Self-care Sunday is a great opportunity to recharge and take care of yourself before the new week begins. Here are five tips for a rejuvenating and fulfilling self-care Sunday by Aspire FNQ

Mindful Morning Rituals🤸‍♀️
Start your day with a series of mindful morning rituals. You could begin with a short meditation session to clear your mind and set positive intentions for the day ahead. Follow this up with some gentle stretching or yoga to awaken your body and release any tension. Taking time for yourself in the morning can help you approach the day with a sense of calm and focus.

Digital Detox 📲
Consider taking a break from screens and social media on self-care Sunday. Allow yourself to disconnect from technology for a few hours or the whole day if possible. Instead, engage in activities that promote relaxation and presence, such as reading a book, going for a nature walk, journaling, or practicing a hobby you enjoy.

Pamper Yourself🥰
Dedicate some time to pamper yourself on Sundays. Treat yourself to a soothing bath with your favorite essential oils or bath salts. Use this time to unwind and let go of any stress or worries. Afterward, moisturize your skin, paint your nails, or indulge in a face mask to nourish and rejuvenate your body.

Healthy Nourishment🍏
Use self-care Sunday to focus on nourishing your body with healthy and nutritious foods. Prepare a delicious and balanced meal that provides you with the necessary nutrients and energy. Eating well can have a positive impact on your mood and overall well-being.

Reflect and Plan👩‍❤️‍👨
Take some time during the day to reflect on the past week and set intentions for the upcoming one. Journal about your feelings, accomplishments, and any challenges you faced. Consider what you've learned and how you can grow moving forward. Setting goals and planning for the week ahead can help you stay organized and focused.

Remember, self-care is about doing what feels right for you, ensuring you end the weekend feeling refreshed and ready for the week ahead.

Do you have the knowledge and skills to help a friend or family member in Need?

At least one in four people will experience a common mental illness at some point in their lifetime with some mental illnesses being equally as debilitating as having a terminal medical condition.

MHFA increases mental health literacy, which in turn decreases stigma, and promotes early intervention leading to quicker recovery, and improved mental health and overall wellbeing.

What is truly special about MHFA is that it is an evidence-based course that is informed by guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with a lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.
