Selfcare is an essential part of your wellbeing. It\u2019s more than just \u2018treating yourself\u2019 or \u2018doing what feels good\u2019 and quite often, these ideas aren\u2019t always in line with what self-care is really about\u2026 because sometimes, people confuse self-care and self-soothing.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is self-care?<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-14509 size-fusion-400 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"self care\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-14509 size-fusion-400 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"self care\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/noscript><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Selfcare is about taking care of yourself not just for now, but for the future too. It\u2019s about making you feel rejuvenated, to help you keep going. \u2018Filling your cup\u2019 as some people say. It also focuses on addressing basic needs and setting realistic goals. It can even involve creating or changing habits that may not feel comfortable in the moment but are followed with long-term benefits in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Stress can occur any day and <a href=\"https:\/\/wowbeauty.co\/health-and-wellbeing\/100-ways-to-cultivate-calm-mindful-holistic-wellness-practices\/\">self-care practices<\/a> are all about tools that help you build up your resilience during tough times, helping you create positive habits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some examples of self-care practices:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Long term strategy<\/li>\n<li>Get health checks and filling your prescriptions<\/li>\n<li>Eating nourishing foods<\/li>\n<li>Staying hydrated<\/li>\n<li>Going to therapy<\/li>\n<li>Prioritising sleep<\/li>\n<li>Setting up a budget<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_self-soothing\"><\/span><strong>What is self-soothing?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>However, there are times when we have so much stress, that we go into survival mode\u2026 and self-soothing skills can help you get through these moments. Self-soothing helps you to resist negative thoughts and urges in the moment\u2026. It helps distract us from feelings or impulses that are very difficult to tolerate. You may not realise you\u2019ve developed some daily habits.<\/p>\n<p>You can make both self-care and self-soothing part of your wellbeing practices, but make sure you\u2019re using them in the right context and not substituting one for the other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some examples of self-soothing behaviours:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gets you through the moment<\/li>\n<li>Binge-watching TV<\/li>\n<li>Eating your favourite food<\/li>\n<li>Treating yourself to a fancy coffee<\/li>\n<li>Retail therapy<\/li>\n<li>Cuddling up under a cozy blanket<\/li>\n<li>Listening to music on the way to work<\/li>\n<li>Having a bath<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>These are some that cross over both of those lists:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Making time for friends and family<\/li>\n<li>Exercising or movement<\/li>\n<li>Practising meditation or mindfulness regularly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, sometimes actions can be self-care and sometimes, it\u2019s self-soothing.<\/p>\n<p>What you should be asking yourself is: are you doing this to feel better right or, or doing it to contribute to feeling good in the future?<\/p>\n<p>This is something you should be mindful about \u2013 and if what\u2019s feeling good right now is impacting your self-care practices, you should think twice about how to approach the situation. It can be easy to fall into self-soothing, feeling better in the moment, without trying to do something to contribute to feeling better in the future\u2026 so keep that in mind!
