Self Care: The Little Things

Hello everyone!

I wanted to emphasise the importance of the little things when it comes to self-care. 

 

When feeling down, a good way to uplift your mood is to do some little things which can bring you back to the present moment and perhaps inspire you! Here are 10 little things that I personally do as self-care ðŸ¤—

 

10 little things: 

  • Follow a yoga video on YouTube (Yoga with Adriene is great!)
  • Journal my thoughts and feelings
  • Light a candle!
  • Listen to uplifting music
  • Look in the mirror and say five things I love about myself
  • Make some tea
  • Play with my pet
  • Read ten pages of a book I love!
  • Sit outside and enjoy the sun
  • Watch a funny video

 

Let me know if you try any of these yourself! What are some things you do for self-care? ðŸ˜Š

Hi @LittlePisces 

Thanks for this great post!

 

For self-care, I like doing a lot of the things you listed already like yoga, listening to uplifting music, play with my pet, and sit in the sun. I also like to go for walks and talk to friends and family

Definitely the reading for me!! Although most of the time it accidentally turns into a lot more than ten pages... (oops)

One thing I really like to do is to draw a quick little doodle on whatever scrap of paper I've got on hand! I have a character I've made who is very dear to me because I've kinda inserted pieces of myself into him, so drawing him oddly feels like a self-hug hahah

I also love candles, tea, journalling, books, and funny videos 🥰
