27 Ways to Practice Self Care Everyday
As I grow older, I notice more and more the importance of self-care. Self-care gets a bad rep in the media, focusing on extravagantly frivolous activities such as bath bomb infused bubble baths and expensive face masks. Self-care is so much more than that. It’s normally very unsexy activities that help you to remain sane while going through the mundaneness of everyday life.
I found a definition of self-care that I feel really encompasses all of its many facets.
“Self-care is the mindset, activities, practices, and habits we bring to fight against stress, unhappiness, illness, depression, and many more negative emotions. It’s not an excuse for indulgence, it’s about giving yourself relief when you feel overwhelmed.”
Today I’m sharing 27 ways to practice self-care every day!
