Some Self Care Tips

some self care tips

things i do on my lower days to feel less icky, from me to you:

brush or tie your hair; ponytails and buns are quick and easy, headbands are good too

clip your nails; grit gets me down, so clipping my nails makes me feel like i have a fresh start

bathe/shower; if you can’t get up the energy, at least rinse your feet and wash your face

try to use soap either way, good smells lift spirits

moisturize; have some lotion in the bathroom or keep some lip balm in your pocket

don’t wear baggy/loose clothes; t-shirts are fine, but slightly tighter pants/shorts make me feel less lazy and more mobile

put on slippers or socks

sit outside/open up a window for some fresh air or turn on a fan

clean your room; sounds hard, but even a tiny corner of it is good

put on some soft music

or put on the soundtrack to a musical and sing along

eat a light breakfast

heat up the food you’re eating if it’s usually eaten hot

keep a light snack handy; a small pack of gummy bears, some fruits, crackers, whatever makes you feel good, but try to cut down on grease or heavy flavoring

DRINK WATER! stay hydrated! add some honey if you like but please drink lots of water!!

feel free to add more to this list if you have any personal tips and tricks!
