Self-Care Sunday…We’ve all heard this term lately..but what does it really mean?

Indulging in self care on a specific day can help us stay accountable for taking care of our needs on a weekly basis. This is not limited to Sunday’s..in fact, if you can utilize some self care on any day it is a win!

Your self-care day should be packed with actions of loving-kindness towards all aspects of your personal life. Towards your body, towards your mental body, towards your spiritual self, and towards your emotions.

Here are a few simple ways you can have a self-care day:

• Turn off your alarm and slowly wake up with your body’s alarm clock.

• Mindfully drink a cup of tea or coffee.

• Do a couple of morning stretches.

• Prepare a healthy, soul-charging and energizing breakfast

• Pamper Yourself. Have an at-home spa day.

• Take a relaxing bubble bath, apply your favorite face mask, or give yourself a fresh manicure.

• Have a long, loving, steaming shower, and take the time to exfoliate your whole body.

• Put on comfy clothes.

• Meditate.

• Turn off your phone and all other electronics for an X amount of time.

• Get some flowers or a new plant

• Take a long walk outside

• Practice Gratitude with a gratitude journal.

• Set your intentions for the week ahead.
