One goal that I believe we all should set is to prioritize time for yourself, regularly. This not only benefits your well-being but also enhances your overall productivity and happiness. In today’s fast-paced world it’s very easy to sacrifice time for yourself for social engagements or work related commitments.
It’s perfectly ok to sometimes consider trading them for a moment of relaxation and rejuvenation. For me, It’s essential to incorporate self-care into my daily routine and establish a balance between work and some ‘me’ time. Whether that looks like a day at the spa, having no plans, a day of reading or watching tv all day or even the simplest thing like getting myself flowers.
I understand that some of us feel guilty for taking that time, but by dedicating time to self-care activities, you are investing in your long-term health and happiness. You’ll also notice that when your battery is running low, it’s very hard to be creative and effective. So remember, taking care of yourself is not selfish; it’s a necessary act of self-love that allows you to show up as your best self in all aspects of your life.

Here is a list of 8 quick & easy self care ideas:
- Read a book: Escape into a different world and relax with a good book that interest you. Fiction or nonfiction, reading is a great way to unwind
- Take a Bubble Bath: Treat yourself with a bubble bath with candles, and soothing music. It’s the perfect way to de-stress
- Go for a Nature Walk: Spend some time outdoors in nature. Breathe in fresh air and appreciate the beauty around you
- Pick up a Hobby: Whether it’s painting, cooking, signing up for a ceramics class or gardening, spend time doing something you love
- Watch a movie or TV Show: Get cozy on the couch with some popcorn and enjoy some entertainment
- Listen to Music: Create a playlist of your favorite songs or discover new music
- Practice Yoga or Meditation: Both these two practices can help you feel more centered and at peace
- Write in a Journal: Take some time to reflect on your thoughts and feelings by writing. Writing is a cathartic way to express yourself and gain clarity
