Don't Forget Daily Self-Care: Here's 23 Simple Ways to Start Today

When was the last time you made time for yourself?

When was the last time that you put your personal needs and wellness before everything and everyone else? 

For many of us, our families, friends, careers, and household responsibilities tend to take precedence over our own self-care. We give love, compassion, and attention to those who mean the most to us, but often neglect to shower ourselves with that same love, compassion, and attention. 

A shift has occurred from self-care being viewed as an indulgence and a luxury to self-care being an essential part of our everyday lives. This is a trend you should absolutely get on board with! 

A daily self-care routine is not as time-consuming as you might imagine it to be. When we are feeling our best, we are capable of being our best in all other aspects of our lives. Making the time to take care of your mind, body, and soul will not only improve the quality of your life but can also improve your overall health and wellness, as well as your relationships and career. 

There are so many ways to give yourself a little extra TLC and how you care for yourself on a daily basis is different for each and every one of us. What’s great about a self-care practice is that you can mix and match your practices and every day can be different. What’s important is that you remember to set aside a little time just for you. 

Here are some easy self-care practices to get you started: 

Take a bubble bath or long shower 

Turn off your devices for two hours (or a set amount of time)

Get a manicure/pedicure

Journal 

Create a list of what you are grateful for and/or proud of

Take a nap

Practice the art of doing nothing 

Prepare a nourishing and healthy meal 

Treat yourself to a homemade dessert 

Look in the mirror and say, “I love you,” “I’m proud of you,” “You are beautiful,” and any other positive affirmations that you can come up with 

There are endless ways in which you can practice a little self-care on a daily basis. Our advice to you is to do at least one thing just for you every day. Pick one of the above or come up with your own and start a self-care and self-love practice today!
