17 Self Care Tips for a Healthy Mind & Body
It’s important to do what’s best for you whether approve of it or not.This is your life. You know what’s good for you and remember, self care takes strength.

Do you ever forget to take care of yourself?I know. You’re probably too busy, and finding the time to take proper care of yourself may be difficult. However, if you don’t, it won’t be long till you’re worn out and engulfed by a mental fog where it is hard to care about anyone or anything.
Self-care isn’t something you do once and tick off the list. It’s the constant repetition of many tiny habits, which together can soothe you and make sure you’re at your best state—emotional, physical, and mental.
The best way to do this is to apply tiny self-care habits every day. To regularly include in your life a little bit of love and attention for your own body, mind, and soul.
1. Start a compliments file. Just write down great things people say about you and read it later:)
2. Take a quick nap. Ten to twenty minutes can reduce your sleep deprivation and make your mind feel fresher!
3. Cherish true friends. Surround yourself with people who selflessly love you for you, without any hidden agenda. Those friends are priceless.
4. Make one small change to your diet for the week. Drink an extra glass of water each day, or have an extra portion of vegetables each meal.
5. Stop Overthinking. I know this may be a hard one, because even I overthink from time to time. But, you will end up missing out things that are actually happening in your life, if you’re always stuck in your head of endless thoughts. You won’t have all of life’s answers, and it’s supposed to be that way. Imagine how boring your life would be when everything is already expected lol
6. Change up the way you make decisions.Decide something with your heart if you usually use your head. Or if you tend to go with your heart, decide with your head.
7. Go cloud-watching. Lie on your back, relax, and watch the sky.
8. Pay complete attention to something you usually do automatically. Perhaps brushing your teeth, walking, eating, or doing your morning routine.
9. Oxygenate by taking three deep breaths. Breathe into your abdomen, and let the air puff out your stomach and chest.
10. Fix a small annoyance at home that’s been nagging you. For example, your lost earring, your broken charger, or a drawer that’s stuck. Let me tell you one thing, it makes you feel so much better after it’s finally taken care of.
11. Run (or walk, depending on your current physical health) for a few minutes. Or go up and down the stairs three times.
12. Unplug for an hour. Switch everything to airplane mode and free yourself from the constant notifications of social media. Just read a book!
or...if you couldn’t follow tip number 12...
13. Edit your social media feeds , and take out any negative people. You can just “mute” them; you don’t have to delete them.
14. Be still. Sit in a place you would feel calm, whether it’s your bedroom or the local park, and be quiet for a few minutes.
15. Stop comparing your self to others. You can control one life—yours. But when we constantly compare ourselves to others, we waste precious energy focusing on other peoples' lives rather than our own.
16. Do a mini-declutter. Donate things from your wardrobe that you don’t love or regularly wear.
17. Treat yourself. Whether it’d be taking a nice, warm bath or eating a food craving, you shouldn’t wait for a “special occasion” where you feel like you deserve it. Take a break, you deserve a moment of happiness.
