30+ Self-Care Ideas

 

As routines begin to change with the change of the seasons, our self-care might change, too – and that’s perfectly ok! 

 

We all know that taking care of ourselves is important – but with busy schedules, it isn’t always our top priority, even if it should be! Here are a few self-care ideas that will allow you to keep yourself at the top of your own priority list: 

·      Drinking at least 80 oz of water daily 

·      Moving your body daily 

·      Learning a new skill 

·      Go for a walk 

·      Reading a book 

·      Listening to a podcast 

·      Meditating 

·      Watching a documentary 

·      Saying “no” to activities you don’t want to do 

·      Saying “yes” to activities you want to do 

·      Setting a budget 

·      Volunteering 

·      Taking a hike 

·      Try essential oils 

·      Journal 

·      Tidy up 

·      Try out a new recipe 

·      Listen to music 

·      Practice gratitude 

·      Mindful coloring 

·      Make a smoothie 

·      Lay in the sun 

·      Watch Netflix 

·      Go for a bike ride 

·      Take a bath 

·      Play with a pet 

·      Spend time with loved ones 

·      Take a nap 

·      Get your nails done 

·      Light a candle 

·      Laugh 

·      Moisturize your skin 

·      Sit down and enjoy your morning coffee 

 

I’m sure some of these activities aren’t things you would necessarily think of as traditional self-care, but remember that any activity that helps you to make yourself a priority is indeed an act of self-care. Shoot for one self-care activity per day or at least 5 per week! Remember, self-care is not selfish!
