5 Ways To Implement Self Care Into Your Everyday Life

It's so easy to get stuck in the midst of every day life and neglect your self and body when it needs attention most. This can range from not drinking enough water to having a stressful work environment. Below I've listed ways to stop these stressful cycles and start some self care that doesn't take up your whole day and is easy to make a habit of.


1. Drink Plenty of Water

This is so important. If you're not hydrated, your body just isn't happy and not being the best it can be. Not drinking enough water can make it hard to stay awake and get through the day without dozing off or wishing you could sneak away for a mid-day nap.

2. Eat Healthy.


Just like not drinking enough water, your body just can't give or feel 100% if you're feeding it junk.

3. Keep Candles in Your Room.


Whether candles or incense be your choice, keeping these around is enough to make you feel at ease and almost like you're in your own personal spa.

4. Have Treat Your Self Nights.

Pick a night, order in some food, get a Netflix show to binge, and gather up some things to make yourself feel good and you've got it. Whether that be face masks, painting your nails, or taking a bubble bath.. just take some time to enjoy the night.

5. Create a Skin Care Routine.


Our bodies respond to routines- they like them. Keeping up a skincare routine is going to keep your skin in check along with making you feel like you have something to look forward to in the morning or in the evening.

Remember you deserve to take some time to relax and unwind, your body will thank you!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
