Easy Ways to Kickstart Your Self Care Routine

The pandemic era has surely put on a lot of stress on many of us. While some might be on their way to recovery, some may prefer to move according to their own pace and that’s totally fine. Remember that this is not a race and no one knows you better than yourself so go and take all the time that you need -- for sure you’ll be on your way to recovery before you know it. As the world opens back up again and you’re not sure where to start, here are some helpful tips that can help you kickstart your self-care routine. 

Get moving. One of the best ways to start your day is by moving and being active. It’s not just good for your physical health as research shows that exercise helps improve mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, and negative mood. Start by searching for easy workouts that you can do right in the comfort of your home. Even just a 15-minute exercise will surely make a difference. Get those endorphins pumping!

Have a relaxing bath. A warm bubble bath has its healing powers -- soothe sore muscles, improve blood flow, boost your immune system and the list goes on. Take your warm bath to the next level by adding a piece of calming music in the background, sipping your favorite wine, and lighting some scented candles. This is a perfect way to relax your body and mind to brighten your mood instantly.  

Connect with nature. You don’t necessarily have to go hiking to be able to do this. Just by simply going out of your house, you’ll be able to connect with nature. You may sit on the porch or the balcony and just do nothing but breathe the fresh air and meditate. If you’re new to this, there are free applications that are available to guide you on your mindfulness journey. Notice how doing this regularly would make you feel at peace. 

Binge-watch your favorite show. Admit it or not, binge-watching makes us feel guilty sometimes. Try to think of it as a reward rather than a waste of time. This could be a nice way to relax your tired mind but make sure to watch “feel good” shows so there wouldn’t be added stress.

Start your own journal. Reflecting on your day is one way of spending time with yourself and checking how you’re doing. You may start with listing down all the goals that you achieved or anything good that happened on your day -- no matter how small. If the situation did not go your way, try to look on the brighter side of things, don’t be hard on yourself, and always remember that there’s always a next time. At the end of the day, don’t forget to tap yourself in the back for a job well done. You made it through this day and you’ll make it through the next day and the days after that. 

Do skincare. When you’re feeling stressed, take a moment to do your skincare. It’s a no-fail way to make you feel better in this trying time. We know there are lazy days and we feel you!
