3 Ways I'm Working on My Emotional Self-Care

Recently, my therapist pointed out that even though I'm pretty good about basic self-care, like getting enough sleep and drinking water, I've been neglecting my emotional self-care. As soon as she said something, I knew she was right. I'd been avoiding my emotions by refusing to engage in anything that might make me emotional, like journaling, sad movies, or even listening to music. So I decided it was time to revamp my emotional self-care with these three basic changes.

How I Changed My Emotional Self-Care

The first step I took toward feeling my emotions again was simply accepting that something needed to change. At first, I resisted. I liked not feeling my emotions all the time because I liked feeling like I had control. But then I realized that if I could only feel in control when I was avoiding my feelings, that meant my feelings were still the ones actually in control.

Once I realized it was time to make a change, this is how I improved my emotional self-care:

1. I changed my morning routine.
2. I started emotional freedom technique (EFT) tapping more regularly.
3. I started tracking my moods, habits, and triggers.
