Prioritizing Self-Care
Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, carving out time for yourself becomes crucial for nurturing a balanced and joyful life. International Self-Care Day is July 24th and prompts us to delve into the importance of self-care to unlock the secrets of incorporating it into our own routines.
This day is a perfect opportunity to kick-start habits of prioritizing yourself, recharging your energy, and fostering a sense of balance. By honoring our needs we’ll all benefit from results like improved mental clarity, reduced stress levels, and a heightened sense of overall well-being. Self-care can nurture your spirit, mind, body, or ideally, all at once, which is why we’ll explore its importance & a wide range of practices to support you.
How You Can Experience Self-Care from Home:
Self care can mean different things to different people, but it always means serving yourself. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite self-care actions in the list below to inspire you to make one, or many, a habit.
1. Make a home-cooked meal: Cook your all-time favorite meal or find a recipe video to cook along with and enjoy a new treat.
2. Perform mirror work: Gaze at yourself in the mirror while saying positive affirmations. This will subconsciously boost confidence and self-love the more it’s done.
3. Declutter your space: Put on your favorite show or music playlist in the background and clean your room to have a fresh environment.
4. Practice yoga: Get a yoga mat or comfortable surface and watch a guided yoga video to increase flexibility, become more mindful, and create peace.
5. Experiment with new foods: Go to 3 restaurants with different cuisines for your appetizer, entrée, and dessert. Start with one of the restaurants off the 2023 Best of the East Bay list, which you can find here.
6. Create a vision board: Gather quotes and pictures that represent your goals and dreams and make a collage from them. This helps you to increase motivation and helps you better visualize the lifestyle that you desire.
7. Have a movie marathon: Get your favorite snacks, put on pajamas, and watch a list of your favorite movies.
8. Bring the spa to your home: Start by giving yourself a facial using your favorite cleanser, scrub, face mask, and moisturizer. While the face mask sits, find relaxation in drawing a bath, putting on soft music, and lighting a candle. This will help you to unwind and de-stress.
9. Take a break from your phone and step into the natural world: Go on a hike and enjoy the warm sun, the birds chirping, and the beautiful scenery.
10. Try a new hobby: Get to know yourself more by exploring a new hobby. Experience creativity, relaxation, and joy while engaging in a new activity.
