Most people think of candlelight bubble baths, drinking wine, or eating chocolates as self-care. Sure, it can be. But wouldn’t you like to engage in good-for-you pursuits that rejuvenate you AND help you move your life forward? Today we’re sharing our top 4 self care practices to balance and enhance your life. Read on to find out what they are.
Balance and Enhance Your Life with these Practices
Self care practices are good for you because they help you feel good on the inside. The ones we have for you today can also create change on the outside.
- Create space for yourself daily to reflect and dream – this can look like visualizing the life you want, journaling, or meditating. There’s no right or wrong way. The end goal is to feel inspired when you’re done. We recommend starting with 10 minutes per day, then increase as life allows.
- Take up a new hobby (or spend more time with one you already have). Uncovering new skills or finding ways to re-focus and release stress will do wonders for you. Is there something you loved growing up that you’d like to revisit? Or perhaps something on your bucket list to learn that you haven’t tackled yet. Now is the time. Make a list of 10 things, then pick one and get started today.
- Spend time with friends. Too many people get caught up in the grind, hustle, and responsibility of life. So, make a commitment to yourself and your people to get together to share, talk, and laugh 2-4 times per month. Look at your calendar and see where you might be able to squeeze in a weekly or bimonthly gathering. Then start contacting your favorite people. We promise it will totally rejuvenate you!
- Set a goal to help you level up and work toward it. This could be a fitness goal, a career goal, a money goal, a relationship goal, etc. It doesn’t matter what the category is, but humans thrive best when they have something to work toward. PS – We have the perfect workbook for that!
Bonus Tip: Schedule Your Me Time
The key with creating success from these strategies is following through on them and creating a consistent habit of showing up for yourself even when you don’t want to or you’re short on time. So start setting aside your me time today. We promise this can change your mood, success, and your entire life.
