Self Care...a habit that is well worth getting into

​I probably ask about your self care time at pretty much every appointment. While your sessions with me count as self care it really is a practice that needs to be followed daily.

Making it a habit isn’t really that difficult….here are some easy tips to bring self care into your daily regime AND they take 15 minutes or less

---

1. Snuggle with your pet, child, a warm blanket
2. Go for a walk outside
3. Close your eyes, for just a few minutes, and take some slow deep breaths
4. Turn on some favourite music and…dance to it, sit down and just listen, fill a bathtub with water and bubbles and slip in, cook a favourite meal, bake, sing along, etc.
5. Meet with a positive and supportive friend for coffee
6. Eat your breakfast in bed
7. Sleep in
8. Stretch or do some yoga
9. Light a candle, incense or place your favourite essential oil in a burner, pull out a good book and enjoy
10. Take a nap
11. Give yourself a hug
12. Book a holistic health session for yourself – massage, reiki, reflexology…
13. Make your favourite snack and watch a movie
14. Give yourself a home spa session
15. Book some time to spend on your favourite hobby
16. Colour, journal, draw or paint
17. Eat a meal, mindfully
18. Hug a tree or ground/earth yourself
