According to Marsha Linehan, one of the ways to reduce vulnerability to the emotional mind and thus build a valuable life is to take care of your mind taking care of your body. This theme is very present in my life, I have reflected and studied a lot about health, self-care, longevity, movement and well-being. Therefore, to be consistent with some approaches I have been working on and at the request of a very important person to me, I made some self -care decisions that have helped me deal with my emotional vulnerability. As? Using the acronym knowledge. (Linehan, 2018, p.396)

Taking care of s aúde, means investing time in preventing and treating possible diseases, consulting doctors regularly and performing exams and performing exams routine. Therefore, this discipline and initiative are part of a sense of self -love, very beneficial to our mind.

Balance to a literacy interferes with our mood, whether calming us, giving us energy or some breath. But it is very important that it is with balance, neither too much nor less. Perform regular meals and including the practice of Mindfulness Eating, with full attention to quantity, taste and especially satiety will bring you awareness of the right measure. Another recommendation is to stay far from foods that may exacerbate emotions such as sugars, caffeine, chocolates, sodas. I am not an expert in the field, but I speak here of my personal experience using these substances and the guidelines received by my nutritionist. From the practice of Mindfulness, I can see the foods that make me agitated, with difficulty sleeping or those that calm me.

B Following sleep is also very important, sleeping 7 to 8 hours daily or the amount of sleep you Make you good will provide you with the necessary disposition and balance for everyday challenges. Maintaining a standard and performing sleep hygiene can be very beneficial, including specific protocols for dealing with insomnia and nightmares (practicing relaxation, evoking pleasant images and using coping skills).

Make E Xercios provides a sense of satisfaction, not just for the exercise itself, which is already very beneficial, But for the joy of being able to have desired attitudes, with discipline, focus and persistence.

Evita r substances that alter mood, do not consume illicit drugs, use alcohol moderately or not use, will make much difference in your vital energy and joy of living.

Finally, there are suggestions of skills to be used to regulate your emotional mind, broaden the full awareness of your attitudes, impulses and choices. Remember that body and mind are one and must be treated with generosity and love to a path of longevity in a valuable existence.
