For the typical gym-goers who like to stay in a routine, what do you do when you just don't have the motivation to go? I know one thing, you shouldn't punish yourself. Taking care of your body can come in many forms, not just pumping iron. Here are some that will make you feel better doing one or all of them.
1. Eat balanced.
A balanced lifestyle is key to happiness ladies and gentlemen. Make yourself a nice salad, or pizza, start from scratch, get ingredients, turn up the music, and enjoy yourself.

2. Listen to music and light a candle.
Just laying down, listening to music in bed is peaceful.
3. Face masks.
These are probably one of the most soothing and liberating things you can do for yourself.

4. Stretch/Yoga.
This is so good for your body, and extremely relaxing.

5. Take a hot shower/bath.
Stay in there for a while and shave your legs too.

I recommend the Yogi brand: Green Tea Kombucha….hits the spot.

7. Write.
Write down your thoughts, goals, or schedule for the week. Writing relieves tension built up in your mind.

8. Go on a walk/hike.
Nature is beautiful, don't take it for granted.

10. Color/Draw.
Art is the silent language of the world. Even if you can't draw...doodle. It works.

11. Watch a movie.
This might not seem like self care, but girl when you're stressed, a new TV series or movie is a great distraction.

LOVE this. Some of my favorites are Gabby Scheyen, Jen Bretty, Whitney SImmons, Macy Eleni, Olivia Vargas, and Kenzie Brenna.

I've come to learn that water is your best friend. It does many good things for you, so please hydrate yourself.
