Hey folks, I hope you all are doing alright and that life is treating you well.
Today, I wanted to talk about self-care and give you all some ideas on how to practice it.
Merriam-Webster defines self-care as, “care for oneself”
I completely agree, you know since it is a legit website. To me, self-care is supposed to help you relax, but sometimes it could be things that we might not to do. Of course, with such busy schedules and daily activities that we all have to complete it can be hard to relax or even take care of yourself.
Self-care does not have to be extradionory or luxurious. It can be simple and the most basic of things.
Self-care can also be practiced anytime and any-day. It does not have to be practiced every-day either, just whenever you feel like you might need it or when you have the time.
Self-care shouldn’t be something that makes you more stressed.
Now, here are some ideas-
Note: These may not work for everybody and I am in no way trying to recommend this in replacement of a professional or anything professionals may recommend
- Take a relaxing bath and maybe even use a body scrub or your favorite scented soap
- Watch your favorite movie/tv show or read your favorite book
- Write down how you are feeling or things you are grateful for
- Call up a family member or a friend
- Cook yourself your favorite meal or order in
- Play your favorite music
- Go for a run/walk/jog and clear your head
- Clean your room or house-sometimes a clean environment can help us feel better plus you”ll feel more accomplished
- Throw a dance party
- Dress up in your favorite outfit(s) and take pictures of yourself to remind yourself how beautiful you are and how you deserve the world
- Do your skin-care routine
- Take a nap
- Meditate or do some yoga
Here are some relaxing music you can listen to to help you relax, if you wan to :)) (There are also some videos you can watch that have relaxing music and donate to a good cause.)
