Self Care Is Important All Year Long

10 practices you can start now for taking care of you

Self care is always of the utmost importance for our mental, emotional and spiritual well being. Even if you grab just a few minutes at the end of a long day, taking time for you is a real game changer.

When you take care of everyone around you but neglect yourself, you are in fact also neglecting everyone who relies on you. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

So, what can you do to relax, unwind and get in the moment? Simple inexpensive activities can work wonders to rejuvenate you.

Ideas For Self Care

Meditation

Meditation is so much more than sitting cross legged on a cushion for hours. I used to think I’d never get the benefits of meditation until I learned there are so many different ways to meditate! This is a practice that is easy to fit in your daily routine. Meditation gives you inner peace and helps manage stress and anxiety.

A 5–10 minute meditation of just being in the moment rejuvenates your soul. I enjoy walking meditations, I’m more mindful of my environment.
