Hi lovelies,

Some days are more challenging than others, and it can be hard to take good care of yourself when you’re busy and rushing around. Therefore, it may be time to slow down and focus on what you can do to feel your best each day if you want to be happier and more content.

Every day is a chance to start fresh and take another step toward achieving your goals. However, you may be unmotivated or too tired to do so if you aren’t taking good care of yourself. Implement the following self-care tips, and you’ll be on your way to feeling your best each day and enjoying life more.

1. Get Enough Rest & Sleep
One way to feel your best each day and have a better mind and body connection is to get enough rest and sleep. Without it, you risk being moody and crabby and not having a lot of energy. Sleep is essential to you functioning well and feeling great. Commit to going to bed at a decent hour, configure your bedroom for optimal sleep, and get in a bedtime routine that’s relaxing and won’t stimulate your mind. When you wake up well-rested, you’ll be ready to seize the day and can overcome any obstacles or challenges that try to get in your way.

2. Be Deliberate About What You Wear
Feel your best each day by being deliberate in your clothing and style choice. For instance, if you work in an office environment, you may want to wear business attire to help make you look more professional. On the other hand, if you’re out advocating for the African American community, then you might want to invest in and wear a Rosa Parks shirt or statement shirt with a message that conveys what you stand for and your views. You’ll feel more self-confident and energized about how you look when you select clothing that fits well and is appropriate for whatever event or occasion you’re dressing for or attending.  

3. Eat Healthy & Exercise
You can also ensure that you feel your best each day by eating healthy meals and snacks and exercising. Together, these healthy habits will allow you to have more natural energy, and you’ll love what you see when looking in the mirror. Your clothes will fit better, and your skin will be glowing when you eat healthy and workout. Try cooking for yourself at home and packing nutritious snacks to have with you when you’re on the go. Also, join a gym nearby or stream workout videos that you can do in the comfort of your own home.

4. Practice Gratitude & Focus on the Positives
Gratitude and being thankful go a long way in helping you feel better and stay healthy. Review your gratitude list daily to keep these topics top of mind for you. Challenge negative thoughts and focus on what’s going well for you in your life and the positives. Your mental health plays a significant role in your overall health and will help you to get through each day with a smile on your face.
