What is care? Who do we care for? Why do we care for that thing? Why is it important to care? As we move through life and become older we seem more careless at times. Especially in our teen years and 20s.
However, being caring is a very important aspect in our life. When there is more care, there is also more joy. We become better as well when caring for others.
In this article I will talk about different ways of caring and how it affects the quality of our lives as we keep moving through newer challenges.
Self Care
There is a need for self care in our lives. The reason for it is that the more we care about our own self, the more we starting caring for those around us. Not only others but we start caring more about what we do with our lives.
Having self care can come in different forms, whether it is going out for a walk on a beautiful sunny day. Perhaps one enjoys cooking and rather do that. Forming these habits of just taking the time once in a while to absolutely do what you most and enjoy and care about will bring a higher quality of life.
I for once have seen that within myself, I really enjoy walking and exploring the outdoors. So whenever I get the chance to I make sure I do a self care day go for walks, whether it is a 10 minute walk or an hour walk. The point is doing it and feeling very good afterwards. With doing things and taking care of yourself, we can start to see the importance of it.
A lot of people tend to hate their lives, or feel as if there was no meaning. But what if I told you, focusing on yourself and spending time with yourself is what will give you back that freedom. Just like when we were kids, exploring the unknown and just enjoying the day by day. Caring for yourself will eventually lead us to caring for others.
Caring For Others
Once we have developed the need to care for yourself, we will understand the importance of caring for others. Not only that but we will know how to take care of others. When we care for ourselves, we understand what it is like for others to feel care. We will know what steps to take, and how to approach those steps in a proper, respectful way.
It is very important to care for others around you, we live in a world full of negativity and careless people. If we start focusing on the good and start showing compassion and care for others, we become a bigger force than imagined.
Caring For The World
I know this might not seem broad or important with everything going on at the moment. But we must care for the world, we were brought and gifted the power to look after the world. Us as human have been the top species for many years now, from the Stone Age to the civilization era we have built. We must understand that there is a reason as to why we were brought up to be the most conscious species on planet earth.
In order to keep our world a better place, we must do our job and care for it. At the end of the day the world we are living on will always be around, on the other hand we don’t know when our last day will be. We have seen it repeat itself, with the ice ages, and volcanic eruptions, and meteor strikes. Time again we have came across catastrophic events.
So why not make the world a beautiful place, and build a heaven that we never thought possible. It start within yourself, although we have no control of what others do, we do have control of what we do. The more we care for the world, the more we get closer to actually building something that we were brought here for.
Caring As A Whole
At the end of the day, we just need to care for everything in our lives. It starts with caring for ourselves, then caring for those around us, and toping it off with caring for the world in general. Growing up, we see so much destruction, pain, guilt, shame, negativity all around. But we must understand that the world doesn’t have to be that way, we choose what we make of ourselves, of the world. Because no matter where we are in our lives, it can always be worse. There is so much to be grateful for and we must realize it, and when we do, maybe just maybe we can build our heaven together.
