Self care is really a really important part of our life but we can often feel like we don’t have the time or the space for it in our lives. Storage in Kings Lynn is here to help. Read on to find out how. 

When we hear the term “self care”, it is easy to only think of bubble baths, candles, and face masks but, there is much more to it than that. And it is a really important part of our lives.

Or at least it should be. 

With the rush of day-to-day life, it can seem hard to carve out the time to care for ourselves. Work, parenting, chores all seem like they have to come first. Plus, we don’t always have the right space to take care of ourselves. 

Within this article, we will look at other types of self care and how our storage in Kings Lynn will help you to make room for it. 

What Is Self Care? 

The dictionary definition of “self care” is:

the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one’s own health.

We are practicing self care when we make healthy lifestyle choices and avoid unhealthy habits, like smoking or excessive drinking. It is all the decisions we make that aid our mental and physical health along with our general wellbeing. 

Yes, this sometimes will be deciding to go and have a nice soak in the bath after a stressful day but there are many other self care options that aren’t always considered when talking on the subject of self care. 

What Constitutes Self Care? 

There are many different aspects to self care and, within this section, we are going to look at examples of different types of self care. 

Mental Self Care

Mental self care is things like:

• Reading a book
• Doing a puzzle
• Finding compassion for yourself 

Physical Self Care

Physical self care is all the  things that will help you feel physically well. Examples include:

• Exercising
• Getting plenty of sleep
• Eating a healthy diet

Emotional Self Care

Emotional self care is things like:

• Writing a gratitude list
• Journalling
• Attending therapy

Spiritual Self Care

Spiritual self care is things like:

• Meditation
• Being mindful
• Attending a religious service

Social Self Care 

Social self care is things like:

• Socialising with friends
• Being close with your parents 
• Spending quality time with your family

These are just a few examples of what constitutes self care but really it is just anything that makes you feel good and benefits your mental or physical health and your overall wellbeing. 

Making Room For Self Care With Storage Kings Lynn

You may not delve very deeply into self care because a lot of it requires you to have moments to yourself that are quiet and peaceful. There is a reason the bubble bath has become synonymous with self care because it is the only time we can hide behind a locked door for thirty minutes! 

But, there are ways that you can bring more self care into your day-to-day life. You just need to make room for it, both figuratively and literally. 

Our storage in Kings Lynn can help you with the literal part and, within this section, we will look at how you can make room for self care and how we will help.

Make The Most Of Your Spare Room

A lot of people will have a spare room and put a bed in it so it is ready for guests. Except, how often do you actually have guests? Is your spare room just going to waste 51 weeks of the year? 

You can make some simple changes so this can be a room that can be more useful for you and, in this case, an excellent place to engage in some self care. 

Instead of having a bed, you could get a sofa bed. This will mean that guests can still come and stay (and you can engage in some social self care) but the room is more spacious and practical for you. 

You could journal on the sofa or set up a cosy mediation spot. You could make the room to do some home exercising or to just sit and read.  

If you need to declutter any items to make the most of your space room, these items could be brought to our storage in Kings Lynn. 

Make A Space In Your Bedroom

If you don’t have a spare room, you could make space in your bedroom. Again, you may need to have a declutter but these items can be brought to our storage in Kings Lynn. 

It could be as simple as moving your bedroom furniture around so you can add a chair in which you can journal, meditate, read etc. 

If you share your bedroom with a partner, you will have to talk with them about having the space to yourself sometimes in order to engage in some self care. They may be interested in doing the same so this could become a joint project. 

Create A Sanctuary In Your Box Room 

If you have a small box room in your house, this could become the ultimate self care sanctuary. Anything that is being stored there currently could be brought to our storage in Kings Lynn.
