Self love and Care
•Take a warm shower, moisturize your whole body, put on clean pajamas, get into bed or your comfiest nook, and read a book of affirmations or health or something you purely enjoy. Reading takes you into another world and is amazing for your soul, utilize it.
•Make yourself a hot cup of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or cider, take it outside, drink while appreciating your environment and surroundings. Happiness is derived from gratitude and peace.
•Put on your favorite music, whether you blast it through a speaker or headphones doesn’t matter, and dance around. You’ll get your spirits up and even get a little bit of exercise out of it.
•Speaking of exercise, go treat yourself to some new workout clothes and hit the gym. Nothing gets me more motivated to go the gym like a new sports bra does. Plus, you’ll feel amazing afterwards. No one ever regrets going to the gym.
•If you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed with school work, put it aside for a minute and take a good break. Your mental health IS more important, trust me.
•Call someone you love. Ask them about their day, how they are doing, tell them you love them and miss them and want to get together soon. People are an important part of life and it’s important to actively show your loved ones that you care about them and you are there for them. Be the kind of friend you would want as a friend.
•Eat some fruits and vegetables, that is all.
•Draw, take pictures, write, doodle, film. Creativity and art makes life beautiful and you will feel amazing having created something.
•Clean your closet, clean your desk, clean your entire room basically. Having a clean and organized space is a reflection of your mind. When everything is organized, your headspace is too. I love spending a good day scrubbing everything and throwing away things I no longer need, its refreshing.
•Print out your favorite pictures and put them in a scrapbook, having all your best captured memories in a book feels right.
•Yoga is amazing for lifting spirits and getting you in touch with yourself. It teaches you to love your body and pushes your limits, you’ll be surprised at what you can do.
