It probably goes without saying that a lot of us could use a little more self-care on a regular basis! It can be hard to set aside that time with so much going on and extra hard to prioritize yourself.
Below is a list of some great but simple ways you can incorporate that self-care into your daily routine!
- Take a walk (without your phone!)
- Reflect on your day while brushing your teeth
- Stretch for 10 minutes each morning
- Schedule time for creativity
- Go tech-free first thing in the morning
- Eat more slowly and mindfully
- Read 10 pages of a book each day
- Have a weekly date – with yourself
- Get 10 minutes of sunshine in the morning (this can be hard to do in Michigan winters, but grab it when you can!)
- Write down five positive phrases to say to yourself
- Give 20 second hugs (when you can or to those that you can)
- Spend just five minutes each day tidying up your home
- Create a designated at-home work space (if you haven’t already)
- Laugh every single day
- Try to meal plan once a week
- Give something back (serve or donate)
- Focus on adding good habits, not kicking every bad one
- Commit to making your bed
- Take more baths.
