You guys know I love self-care. And it can change on any type of day, sometimes you need something different than yesterday to make you feel good. Its all about tuning into what your body, and mental health requires in that moment.
Here’s some of my favourite self-care rituals that always keep me going..
- Making a cup of tea
- Having a hot bath
- Treating myself to a sweet treat
- Doing yoga
- Having a lie-in
- Getting into bed to relax but not sleep through the day
- Watching a favourite show
- Seeing my family
- Making the effort to wear makeup
- No makeup days
- Wearing clothes that make me feel great
- Not bothering about my appearance
- Getting lost in a book
- Turning my phone off
- Listening to my favourite songs
- Lighting a candle
- Eating lots of fruit and veg
- Connecting with others online
- Painting my nails
- Stretching
- Meditating
- Playing with my dog on the floor
- Going for a walk
- Watching a film I love and have already seen to comfort me
- Buying myself flowers for no reason
- Writing in my journal
- Cooking or baking something for me to eat
- Getting myself a Starbucks
- Being silly, laughing, dancing, feeling carefree

Do you do any of these too, is there something else I need to add to my list?
