Most people like to call it self-care Sunday. I would say everyday should be self-care day. Take at least 10 or 30 minutes out of your day to do a self-care routine. I want people to understand how important it is to take care of yourself when your mental health is declining. I’m still learning how to take a moment to myself when I start to feel mentally exhausted. So, I want to share my go to self-care routines that I use to put myself in a good mood.
Meditation is a good way to relax your mind & to zone out for a minute..releasing any stress and tension that I’m feeling. I always use the Calm app. It comes with great music to use while meditating or help me fall asleep.
Walking, yoga & exercising always gives me energy. Its also good for my mental and physically health.
Going to therapy…I love it! Its a way for me to talk about whats been bothering me,releasing any stress that I’ve been experiencing through out the week. It does help me with my mental and emotional health.
Talking to a friend or hanging out with people is great for social self-care. Being able to get out the house and relax for a little bit. Due to my social anxiety I prefer one on one, two or three of my good friends.
Taking a break from social media… for me its good for my mental health…unplugging from social media for a while is refreshing because I can focus on other important things.
Writing is my way to express myself and good for my mental and emotional health.
Taking time for myself is so important. Having a movie or spa day,shopping,taking a bubble bath,drinking wine while eating chocolate and carbs lol
Listening to my favorite podcast or my favorite playlist throughout the day. Its good for my mental health.
Please don’t forget to always take care of yourself emotionally,mentally and physically.
What are some of your self-care routines?
