic methods such as massage.

A relaxing 90-minute massage by a professional once or twice a month is an excellent way to unwind and relax those tired muscles. For added effectiveness, don’t hesitate to use Balm Relax Tsara , which has been specially formulated to relieve muscle aches and pains.

Eat healthy

The quality of your diet has a direct impact on your health. To achieve this, you need to limit refined products and complex sugars as much as possible, as these are the body’s primary enemies.

Start by assessing your eating habits to determine whether or not you’re eating healthily. Then gradually adapt your daily menu so that you have a quarter of protein, a quarter of carbohydrates and vegetables on your plate every time.

Do your best to include at least one vegetable or fruit at every meal.

Put your house in order

Your home should be your haven of peace, your refuge after a long day’s work. It’s vital to create a healthy environment for body and mind. This means, above all, keeping this space clean and tidy by adopting the following habits:

• Tidy up every morning before starting the day.
• Sort through your belongings to remove clutter.
• Clean at least once a year, and ideally at the end of each season.
• List the chores you need to do around the house to keep it clean and tidy. Then dip into the chores as soon as possible to keep the interior clean and tidy.
• Gradually tidy up according to the 2-minute rule. This means that if a task takes at least 2 minutes to complete, you should get on with it right away.

The same applies to your workstation, whether you’re working from home or in an open-plan office. A tidy, clean office is an environment that encourages creativity, productivity and well-being. This includes:

• Classify all files and store them in the appropriate cabinets or boxes.
• Sort e-mails according to a system that ensures consistency and order.
• Clean and disinfect regularly.

Disconnect

Social networking addiction is an affliction that affects young and old alike. It not only affects our physical and mental health, but also our sense of social interaction. That’s why we strongly advise you to disconnect regularly. :

• Disconnect at bedtime and keep your phone away from your bedside table.
• Replace the phone with a book.
• Plan a “zero social networking” day at least once a month, or preferably once a week, if you are one of those people who are online every day, from morning to night.
• Don’t take out an Internet subscription during your vacations to avoid spending them in front of your screens.

This digital “detox” helps reduce stress and anxiety, and also helps you enjoy social interaction with your loved ones.

Sleep tight

A good night’s sleep is always a good way to tackle a new working day. You need to make sure you get a good night’s sleep, especially if you have poor sleeping habits:

• Respect your sleep cycle.
• Avoid all screens in the evening.
• Create a calm, clean and airy environment in your bedroom..
