Finding time for self-care can be hard to come by, so the idea of doing it daily can seem impossible. But if we start looking at self-care a bit different, it becomes easier to find a few minutes each day to focus on our own needs.
The truth is that self-care doesn’t have to be super time-consuming. Even a spare 15 will do on the busy days.
Here are four simple ways to squeeze in some self-care on the days where you don’t have much free time.
4 Easy Ways to Practice Self-Care Daily
#1 Establish a Simple Morning Routine
A morning routine can be a simple way to squeeze in some much-needed me-time. Try getting up 15-20 minutes earlier to have that morning cup of coffee in peace while listening to an inspiring podcast, or do a quick yoga or meditation to get the day started off right.
#2 Or Evening Routine
Don’t have time for a morning routine each day? Try getting in the habit of winding things down each night with a relaxing practice like reading or meditating before bed.
#3 Grab Your Yoga Mat
Yoga can be a great way to support both mental and physical wellbeing, and the great thing about it is that you don’t have to go to an in-person class if you don’t want to. You can do yoga from the comfort of your own home whenever you have time to fit it into your busy schedule.
#4 Brew a Mug of Tea
Stop and take five to sip on a mug of herbal tea to bring on a sense of calm. We love Holy Basil tea with a serving of our Medicinal Mushrooms Brain Blend for an added boost.
Make Time For Me-Time Each Day
Taking time for yourself each day is such an important part of supporting overall wellness, and it doesn’t take much. On busy days where you may not have much more than 15 minutes to spare, try one of these simple, yet effective forms of self-care. They may be exactly what you need to power through your day.
