Self Love. Self Care. I don’t know about you but I’m all about it. I’m all about feeling good about myself especially during the hard times. I wanted to give you some of the things I do that help me. Endless quotes on Pinterest and Instagram, email #SelfCare blasts and top influencer self go to’s are all great but I wanted to put a list together that can possibly help you if you are stuck or just have to give yourself a lil more lovin. 😉
And yes getting together with your girlfriends, family and or loved ones are good ways to give you a lil boost but it’s important to know how to give yourself self care on your own. Things you can do when you are all by yourself. Just you. Its scientifically proven that women tend to seek outside comfort when they are going thru hard times such has hanging with girlfriends and or family. I believe knowing how to self care by your lonesome is actually one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself. Once you master that, you can love in all situations and people that come your way.
– Take an essential oil bath (essential oils improve mood and set a positive atmosphere)
– Journal or start a journal if you haven’t already (Journaling is a good way to set your goals, daily intentions, and live more in gratitude)
– Do your favorite yoga/zen/meditation class (Anything that calms your body and mind will instantly make you feel better)
– Look up quotes! I do this every morning + night and honestly it has helped me tremendously. Find your favorite writers and authors. Maybe it will work for you too. <3
– Make your bed and clean your space and THEN light your favorite candle.
– Listen to your favorite tunes, whether it’s calming or makes you wanna dance (Dancing never put anyone in a bad mood)
– Smile to at least one person everyday (You’ll be amazed how awesome that makes you feel)
– Give yourself a hair, face, and hand mask.
– Talk to God or the Universe. Talk out loud to whoever you want to speak to or believe in.
– Put your phone on silent and go into nature. (Hike, walk, whatever it is get outside. Breath the fresh air.)
– Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate. As much as I’m thinking of some pink bubbly right now I’m talking about water with lemon. 🙂 (Detoxifies and cleanses)
– Just chill. Put on your favorite comfies and watch your favorite show or movie. (It’s ok to be lazy once in a while)
At the end of the day. Do you. Do what makes YOU happy. What’s going to put a smile on YOUR face. This world is a crazy, silly, hard yet beautiful place. Let’s learn how to care for ourselves so we can care for the rest.
