Life can get a little* stressful sometimes. It's important to take care of yourself during and before these times to work through them and prevent them if possible. Some people may believe that self-care is selfish, or even a waste of time, but you can't be productive or help others if you're not at your best. Here are some of my favorite ways to make sure I'm taking care of myself.
1. Face masks!
Face masks are incredibly relaxing, AND they help your skin look amazing! Make sure you go for cruelty-free and/or vegan brands like Lush.
2. Take a nap
Naps are so important. If you find yourself feeling stressed or slipping a little, you're probably a little tired. Sleep it off!
3. Read a book
If you're someone who enjoys reading, you may not have the time with all of the other things on your to do list that take priority. Give yourself the permission to hide away for a while and enter another world.
4. Listen to music
GiphyMusic will either fix everything or make it worse. Choose your vibe wisely on this one.
5. Bath bombs
Bath bombs have the power to turn your ordinary bath to a sparkly, heaven-scented haven. I highly suggest you try it right now. (Use high quality bath bombs!)
6. Dye your hair
GiphySometimes you need a little physical change to feel a mental one. Hair color works like a charm.
7. Journal
Sometimes it really helps to let out everything you're thinking, which can be a little hard if you don't feel like talking. Try journaling it out!
9. Eat a little dessert
You. Deserve. It. Treat yourself!
10. Check things off your to-do list
GiphySometimes doing everything you have to do is the only thing that will relieve you completely.
