YOGYAKARTA There are many ways to get yourself back into a calm situation. Including by pampering yourself, relaxing, taking a warm bath, to spa. But it turns out, self-care is not limited to pampering yourself, according to the author of Body Intelligence, Joseph Cardillo.

"Self care is not just about taking care of yourself but about improving yourself, which really makes us feel comfortable with ourselves," Cardillo said as quoted by Women's Health, Thursday, February 8.

Cardillo added again, overcoming serious physical challenges, especially involving consistent training, is also among the best steps you can take to increase your self-esteem. One time, you may have unrealistic ambitions. For example, running a 18-kilometer marathon without regular training. At first glance, this ambition is indeed seeking to improve yourself, as well as self-esteem. However, this unrealistic achievement actually hurts you. So, Cardillo's message makes sense, because consistent training includes self-care methods, making you comfortable running as far as your capacity is.

In addition, clinical psychologist in Buffalo, New York, Elvira G. Aletta, Ph.D. says, when you tolerate situations that make you afraid so that turning your self-confidence perspective into more capable, then you have given the best self-care for yourself.

You develop a type of deep trust, a type of belief that arises from overcoming fear, listening to your body, encouraging yourself. If it is combined, it will go on to a wider cycle of self-growth, "explained Aletta.

Cardillo adds, challenges are not always physical. Everything useful enhances your abilities, is considered a meaningful self-care. In addition, if you are going through a tiring life experience, achieving goals with sweat will make you happy and grow your skills.

The relationship between thoughts is a two-way way. Just like the head determines the athletic limit, or sees how far you can go physically, to realize your extraordinary inner strength, "said Cardillo closing the explanation regarding self-care.
