Top 3 Tips for Practicing Self-Care At Home

With everything going in the world right now, we know what’s really needed is some self-love. As Carrie Bradshaw once said, “the most significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself,” and we hope these tips help you fall in love with “the you, you love” just a little bit more.

Tip #1: Detox Your Social Media Accounts
Have you ever stopped to notice how you feel after scrolling aimlessly on social media? For some, seeing the world’s highlight reel is a motivator, for others it’s emotionally draining and can feel like a “turbo-charged” instrument of comparison. This month, do yourself a favor and unfollow any accounts that make you feel less than. Curated and filtered feeds are beautiful, but if it comes with the price of feeling negatively about your own life, click unfollow.

Tip #2: Do one of these each day
Light a candle
Drink some tea
Have a Facetime lunch with a friend
Put on your coziest socks
Watch your favorite old movie
Cook your favorite healthy meal
S t r e t c h for 15 minutes
Write down 3 things you’re grateful for
Put your phone on airplane mode
Buy yourself flowers

Tip #3: Move Your Body
Feeling better about yourself (and your body) can be as simple as getting in a 30-minute sweat sesh a day. In fact, studies show being consistently active for 6 months or more is highly effective in boosting self-confidence and what’s more—the boost in confidence doesn’t come from physical change, but rather the emotional shift that happens when you allow yourself to de-stress and focus on your wellbeing. Go for a walk, a bike ride or dance in your living room, it’s all good, girl!
