There is No "Right" Way to Do Self-care

Treating yourself to a tasty meal can be self-care!

Blocking off time in your day to take care of yourself? Yes, please! But, to be honest, sometimes bubble baths and face masks don't cut it for me. Too often I blow off me-time all together because I feel like it can only look one way... but self-care is whatever helps you hit the reset button.

Here are some "different" #selfcare ideas I turn to when I need a pause from my hectic life:

1. Treat myself to a delicious meal

2. Cry in the shower

3. Scroll through my camera roll

4. Watch my favorite TV show or movie

5. Lay on the floor

6. Buy myself a small gift

7. Grocery Shop

8. Wash my sheets

9. Drink a warm drink

10. Listen to Christmas music

11. Check a small item off my to-do list

12. Clean my makeup brushes

13. Watch standup comedy

14. Text a family member or friend and to just say hi or thank them

15. Indulge in a tasty dessert or drink

While some of these activities might not be #selfcare insta-worthy, they really do help me pause and focus on me. How do you practice self-care? Share below!
