“Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”

-Oprah

How often do you find yourself entangled with all the mundane work and forget that something called “self-care” even exists?

I know what it feels like. I have been there too. There have been times when I have struggled to get out of the rut and start an amazing self-care routine. But, you know what the good news is? It is never too late to start! The day you decide to commit to things that are good for you is the day you will sense that things are changing for the better.

Most of the points that are listed below might not be as time-consuming as you would have thought. Once you adapt yourself to practicing self-care every day, I tell you, there is no going back. People will run to ask you what you’re doing for that absolute glow up! And you will start to feel so much better and lighter about yourself that even the thought of discontinuing these practices will start to haunt you.

Try The 21-Day Challenge

They say it takes 21 days to create a habit.

So why not pick some of the points from this list, and challenge yourself to keep up with these for 21 days to make it a healthy habit?

Here Are 41 of My Favourite Self-Care Tips! 

1.  As soon as you wake up, make it a point to drink a glass of water. Your body needs it after eight hours of dehydration.

2.  Aromatherapy. Officially a green signal to hoard on lots of essential oils!

Tough, you should avoid inhaling air diffused essential oils for prolonged period as it can lead to irritation.

3.  A skincare routine. Psst, your skin needs nourishment too.

4.  Making yourself a cup of green tea. Nothing can beat sipping on a cup of steaming green tea while reading a good book.

5.  Taking time to journal every day. Journaling is a great way to channel your thoughts and feelings.

6.  Walking barefoot on the grass. Did I tell you that it feels like walking in heaven? Well, not just that, it will also help in improving your eyesight (double win!)

7.  Dancing to your favorite disco song. Even dancing for just five minutes can lift your spirit.

8.  DIY home facials. Who said you needed to put on your jeans and visit the nearby beauty parlor? Especially when you can DIY your facial at home!  

9.  Limiting time on social media. After all, excess of anything is bad.

Try limiting your screen time using the in-built screen timer of your phone or downloading an app.

10.  Getting an 8-hour beauty sleep. Do I even need to tell you why it is so important?

11.  Establishing healthy boundaries. You do not need to assent to everything.

12.  Exercising. Yep. It is a natural antidepressant.

13.  Listening to music – or even learning music. Because music is a synonym of calm.

14.  Practicing more of what you love. Do not disengage from things that make you happy.

15.  Reading books. There is no ideal book that you should be reading. You can pick up any that you think you would like.

16.  Listening to informative podcasts while doing chores. Yes, you can absolutely do that!

17.  Make a to-do list, it will help you to get a clear picture of what should be your priority and what shouldn’t.

18.  Establishing a routine. Discipline and a proper routine is the key to achieving things.

19.  Eating the right food. Ditch that huge burger when you go to that restaurant the next time.

20.  Declutter your house. Clean surroundings can do wonders.

21. Self-massage to de-stress after a long tiring day.

22.  Acupressure. Karela roller, foot roller, sujok rings, pressure balls… get ‘em all!

23.  Sun water therapy. Pour water into a clear glass pitcher or a clear glass bottle. Cover it with something that isn’t plastic or metal (you can even cover it with a cloth) and leave it out in the sun for a few hours where the sun rays fall directly on the glass (preferably from morning till late afternoon) and get it inside your home before the sun sets. Drink this elixir every day for numerous health benefits!

24.  Soothing eye gel packs!

25.  Steaming face twice a week. You will soon become a glowing Goddess! Umm… or a glowing God. 😛

26.  Kansa foot rub. Take a small amount of clarified butter (or coconut oil) and rub it in your feet with the help of a Kansa Vatki. After 10 minutes of massage wash it off. You will immediately feel a difference when you put your feet on the ground. Perform this every day before sleeping for best results.

27.  Home spa. Because you deserve a day off to de-stress yourself.

28.  Get a pet. Pets can be great therapists you know.

29.  Laugh till your stomach hurts.

30.  Meditate. You do not need to get on the mountains to attain spirituality. Just a few minutes of unwavering focus is all you need to practice.

31.  Try new recipes. And don’t mind if it goes wrong! 🙂

32.  Start saving money. Decide on an amount that you want to save every week or month.

33.  Make a financial journal to keep a track of all your monetary transactions.

34.  Gardening. You can try planting flowers or green chilies, lemon, tomatoes, etc.

35.  Paint. It is an excellent way to relieve stress.

36.  Revamp your space. Change up a few things in your room.

37.  Drinking copper, silver or gold charged water for improved immunity.

38.  Use Healing crystals. Clear quartz, Rose quartz, Amethyst, Tiger’s eye, Black obsidian, Lapiz lazuli, etc. are great for beginners!

39.  Add a little milk or rose water to your bath. Did you know Cleopatra used to bathe in 700 donkeys’ milk every day?

40.  Make a vision board. Take a paper and list out what you want in life.

41.  Learn something new. You never know which thing will end up opening more doors for you.

When you consistently practice self-care you will radiate love and positivity all around you. And, it will truly be felt by the people you meet.
