This Valentine’s Day Self-Care is the post for today. Most people will teach you how to tell someone else how much you love them. I recommend taking care of yourself this year. You can’t love someone else, if you don’t love yourself first.
9 WAYS TO SELF-CARE
- Listen to your favorite song
- Don’t just turn the music up loud, get up and dance!
- Meditate for 5 minutes
- Go to youtube or spotify and look up 5 minute meditations. If you don’t like the first one, try the next and next until you find one that suits you.
- Watch cat videos
- Cat’s aren’t your thing? Look up pandas, dogs, funny chickens – whatever makes you smile.
- Bake cookies
- Don’t waste too much time here because there are an endless amount of recipes online. Check out the recipes for one cookie in the microwave! Are they great? No, they aren’t. But they are easy and fast.
- Go for a walk
- No need to explain. Walks are always a good option, even when it’s February and cold outside.
- Workout for at least 20 minutes
- You don’t even have to leave your house anymore to do this, although I highly recommend doing it. Workout in a group is a great way to be social without having to talk (for those introverts out there)
- Free write for 10 minutes
- It doesn’t have to be interesting and no one has to ever see it. Write whatever you are thinking and put it away for another day.
- Facetime a friend
- In México they celebrate friendship day on February 14th and I love love love this idea. Reach out to an old bestie.
- Take a nap
- The best thing I learned from the Spanish is the siesta – naps are so wonderful when done right. Set an alarm so you don’t sleep too long!
