This one self-care habit can effectively improve your communication - a podcast by Dahlia E. Akhaine

Self-care habits can literally save your life. 

I know it has saved me from mental breakdown more times than I can remember.

 When you think self-care, do you straightway think of bubble baths, wine and chocolates? Because I do too😎  

But self-care is about the tiny habits we practice every day to help us feel better about ourselves, to take care of our mental and physical health, to love ourselves. While different self-care practices exist, such as mindfulness (@yanawellbeing is my go-to superhero for this) and positive affirmations, one of my personal favorites is JOURNALING.  



My journal is like my very own love letter to myself, not only for the kind words but also to talk myself through everyday tosses and toils. And on days I really don't feel like writing, I draw out a few words like: "Things may be tough right now, but you're exactly where you need to be! On the path to greatness"✊  In today's episode on the Zest Pod, I share with you 3 unique ways that this tiny self-care habit has helped me communicate more with friends, family and even myself.
