Looking after yourself is the best thing you can do, but oftentimes it seems harder than it should be. Sometimes we think we have no time to just relax and do nothing, we have a lot of tasks on our to do lists, we think ‘Oh, I’ll do that later’ and end up not doing it at all.
🛌 1. Prioritise Quality Sleep
Aim for 7–9 hours of restful sleep per night.
Keep a regular sleep schedule — even on weekends.
Limit screen time and caffeine before bed.
A dark, cool, quiet bedroom helps improve sleep quality.
🥦 2. Fuel Your Body with Nourishing Food
Eat plenty of colourful fruits and vegetables.
Stay hydrated with water throughout the day.
Limit processed food, sugar, and alcohol where possible.
Listen to your body’s hunger and fullness signals.
🚶♂️ 3. Move Your Body Daily
Aim for at least 30 minutes of movement a day.
Choose something you enjoy — walking, yoga, dancing, swimming.
Break up long periods of sitting with stretch or walk breaks.
Gentle movement also helps relieve stiffness and tension.
🧘♀️ 4. Manage Stress Mindfully
Try deep breathing, journaling, or meditation.
Spend time in nature or quiet environments.
Make space for hobbies that relax and energise you.
Don’t hesitate to ask for help or talk to someone.
👩⚕️ 5. Listen to Your Body
Pain, tension, or fatigue are signs your body needs attention.
Don’t push through — pause, stretch, rest, or seek care.
Preventative care (like chiropractic or massage) keeps your body functioning at its best.
💬 6. Connect with Others
Make time for real, meaningful conversations.
Social support is vital for mental and emotional well-being.
Surround yourself with people who uplift you.
🧴 7. Create Small Rituals of Care
Light a candle, take a warm bath, or enjoy a mindful cup of tea.
Daily rituals can help ground you and bring moments of calm.
Self-care doesn’t have to be big — consistency is key.
