Tips for practicing self-care

Tips for practicing self-care

Because of covid sometimes life feels like a never-ending rendition of the movie Groundhogs Day. Each day I wake up, drink coffee, work, write, run errands, make dinner, clean up dinner, watch a show with the family & then go to bed after reading a few chapters of a book. Day after day it’s the same routine. Which can lead to covid burnout.

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about self-care & how to switch it up to feel like my batteries are being recharged. I also asked my friends on Instagram to help me out with this & here are the top tips that we came up with:

  • Daily walks outside

  • Exercise

  • A soak in the tub or hot tub under the stars. I personally amp up my tub experience but putting on spa music, lighting candles, adding bubbles & turning out the lights.

  • Reading books

  • Eating healthy

  • Listening to music

  • Unplugging for all digital devices

  • Watching a feel good film

  • Meditation

  • Napping

  • Say No!

  • Taking vitamins that will boost your mood overall (like B & D)

  • Practicing Art: Writing, Painting, Crafting, Sewing

  • Journaling
