Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful day. It’s important to check in with ourselves and our bodies every now and then. Most of us are just in “go go go” mode that we forget to do that. Or some of us may be feeling down, with a lot on our minds, and don’t have the energy to do these things. I created a “Self-care Daily Checklist” of things you can do when you feel like you may need a little extra recharge. It’s pretty unrealistic to think that people would have time to do this checklist every day, although you may have pressures from social media, friends, or whoever/whatever else, to try to strive to be your best self and be motivated every single day…. But it’s just not really gonna happen.
This checklist is meant to remind yourself that it is important to check in on yourself and your body every once in a while. These things may seem little and even trivial but if you’re doing and asking yourself these things… you’re doing amazing!
I try to remind myself that it’s important to move my body — even if it’s 10 mins of yoga in the morning. It’s important to eat healthy every once in a while — even if it’s some broccoli I had for dinner. Most important of all, do some nice things for yourself! You want to buy that iced coffee before work? If it makes you feel better getting through your day, just do it. We put too much stress on ourselves sometimes; we have to treat ourselves with kindness, as much as we do for others.
Have a great day!
