Starting next Monday, take a few hours every day to practice self-care in every shape and form. The concept of self-care became popular this year as a way of dealing with daily stress and a tool for achieving more with less effort. If you like the effects by the end of the week, you can just repeat the steps as many times as you want.
Self-Care Monday
When you come home from work, indulge in your favorite beverage and relax for a little. In the evening, plan the rest of your week. Don’t forget to plan at least one thing that makes you happy for each day. Go to bed earlier.
Since you went to bed earlier last night, get up earlier and use those extra few hours to meal prep for the rest of the week. Prepare enough rice, pasta, vegetables, and sauces to get you through the next several days. Keep them in the fridge or freeze them.
Short Break Wednesday
You’ve prepped your meals and now you have something to take to work. This means that you can use your break to go outside for a short walk. Don’t forget to drink a glass of water every hour or so and stretch a little.
While it’s tempting to stay in bed until noon and spend the rest of the day watching movies, you’ll feel much better if you go for a walk or a run.
Sunday Meditation
To get ready for the next work week, learn how to use meditation as a way of releasing stress and achieving the state of calmness. Everything will be much easier.
