How to use self-care?
Write it down, let people see it.
Don't be ashamed
because everybody does it differently.
I wanna hear from you.
And I enjoy talking to students 
and young adults
because the amount of pressure 
that young people deal with
is enough to make anyone want to give up
and quit.
I had a teacher growing up that told me
the future was in my hands
and not to mess it up.
Wow, thanks, teach.
As if I didn't have enough problems
in my life already.
If there's one video that 
you watch on Youtube today.
I hope it's this.
Because I'm here to help you
understand self-care.
If you want to live a happy 
and healthy life,
you have to put yourself first 
when you need it the most.
Regardless of the consequences that may occur,
it's better to lose your job,
lose your partner, fail your test
or walk away than it is to forget
who you are.
The reality is that even though we paint
a perfect picture of what our life
should look like
it's never turns out the way we want it.
And that's OK. Because it's not trying to avoid
the storms that happen in life,
but learning how to dance in the rain
and when all odds are against you
and everything's a mess.
Two words, self-care,
because at the end of the day,
you're got to live with a choices 
you make in life.
No one else.
It's time we start putting our best
interest at the top of our to do list
Physically it's the actives you can do
that will help you 
with the stress in your life.
Financially it's the money 
you're spending
or the money you're saving
Spiritually, it's your religion,
not someone else's religion, 
your religion.
Mentally, it's how to control
your emotions
or even handle regrets.
Relationships like your family,
your friends.
Time management, 
what are you wasting your time on?
Your future, what's your goals,
your plans and the dreams you have?
Your legacy?
What are you leaving behind?
Sacrifices,
What do you know you need to do that
you're not doing?
And self-control.
What are your weaknesses and
how can be better?
I'm here today to help you
understand self-care.
Self-care needs to be treated as a
priority and not a luxury.
We get caught up
in taking the heavy weight
of problems in life
and forget to take care of ourselves.
And as you can tell, eveyone has
different levels of self-care
and what work for me
might not work for you.
But you've got to keep trying
Let's start with Financial of self-care.
It's that moments when you just got paid
and you know you're not trying to spend
all your money on that stupid thing
you saw on Facebook, 
because everybody else has
one except you.
Financial self-care is knowing that just
because you can 
but it doesn't mean you should.
So you put your extra saving away in
the bank and it becomes a habit.
And then all of a sudden that's all you
ever do is save your money.
And now you're back to begining.
You start living a miserable life
because before you had a spending problem
and now you have a savings problem.
And maybe for you, financial self-care
is going out and
finally buying something.
I think you need to treat yourself.
These are Physical things we do 
and it's all self-care.
We need to start to enjoying a good meal
or just going on a walk.
Playing with your pet or hitting the gym.
These are physical self-care habits
that are important, like practicing your
yoga skills are playing
that new video game.
Sometimes it's things like dusting off.
that old skateboard 
or creating something with your hands.
What about
mentally taking care of yourself?
See that's a tricky one.
Because no one in this entire world
has a mind and 
the thoughts that you have.
It's important that we take care of the
strongest muscle in our body
and that's our brain.
Decluttering your mind from 
stress is difficult when we live busy lives.
And knowing that you're may need medications,
you may need a therapist,
you may need to take extra time
from your life for your mental health.
And that's OK.
Let's talk Spiritual self-care.
You got menditations Christianity, Jehovah,
Mormon, Buddhists, monks, Jewish.
And just an overall connection
with higher self.
Knowing that there's a reason you were born,
knowing that you have a purpose
on this planet is important
Because of when you think of it like that
things start to change.
And now Relationships, who you call when you're stressed out
who's there for you
when you breaking down.
They say you are the average of
the five people you spend the most time with.
So choose wisely who is going
to enhance your realtionship
self-care routine, because even if you
have no one there, the beauty about
realtionships is that they can blossom
with a single conversation.
Sacrifice self-care
is knowing what you need to do 
but you not doing it.
You know that you need 
to take better care of your body.
You know that you need to stop saying
hurtful things about yourself.
You know that you're overworking yourself
in any day now, you might snap.
Scarifice for the things
you need to work on.
Self control self-care.
What do you weaknesses and 
how can you be better ?
Are you the type of person that can't
help it when your friends are inviting
you out to party but you know,
you should be studying?
And it's hard to have self-control
to say no.
But saying no can be ultimate self-care routine.
You have to learn to say no without feeling guilty.
Setting self-control bounfaries is healthy.
You can still be a good person and say no.
You can still have a kind heart 
and say no.
Don't let people tell you otherwise.
At the end of the day, just make sure
you're not saying no to youself.
You do you. You walk way, cancel plans,
change your mind, take break,
and most importantly
saying true to yourself.
Let's talk Time management.
Who else has checked their phone
installed a 1 percent
battery life symbol.
Yeah.
How fast are you trying to send that
last text message?
Just like your phone was on full battery
at the start of the day,
you wasted it away
watching cat videos.
Well your life has an expiration date.
A lot of people are miserable because
they spend years of their life doing something that they hate.
So take a risk and make time for yourself.
You got goals and big plans that
you're been dreaming about.
And if you don't start heading in that direction.
you're going to miss out forever.
I don't care how ridiculous your dream
is because you weere given a vision
just like thay laughed at Edison 
and how they teach Elon.
This world breeds extraordinary people
from time to time.
And you just happened to be one of them.
You are what you leave behind in this wprld.
How do you want to be remembered?
It's entirely up to you.
