Hi lovelies,
Self-care is something that you should always prioritize. If you have been struggling to make time for yourself you must come up with a strategy for doing so.
Finding time to pamper and nurture yourself is great for your mental and physical health. Here are some ways you can finally make time for self-care
Create Time for Yourself
You must block out time each week for yourself. If you have a work schedule then you know all too well how to go about doing this.
While many people have a schedule for their work activities and even for the activities they need to do at home. Many people do not take the time to block out time for themselves. If you are one of these people you need to change this.
The first act of self-care that you should do is to fit yourself into your busy schedule. During this time you should do things you love that bring you joy and peace. This will help to improve your mental health so that you can be in better shape to complete the rest of your schedule.
Take yourself to your favorite restaurant, or do something simple such as having a bath with fragrant candles from White Fox Candles all around you.
Start Journaling In the Morning
One of the easiest and simplest things you can do for your mental health is to start journaling as soon as you wake up. Getting things out of your head and on paper can be one of the most therapeutic things you can do for yourself.
Use your journaling as a place to unravel your deepest emotions. If you are concerned about your privacy while journaling you can buy a journal that has a safety lock on it.
No one will be able to open the journal and access it without having a passcode. This will give you all the privacy you need to express your thoughts and feelings about anything your heart desires. After journaling for a while you will find it very cathartic.
Start a New Hobby on the Weekend
Another great way in which you can express yourself is by starting a new hobby. A hobby can give you something to look forward to on a weekend. This is also a great way to improve your mental health.
If you're not quite sure what hobby you should take on, then you should start by looking at your interests. Make a list of them and then look at the hobbies that will best align with them.
Maybe you will need to take the class to start your hobby but don't let that deter you. Just make sure that it is something that you will enjoy and that it won't overwhelm you. A hobby is supposed to be fun.
Start Your Routine
Making self-care a priority is all about finding a routine that works for you. Once you do, you will be better able to ensure that you always have time for yourself.
Remember that you can't pour from an empty cup. By making yourself a priority, you are doing what's best not just for yourself but for those who depend on you as well.
