When it comes to thinking about self-care, men may get the idea it’s all about manicures, pedicures and feel-good exercises. Yet self-care is more than just a session at the beauty parlour.
Guys, it’s okay to put yourself first and practice self-care. It won’t make you less manly and self-care doesn’t have to involve lighting scented candles and relaxing in a petal covered bath (unless you want to).
When we exercise we aren’t only looking after our bodies, we are also relieving the built-up stress and anxiety we have faced. Exercise releases endorphins, which are the “feel-good” neurotransmitters in your brain.
Being creative doesn’t necessarily mean you have to get all arty and take up painting landscapes and still life pictures (but if that’s what excites you, then go for it!).
