25+ Self-care ideas
1. Take a moment to breath. Donāt do anything but lie in bed and look up at the ceiling.
2. Or if the act of not doing anything stresses you out, then clean. Tidy up the room for 10-15 minutes.
3. If youāre feeling lazy, grab your favorite book and browse through your favorite scenes.
4. But if youāre feeling extra lazy, take a 30-60 minute nap. Reset yourself, but be careful because it might mess up your sleep schedule.
5. If youāre feeling dehydrated, chug some water. Even if itās not a lot, itāll really help.
6. Add some lemon/ lime if you donāt like plain water. Thereās also flavored or sparkling water if youāre into that jazz.
7. Treat yourself to some warm coffee/tea late at night. If itās a hot summer day, afternoon ice coffee is the best. Ā
8. Make some hot chocolate on a winterās night and snuggle under a pile of blankets.
9. Change into your favorite pyjamas/comfy clothes. If youāre going out, wear your best outfit and doll up.
10. If you love makeup, play around with it. Find your favorite go-to makeup look. Or if you need a laugh, put on some bright red lipstick and blue eyeshadow.
11. If itās warm out, sit outside and read. Or play a card game with a friend. Or run your fingers through the grass. Anything that makes you feel happy.
12. If you have to go out when itās cold, pack on the layers and go for it. Once youāre done, reward yourself with a warm drink (coffee,tea,hot chocolate etc.) and watch tv or netflix.
13. Be creative. Write, draw, dance, sing, act, read. Anything. Ā Ā
14. Need some inspiration? Cats. Cars. Monsters. Marshmallows. Cats in cars with marshmallow monsters. Go nuts.
15. Try something new. Never wrote in the perspective of a child? Go for it. Never have drawn flowers before? Give it a try. Havenāt sang for a long time? Do it again.
16. Stretch your legs and your arms. If youāreāre up for it, go for a walk. Or run. Pretend a bear is chasing you and run for life. Youāll get such a euphoric rush I swear.
17. Take a shower. Crank up the hot water, or cold if thatās your cup of tea. Reflect on things. Or take a relaxing bath instead
18. Pet a puppy or kitty. If you donāt own one, go to a shelter and just pet them. Or you can even volunteer at some shelters to play with them.
19. Watch your smaller pets run around. Whether itās mice, rats, gerbils, rabbits, ferrets or hamsters, theyāll sure be entertaining to watch if youāre feeling bad.
20. Browse on social media. Peek at instagram/ twitter and see what your friends are up to.
21. Talk on the phone with a old friend. Or your best friend. Maybe even your crush if youāre brave enough.
22. Cook yourself a fancy dinner. Or bake yourself some cookies or cupcakes. If youāre feeling lazy or donāt like to bake, make a mug cake.
23. Talk with family whether you live with them or not. Text your grandmother/ grandfather. Or your cousins.
24. Bullet journal. Create a new spread and write these ideas down for later. Or start one if you havenāt yet.
25. Kiss your girlfriend/ boyfriend/ lover. Tell them how much you love them
