Self care is something that I believe is so important for everyone, no matter what you've been through. And what is exactly is self care, I hear you say? Well, dear readers, self care is the time you take, away from all your daily struggles, to look after yourself. It provides us with the 'time out' periods we all need, even if we don't want to admit it. I believe that self care time is necessary because it keeps us at our best, so we can keep up with our work, families, and everything else we have going on. Today I am going to share with you my top 20 self care ideas.
1. Get an early nights sleep
2. Have a bubble bath
3. Meditation with the lights dimmed
4. Yoga or stretching
5. Trying out new hairstyles or makeup
6. Paint your nails
7. Watch a comedy tv show, or shows you loved as a kid
8. Sit down with a cup of tea and read a book
9. Take a night off cooking and order takeaways
10. Do some exercise - get out and run, or go for a swim or bike ride
11. Create a personal affirmation
12. Write about how you've been feeling. It doesn't have to be any good, as long as you're writing something.
13. Listen to an audiobook
14. Go for a walk with your camera and take some photos
15. Call up a friend and plan an outing
16. Eat some comfort food
17. Play a game you love. It doesn't matter whether it's a card game, video game, or board game.
18. Explore the quiet place (links are at the very bottom of the page)
19. Go on a picnic, even if it's just in your back garden, or living room
20. Do something creative - art journal, bake, paint, make something.
