4 Self-Care Tips To Incorporate Into Your Every Day Routine

This is something I think we all could use a little help on. Sometimes we get so caught up in everyday life that we forget to take care of ourselves. Not anymore! With these super easy hassle-free self-care tips there is no reason why you can't treat yourself and maintain a busy schedule.

1. Keep a daily journal.

Too much to do, stressed out, or had a bad day? One of the best things you can do is a journal about it. Keeping a daily journal has been known to improve your mood, reduce stress levels, and help you achieve your goals. Over time it also helps you become more organized and deal with different emotions in a positive way.

All it takes is 10-minutes of your time. You can become more motivated and organized with a simple 10-minutes every day.

This task has helped me to manage my emotions from a stress-filled day in a positive way. It is also a good way to reflect on the events of a hectic day.

2. Write a to-do list.

By writing a to-do list you can be even more motivated at from the start of your day. It will help you to be more organized as the day goes on. It can also help to make sure that you are achieving your goals for the day.

It only takes about five minutes and then you are set for the day. Be ready for an extra boost of motivation and positive energy. This has personally helped me maintain a clear goal for where I want my life to go. It has also helped me improve relationships in my everyday life.

3. Treat yourself!

If you had a long day or just finished an exam treat yourself to a little something extra. It doesn't have to be a whole lost, maybe your finally giving in to that craving or letting yourself take nap. It can be anything that makes you happy. If you did something you're proud of than reward yourself for your hard work.

Personally, I love to have an ice cream cone every once in a while. It helps me to maintain a goal oriented attitude while still being reasonable.

You can fit this simple task anywhere in the week, just find the time and enjoy!

4. Go on a walk.

Going on a walk can be really beneficial to your attitude. It can help you clear your mind and reset for the rest of the day. While you're at it, try unplugging from technology. Try and go on a walk for 15-minutes without any distractions.

Taking distraction free walks can put you in a better mood and help you unwind from your busy life. Connecting with nature and taking some time just to breath is a really good way to bring yourself back down to earth. These walks do not need to be very long, 10-minutes at most.

If you can't spare that time than simply try putting your phone or device away on the way to your next appointment or class. Trust me it will be well worth it in the end.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
