Important Self-care Sunday Rituals That Don't Involve Bubble Baths & Facials
Self-care, although quite a trendy topic, is extremely important when you're trying to live a healthy lifestyle. Often times we see selfceare rituals as taking a bubble bath, getting a facial or sipping on a glass of wine. Although those are important, is imperative to look at selfceare less from a commodity lens and from a self-preservation holistic point of view so that you can live life more abundantly. Implementing self-care habits that alter the way of think and heal, helps you become the best version of yourself.
Here are some of the less talked about pillars of self-care that you can indulge in today:
CREATE A DELIBERATE HABIT -
Make a decision to routinize something small in your life. By doing it in the same way each day—it creates a positive and consistent habit.
PLEASURE -
Deliberately engage in pleasure activities with yourself or with your partner.
SETTING BOUNDARIES -
Creating a boundary from a toxic relationship is or creating a cutoff time where you don't communicate with the outside world is extremely important but often overlooked.
REST-
Rest is something we take for granted. Sometimes selfceare is simply about catching up on much needed sleep - maybe even for the whole day.
KINDNESS-
Give random people a compliment. Try to be intentional about putting kind words and gestures out into the world.
DECLUTTER-
Try a mini declutter ritual. Recycle three things from your wardrobe that you don’t love or regularly wear.
COMMUNITY-
Sometimes we're so busy working or engaging with our family that we don't lean on our community. A strong circle of influence outside of your daily life is important for connecting and healing.
EXPLORATION-
Take some time to explore yourself, your body, your neighborhood, nature or the world. Going on a personal adventure aids in adding meaning to your life.
ACCEPTANCE-
Accepting the things that you can not change helps to forgive and move forward without resentment. Once you accept, you begin the process of living happier and healthier.
