Life can be busy sometimes and it can be
hard to dedicate some time just for yourself and to do things that make you
happy. With endless to-do lists, it is important to set some time for yourself
throughout the week as it can help you recharge for the next week ahead. Even
if it is only an hour you can set aside for yourself.
In this article, we discuss some self-care ideas that you can set aside to do this week!
Pamper Yourself
Putting some time aside to pamper yourself is important not only
for your physical health but for your mental health. These are some suggestions
on what you can include in your pampering routine;
●
Booking a manicure or pedicure is an excellent
way to unwind. Whether you book in to have your nails done professionally or
just want to chill and do it at home, either is a great way to relax!
●
Become a master at your
tanning
routine.
●
Apply a face mask to
unwind!
●
Invest in a face roller
or gua sha. Popping these in the freezer can also help with anxiety due to the
cold sensation. Plus it can brighten and depuff your skin!
Do arts and crafts
Going to your nearest arts and crafts
store and creating an art project for yourself allows you to practice your
creativity, plus unwind! With a simple Google search, you can find lots of
ideas to get you going on your self-care creative adventure.
Why not try getting your painting tools
out and paint a mason jar with your own design. Then you can put fairy lights
into the jar or you can put flowers into your jar and just like that you have
created your own customized vase all the while practising self-care.
Schedule in time for Yoga
Yoga is an excellent way to schedule
time for yourself. It not only helps you improve your overall strength and
flexibility it also helps with improving your mental health. Scheduling in just
20 mins can improve your mood and outlook for the week ahead.
Go for a walk by yourself or
with friends
Going for a walk allows you to unwind
and connect with nature. Plus inviting friends or family can be a really good
way to connect with one another and catch up.
Get baking!
Baking is a de-stressor plus you get to eat! This is your time to indulge and make your favourite chocolate cake or your favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe!
Buy yourself flowers
Buying yourself flowers is a great form
of self-care! Don’t wait for someone to buy you flowers, buy them yourself!
It's a great way to treat yourself and practice self-care.
Read a book!
Reading is a great way to unwind and
escape into a fictional reality. Schedule in time to pick up your favourite
book, maybe it’s Harry Potter? And get reading!
Make yourself a fun drink
Do a quick Google search to make yourself a fun drink whether that be your favourite milkshake or a jam-packed tropical cocktail! It's all up to you, it is your self-care day after all.
