25 Ways to Take Care of Yourself

Self Care: Attitudes and actions that contribute to happiness, balance and well-being.

Here are some ideas to get you started on your self-care regimen, a crucial part of living your authentic purpose. Neglecting to follow your self-care routine regularly can lead to burnout and loss of vital life energy. Make time for it, and your life will change.

Choose practices that work for you and your lifestyle, adding any activities I missed. Also, feel free to change it up! I like change, so every week, I have a new regimen.

I’d love to hear about your self-care regimen, especially if it includes activities not on this list. Share it with me at [email protected].
