My Self Care Practices

Give yourself the same care and attention that you give to others and watch yourself bloom

Hey Hey! I would like to remind you that it’s important that we take care of ourselves. Not only physically, but mentally, too. While most of us are still in lockdown, why not take advantage of pampering or looking after ourselves at this time. And I know some of us sometimes gets too busy and finding it difficult to properly look after ourselves. That’s why most of us get so tired, drained and stressed out because we neglect ourselves. I always believe that it is important to love yourself and the rest will follow.

HERE ARE SOME OF MY SELF-CARE HABITS THAT I AM PRACTICING:

1. Simplify your schedule.
2. Be active.
3. Take a long, warm bath.
4. Create a gratitude list.
5. Get a detox from social media.

When you look after yourself, you are not selfish! It’s not always going to be fine, but the more you focus on your patterns of self-care, the more it becomes second nature. Find some basic self-care habits that you can do regularly, then pick a few bigger ones to sprinkle in to keep the momentum going! In the comments, I’d love to hear your suggestions! Who knows, somebody else will be motivated by you!!!

Thanks so much for taking time to read my blog. I hope everyone is keeping well.

Lot of Love,
