Of course, I know that finding time for self-care can be tough.
That's why I've come up with some quick and easy ideas that you can fit into your schedule….
Let's dive in!!
Drink a glass of water at every meal:
Staying hydrated is key to feeling your best. So, make sure you drink a glass of water with every meal.
Practice positive self-talk:
Customize your phone background or set reminders with positive affirmations. You can find some in the Self-Care Bundle!
Connect with loved ones:
Keep your phone contacts but also include an emoji that reminds you of your connection. It will be meaningful and special just for you.
Make self-care into a game:
We have self-care bingo in the Self Care Bundle to make things more fun!!
Set a bedtime alarm:
Getting enough sleep is crucial for your well-being. Set a bedtime alarm to make sure you get enough rest.
Take bio breaks:
Even if you're busy, it's important to take breaks to recharge. Make sure to take care of your basic needs like eating and using the restroom.
Guided meditations:
You can listen to guided meditations during your bus ride or when you're walking. We have several in the Self Care Bundle specifically designed for teens!
Practice mindfulness:
Take a moment to notice and name your emotions. This practice can help you regulate your emotions and feel more centered.
Reframe rest:
Rest is not lazy, or a reward. It's not a privilege. We are not built to go go go. I highly recommend the book “Rest is Resistance” and The Nap Ministry for more resources and reminders on this topic.
Keep track of your accomplishments:
Write down all the awesome things you do. You're worth it!
If you're struggling to make self-care a habit,
I've already created the Self-Care Bundle for you :)
Make sure you sign up and tell a friend or talk to your coach about getting the team to sign up, too.
Remember, self-care doesn't have to be a solo sport!
