PERSONAL
self-care
Tips & Ideas
1.
Spend quality time by yourself and see what you might learn from solitude.
2.
Reflect on your long-term goals. What do you really want to be up to in your life? Consider what steps you can start taking now to move in that direction.
3.
Make more time for your hobbies or discover new ones. Join a recreational sports team, learn to knit, sign up for that online class.
4.
Sometimes we forget about simple pleasures. Watch a movie, take a walk, garden, journal, light a candle.
5.
Do things by yourself that you usually don't, like going out to eat or being a tourist in your own city. If you've never done it before, it might take some courage, but many find it interesting and liberating.
Cultivate your authentic voice
To practice personal self-care, we have to have a strong sense of self and what matters most to us. What makes us feel most alive? What makes us happiest and brings us the most joy? Cultivating our personal identities and honoring our own authentic voices help us get more in touch with ourselves and do things we truly love. Personal self-care is about getting to know ourselves and doing things just for us.
