Real Self Care. No, not face masks and wine.
You already are doing some sort of self care if you are searching for self care tips. You realize the importance of taking care of yourself, filling your cup and feeling good.
Self care isn't just face masks and pedicures.
It's more about caring enough to change your behaviors, habits and routines to become more productive with your health.
Self care can include
- creating and sticking to a nightly routine that gets you to bed at a decent time
- limiting your screen time and choosing to do something productive with your time instead
- drinking more water and electrolytes to stay hydrated
- setting boundaries at work and socially so you stop spending your time working or doing things you don't actually want to do
- checking in with where you're spending your time and energy. Time audit.
- getting outside more and getting more sunlight
- establishing routines for your days, weekends and exercise.
- creating something. Be creative in the ways you love
You see, a face mask and a glass of wine can give a temporary feeling of self care, but true self care keeps on giving you energy. Imagine a month from now after keeping your night routine and getting more sleep.
You're going to feel refreshed, have more energy and get more shit done.
What self care activities are you going to try?
