DAILY SELF-CARE ACTIVITIES

Self-care is something you can (and should) practice everyday. It can help your personal growth and emotional wellness. It can be as simple as eating your favourite meal! As much as I want to encourage you to self-care, I know that at times it can feel very overwhelming! I prepared 6 activities you can do daily without overcomplicating things. Hopefully you will resonate with some of them and start practicing what works for you!

1. Take a walk. It’s a magical way of resetting your mind and body and it’s relatively easy to incorporate into your daily life!

2. Morning journal. It’s a great way of starting the day. Write down how you feel, your thoughts, what you dreamt about, what you are grateful for or angry at, no wrong or right… It’s your journal after all! Self-care isn’t just about physical activity, it’s also emotional and mental movement.

3. Take a nap. Do I even have to convince you that this is a good thing? If you’re struggling with “power naps” (I do! I find it hard to allow myself to nap during the day), check out Yoga Nidra. It’s a body scan technique that helps you travel between the state of awake and asleep. It will help you relax your physical and mental body. Whether you are taking a nap or a yoga Nidra session, when you finish you will feel rejuvenated and refreshed.

4. Movement practice. Yoga, Pilates, strength training, HIIT sessions, dance class, going for a walk or run, any movement is a beautiful way of caring for your body and mind. Find something that suits you and makes you feel good!

5. Eating a variety of foods. When I feel stressed I like to get lost in creative cooking. I treat myself to foods I usually don’t buy and come up with different ways of using them in the kitchen. Playing with new flavours and ingredients can be a great de-stressing experience (and your gut health will love you for it!).

6. Pranayama (breathing techniques). These are wonderful tools for daily self-care. There are plenty of different techniques to choose from. From grounding, energizing to calming, you can pick the one you might need the most, depending on how you feel on that day. Once you master breath control you are more likely to control what you give your energy to, which is an amazing self-care skill!
