6 Ways To Practice Self-Care (Yes, It Is Important)

In This Article:

Self- Care, Noun: The care of self without medical or other professional consultation.

Self-care is not just a bubble bath with an overpriced bath bomb from LUSH. Self care is physically, mentally, and emotionally. Self-care is important.

Go To Your Favorite Coffee Shop

Grab your laptop, get your favorite cup of coffee, find a comfy chair and relax. Alone.

Work Out

Taking care of your body is incredibly important. Everyone has lazy days, but make it a point to set aside thirty minutes to an hour a few times a week and sweat out your crazy day in the gym!

Read A Self Help Book 

There are a ton of great self care books that aren't cheesy, you just have to find one that you enjoy. I promise once you find one that you like to read, it can help to make you think about life differently.

Some self care books I highly recommend are Girl, Wash Your Face, YOU Are a Badass, 10% Happier, The Elephant In The Gym, and Loving What Is.

Go (Window) Shopping 

Even if you're #ballingonabudget because same, you can still go and look around at cute clothes that you can buy once you somehow get money.

Journaling 

Journaling isn't something I do all too often, when I do it is the best. Journaling is a great way to get all your thoughts and emotions on paper and somehow makes you feel so much better??? Journaling also shouldn't just be for when you are having a bad day, it should be for mediocre days and good days!!

Proper Skin Care Routine

Cleanser. Toner. Serum. Eye Cream. Moisturizer. Your skin will thank you.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
