31-Day Self-Care Challenge

I am inviting you to take part of this 31-Day Self-Care challenge.

You can start at any time because when it comes to your health, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual – you should make it your top priority no matter what day it is. 

To break down each topic, I have listed some examples:

 

EMOTIONAL SELF CARE

  • Learn to say “no.”
  • Intentionally schedule “me time” on your calendar or planner. 
  • Reward yourself for completing small tasks.
  • Use online tutorials to learn something new.
  • Develop a relaxing evening ritual.
  • Allow yourself to feel and express all of your feelings (in a safe and appropriate environment).
  • Try some mindful exercises to help bring you into the present moment.
  • Try some adult coloring as a form of anxiety and/or stress release.
  • Remind yourself of the good stuff in life by writing a list of things you’re grateful to have.
  • Take a moment to allow your feelings to be present without judging them.
  • Stop being your harshest critic. Allow yourself to make mistakes

 

PHYSICAL SELF CARE

  • Do some stretching exercises.
  • Take a walk.
  • Drink more water.
  • Exhaust yourself physically. Do whatever helps you feel fatigued.
  • Get a massage.
  • Go out and spend 10 minutes under the sun.
  • Go for a bike ride to nowhere in particular.
  • Go hiking, camping, or backpacking and spend some time in nature.
  • Go to bed early.

 

SOCIAL SELF CARE

  • Avoid toxic people.
  • Ask for help. Let people know you need some help.
  • Call a trusted friend or family member and talk things out.
  • Choose who you spend your time with today. Spend time with people who are enthusiastic and positive.
  • Intentionally reconnect with someone you’ve lost touch with or have unresolved conflict with. 
  • Join a support group for people who are going through what you’re going through
  • Schedule a regular date night with your significant other.
  • Take a road trip with your siblings.

 

SPIRITUAL SELF CARE

  • Make time for meditation in your day.
  • Do a 10-minute body scan technique to check in with each part of your body.
  • Do something nice for someone in secret.
  • Donate money to a charity of your choosing. 
  • Help someone in some way
  • Find an opportunity to use your strengths, the things that energize you, more often

 

There’s always time for self-care, and it starts with you.
