Are you still figuring out your new year’s resolutions? Welcome the new year with a happier and healthier you. You don’t need a lot of time or extra money to practice self-care. Make yourself your number one priority by following these simple and practical tips and become the best version of yourself in 2019.
1 Meditate in the morning
Before getting out of bed, checking your messages, and getting stressed out with all the to-dos on your list for the day, spend a few minutes of your morning meditating. You can do deep breathing exercises or even chant a positive mantra like “You can do this” to get you started. There are apps you can download to guide you in your meditation, but ultimately, the goal is to quiet your mind and reach a state of zen before diving into your busy day. You’ll find that with continued practice, you’ll be more patient, calmer, and more relaxed.
2 Exercise regularly
A twice- or thrice-a-week run around your neighborhood or a visit to your yoga studio can do wonders not just for your body, but also for your mind. Regular exercise can improve brain health as you age. You don’t need to do rigorous workouts to achieve this. Just maintain a routine that works for you and do it regularly.
3 Commit to a daily skincare regimen
Whether it’s taking an extra 15 minutes in the morning to dry brush before bathing or doing a 10-step beauty skincare routine in the evening before going to bed, developing a regimen can do wonders for you. Give yourself time to zone out by way of a mini-facial massage in the comfort of your own bathroom.
4 Schedule a weekly spa day
Make it a habit to reward yourself after a long work week with an afternoon at the spa or a mani-pedi date. A deep-tissue massage or a relaxing foot spa can certainly lift your spirits at the end of a tiring day. Think of it as a reboot, so you can be renewed and refreshed for the office.
5 Reward yourself
Book yourself a staycation and take a dip in the pool with a panoramic view of the city. Map out your grand plans for the new year over a cup of coffee in the chic and cozy lounge. Treat yourself to a fancy dinner date when you can. Pour yourself that second glass of wine as you prop up your feet for a night of watching your favorite TV series. Don’t feel guilty about finishing the last piece of chocolate in the fridge. You deserve it after all.
It’s easy to forget to take care of yourself when you get busy with the demands of your job and personal responsibilities. But if you form these mindful habits, you’ll find that self-care is just as important as getting a regular check-up at your doctor or dentist.
