6 Ways I’m Prioritising Self Care

Ahh self care, the one thing we all know we are supposed  to do more of, but also the one things we forget to do. I’m very much guilty of that, I talk about self care so much but the actual execution of self care – that is what I struggle with. A massive part of self care for me is honestly just making time for me, taking a deep breath, just having a moment and being able to just chill. Life goes so quickly so before you know it we hit April and wonder where the year has gone.

Now we all know that guilt that most people (including myself) will feel when you take time out, knowing we have a list that is practically 5 miles long, so much to get done and to attempt to have some food and get 9 hours of sleep a night. I mean let’s be honest trying to balance a life is difficult. Remind me why I wanted to grow up so quickly?

Anyway I’ve kind of gone on off another tangent haha, so what are the ways I’m prioritising self care?

1. Sleep 

I have to be honest I’m guilty of watching TV more than I’m falling asleep, I can’t help it. I have a really good routine for before bed anyway, especially when it comes to my skincare and making sure I moisturise my skin and just fluff my pillows and my head hits the pillow.

I’m definitely going to start turning my phone off before bed though, because let’s be honest, who isn’t guilty of checking their phone before bed?

2. Healthy eating

I love eating healthy, I have been having salads with everything lately, and I do love healthy food, I feel better, I feel more awake and I feel like I’m just happier because I know I’m looking after my body and feeding it exactly what it needs!

3. Treat yo self

Now like I said I love eating healthy, but I’ll tell you now, I will always go for that bit of chocolate, a cupcake. Never deny yourself anything. I love my food, I especially love my sweet treats, so if I’ve made brownies, you’ll be damn sure I’ll heat it up and put ice cream over it.

4. Pamper yourself 

I love a good pamper session, mainly because I love the way I feel afterwards, putting on a face mask, put a bath bomb in, put some candles on and just zen out. We all need a good pamper session sometimes, it is good for the soul! It’s like a trip to a spa that you can do from the comfort of your own home and just chill, without spending a small fortune!

5. Workouts

I have fallen in love with working out, it has been such an amazing journey I’ve been on. I find it so therapeutic, I feel like any feelings that I have I can just get them all out in a workout. It makes me feel so good after and not only that it has made me understand my body a lot more! I like to do some yoga which honestly pushes my body to do incredible things and opens my mind to so many thing!

6. Making time to read

I love reading, it allows you to immerse yourself in a different situation, get involved with different characters and just get away from daily life. It actually gives me such peace and just soothes me.
