Improve Your Mental Health With Self-Care

With Emilio Jose Garcia

Self-care is care provided for you by you. It is a very simple, yet powerful tool that you have to improve your mental health, confidence, relationships, and overall wellness. Self-care can also improve your productivity and focus. The best way to practice self-care is by being aware of what makes you feel well, and by reminding yourself of those things every day. In this course, you are going to learn how to create your own self-care list, how to include your loved ones in your self-care journey, and how to find the time to actually practice self-care. You will also learn about the importance of creating your self-care list by location and by activity type. Your self-care list can be as simple as bullet points and as elaborated as a beautiful painting. And everything in between. There is no right or wrong way to do this. It's your choice and you will learn different approaches so that you can choose the one that fits you best. I have included practical exercises that we will do together to help you reconnect with your body with your mind, and help you with intention and self-love. I have also included a lesson about how to use bullet journaling to maintain, and amplify your self-care practice. Are you ready to bring more joy and intention back into your life while increasing your energy levels and motivation?

Every session starts like a conversation with a good friend. The pace of the content is juat right to help shift your mindset a little each day, and have easy and clear takeaways to build upon. Even with topics I thought I was good at, I still learned something new each day. Definitely worth a repeat as you continue on your self care journey, to check in with yourself and stay motivated to keep at it. I will definitely come back to this myself. Thank you Emilio! 😊

Emilio makes his course feel interactive knowing full well he is in a different country. That speaks to his ability to teach. I am retired with no schedule and it is most challenging to find some structure to my life. This course sparks ideas. It will be a process for me to work through the wisdom if this course. I do feel less paralyzed though. The decluttering of spaces in my home is something I struggle with and I can't hear enough of how to start. Emilio makes one feel comfortable with one's own imperfections. Thank you.
