Self-Care Sunday

 

“Self-care is creating a life you don’t routinely have to escape from.”

Self-Care: The practice of taking action to preserve or improve one’s own health.

In a day and age where the average individual is putting in more than 40 hours a week at work; while still making time for family, friends, and extracurricular activities; self-care is needed. It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant or if you’re that type of person it can be.  

Self-care can be anything that relaxes you or puts you in a positive mindset. It’s not necessarily all about spending money, but rather a moment just to relax and reflect.

How about waking up in the morning and instead of reaching for your phone and going straight to social media, take 30 minutes to reflect and set goals for the day. Feeling down? Write out affirmations and remember who you are and how far you have come in your life.

Ultimately, you want a life you don’t routinely have to escape from. You want to be able to wake up each day and enjoy the life you have. Set aside 30 minutes each day for self-care, it can make a difference in how you look and feel.

    • Self care is very important it took me a while to realize that and I incorporate now at least on a weekly basis.

      • Yes ma’am I agree that all work & no play makes for a very unbalanced life. People put too much stock into making it then once they have made it, they’re emotionally drained. I make time for me daily, there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t grab my me time. In the end you’ll fine that self-care is the best care!

  2. Love all of these ideas! I’ve been trying to spend a little time every day working on myself and spending my Sunday on true self-care. I do some of these but I’ll definitely have to try out a few new ones like meditation or painting!

    • I’m so glad you found new ideas on ways to incorporate self care into your life!

    • The demands are very high and little self care can go a long way. Im glad you enjoyed.

  4. Self-care is VERY important! I had a baby last year and although I’m not going to say I suffered from PPD (postpartum depression), I will say that my overall appearance took a nose dive down. Recently, I got my eyebrows threaded and a pedicure. Since I’ve done it, my confidence has skyrocketed out of the ceiling. This is one of the first times that I’ve felt good about myself.

    • Im so glad you found something to boost your confidence! It can really be the simplest of things that will change how you feel.

  5. I’m a huge fan of women taking quality time out to pamper themselves. We work, attend school, mother children, support husbands, and we need to remain healthy in order to perform all of these super woman duties. There’s only one you so make sure you’re doing right by yourself and honoring your body by getting that much deserved pampering ladies!!!!!
