26 Simple Ideas for Your Self Care Routine

Self Care

It is important to create a self care routine that nourishes all aspects of our life – physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental.

Just as we plan out our schedules, meals and action tasks for the week – we should give the same care and consideration to our self care.

A self care routine is essential to our well-being

Within my different platforms for the last 10+ years, I have shared the importance of self-care and taking care of ourselves.

I believe self care should be a priority so that it does not get delegated down. At this point in life, self-care for me is on auto-pilot. It has not always been like that but because I have made it a priority, it has become a habit – like brushing my teeth, getting dressed each day and eating. All of those things are necessary and needed for us to be our best selves. Self-care definitely deserves to be in that category!

Here are 26 ideas to consider adding to your self care routine:

Read for fun for 15 minutes.

Call a friend and catch-up with one another.

Color a picture. My friend Gina shares the benefits of adult coloring books to calm your stress over on her website.

Write out a positive affirmation.

Drink water.

List 10 things you’re good at.

Listen to upbeat music.

Enjoy a cup of tea.

Watch your favorite sitcom.

Having a self care routine reduces stress in your life, helps you set a positive example for those who look up to you, and allows you to reconnect with yourself regularly to recharge.

Write down 5 things your thankful for.

Do a simple craft project.

Go for a 10 minute walk.

Turn off electronics for 30 minutes.

Send a “just-because” card to someone.

Complete a puzzle.

Stretch. My friend Heather Nieves regularly shares meditations and stretches on her social media platforms. I love this one from her on Instagram:

Reframing your thoughts is a big part of your self care routine. Negativity is easy, being intentionally positive takes work but is so worth it.

Give someone a compliment.

Tell yourself 5 things you love about you. Speak them out out. Record yourself. Listen to your voice telling you how great you are.

Have a virtual coffee date with someone. Set up a video chat, grab your favorite beverage and connect and catch-up.

Watch (and do) a yoga or meditation video.

Declutter a space in your home. 

Dress up just for fun. Go all out – fancy shoes, make-up, jewelry.

Do a social media cleanse. Remove people, pages, accounts and platforms from your space that do not uplift, motivate and inspire you.

Say “no” to what doesn’t bring you joy.

Do you struggle with setting boundaries? . I set (and shared) this affirmation earlier this week as a reminder that having clear boundaries is a necessary act of self-care. At today’s @wtweassociation’s brunch this topic came up. Often we attempt to find a gentle way to say “No”. I suggested we begin to be intentional about letting those close to us know we’re setting boundaries. It may not be an easy conversation but it’s necessary for our growth and to encourage others to do the same. . I’d love to know ways you’ve created boundaries personally and/or professionally. . #dailyaffirmation #positiveaffirmations #affirmations #divaaffirmations

Have a picnic – indoors or out.

Create a photo collage from happy moments. Make sure you’re in the photos, as well.
