A few ways you can sneak in some much-needed self-care during a long day: Power up your morning routine Turn yourself into a morning person with a quick dose of calm and relaxation. Set your alarm 15 to 20 minutes earlier to decompress before starting the day - listen to your favorite music, stretch, give yourself a face massage with your favorite serum - whatever helps to kick off your a.m. routine with peace and positivity. To give your morning an aromatic boost, energize your bathroom routine with fresh natural scents - such as rosemary, eucalyptus, peppermint and anything in citrus - that can be dropped into a small portable diffuser to invigorate the senses and relax the body. Elevate your day with these self-care practices Stay cool and fresh post-workout With many of us spending more time at home, being able to squeeze in a quick workout can help reduce stress and anxiety - as well as get our bodies ready for a more restful night’s sleep. When you’re working out or even working up a sweat while running errands, you’ll want to have a few items handy to keep you feeling cool and fresh, especially if you lack time for a shower. Keep a jade roller in the fridge, and after your sweat session, simply apply to the face to soothe away redness and make your complexion glow. Take screen breaks When busy workdays keep your gaze glued to the screen, it can leave you feeling achy and irritated. Be sure to sneak in some much-needed self-care during a long day. A quick session of “daylight therapy” is good for a serotonin boost and a pop of alertness. Seek out a sunny nook to sip your matcha tea or head outside for a brisk walk around the block. Feel your best for date night Date nights may look a little different this year, but getting in some quality time with your partner is a great way to unwind and brighten up your mood - whether you’re ordering takeout or cooking a homemade dinner! Whatever you and your loved one have planned, be ready with essentials that can help you look good and feel good for a date night in. Get your beauty rest An hour or so before bedtime, make sleepy-time self-care a priority. Put away the screens and cultivate a peaceful state of mind. A brief meditation session lowers the heart rate and stress level, so you can turn in with a blissful state of calm. If you’re a beginner to meditation, start by setting a timer for five minutes and just use the time to do nothing but focus the mind on your breath. Breathe in, hold for a beat, then release.
