On this Global Wellness Day, indulge in some self care. Declutter and destress with these simple and easy to follow self-care rituals.

You needs you, especially in isolation. It’s more important than ever before to look within and ask yourself – are you hurting? Do you need healing? Whatever may the answer be, we can all get by with some self-love and extra care. Experiment with these care tips and familiarize with the best self-care ritual suited to your being. Remember, little and often wins the week.

1.) Simplify your schedule.

Start prioritizing what absolutely needs to be done and focus your energy towards doing the best in those. A chock full of schedule with tasks you don’t need to fret about only add to stress and poor performance.

2.) Stretch

Take a pause and stretch. Feel your body. Let the creative juices flow. Not only does stretching improve blood circulation but also soothes your eyes and sedentary muscles.

3.) Practice meditation

Every wellness aficionado’s holy grail, meditation brings undivided focus and discipline to your life. Helps reduce stress, control anxiety, boosts self-awareness, improves the immunity, and helps lengthen attention span. There’s really no downside to incorporating meditation in your life.

4.) Write your to-dos

Psychologically speaking, penning down your to-dos will make your mind more organized and deem the tasks more achievable. A visionary outlet helps you keep motivated as well.

5.) Track your diet.

Keeping track of your eating habits such as what you’re consuming and when you’re consuming is a good start to taking care of your body and skin. By realizing your diet habits, you’ll feel more in control of your body.

6.) Declutter

Whether it’s your workstation being a mess or someone from your friend circle, declutter which does not serve your purpose. We often limit it to our possessions but emotionally decluttering is just as important. Protect your vibe and omit people or relations that are taking a toll on any part of your life.

7.) Create your future self

Pin it down. Even if you don’t think it’s possible, pin it down. Take ten minutes out of your daily routine and picture the best, highest version of yourself that you want to be. By doing so, you’ll stay encouraged and in spirit to achieve all your visions.

8.) Be more honest with yourself

Without judgment, be more honest with yourself. The first step to self-improvement and self-care is acceptance, and acceptance is a path paved through honesty. It’s a tough nut to crack, but once done it makes everything much easier.

9.) Something is better than nothing

Procrastination can deter a huge chunk of your potential. To work out of your zone, remember something is better than nothing. Even if the intention is not to complete the work, do something. You’ll be thankful the next time you’re running late or on a deadline.

10.) Change genres

Be it music, books, movies, or dramas, change the genres you find most interesting. Shift from psychology to action, from fiction to non-fiction, neo-soul to pop, indie to R&B. By bringing this shift, you get to boost your mind, health and as a community get more informed on different spectrums of entertainment.

11.) Decide on the content you want to consume

Social media is important, especially when the whole world’s gone digital. But we need not forget most of the time it’s a one-way communication. Unplug from the unnecessary and decide on the content you’d like to see on your feed. Most of the time it’s out of our control, but keep in control what you can and want to see.

12.) Try bath bombs or essential oils

If you haven’t tried aromatherapy, try stocking bath bombs or essential oils in your life. Aromatics like Lavender, Rose, Mint, Sandalwood, or even Soap is good for your mental health. It releases stress and fatigue, relaxes pain and muscle cramps, and naturally exfoliates your body.

13.) Use hydrating sheet masks

We have a lot to thank the Korean beauty industry for, one of its best elements has been hydrating face masks. They’re not only soothing for the skin but also help calm the mind. Choose from ingredients like pineapple, strawberry, lavender, charcoal, and many more that keep you excited.

14.) Enjoy the light

Enjoy natural sunlight. It can be depressing to be stuck indoors, but a brisk walk in the sunshine can be a real mood enhancer.

15.) Laugh often

Don’t take yourself too seriously. We’re all paving out our paths, and it’s tough but you can make it easier if you simply laugh it out. Laugh out loud with your friends, with your family, when you’re watching a movie – laugh often and unapologetically. It truly is the best remedy.
