Horace's advice to take care of yourself.

In everyday life, between work, a hectic pace or even your loved ones, there are many sources of stress. And stress can have a negative impact on your mind, body and even your health. Here are some ways to take care of yourself and feel good.

Taking care of your body

There are many things that go into making your body feel good. One of the things that often comes up is diet. As much as you can, eat the healthiest diet possible, rich in vegetables and fruit. A good way to do this is to cook your own meals as much as possible. Regular physical activity is recommended. Whether it's running before or after work, a group sport once a week or yoga classes. It's a good way to relieve stress and pressure. And if you're going to be active, you need to stretch. Daily stretching is another good way to relax. Finally, a regular sleep cycle is essential. Doctors are clear on the subject: an adult needs at least 7 hours of sleep per night.

Well-being on the inside

Taking care of your mind is also important. Meditation is an excellent way to clear your mind and see things more clearly. There are several applications available for this, such as Petit Bambou, Mind or Calm. Regular fresh air is recommended. Finally, to take care of yourself, you also need to know how to listen to yourself and treat yourself. Yes, you can say no to that umpteenth evening with friends where the same discussions will resurface, and prefer to watch your favourite series with a pot of ice cream in your hands.
