Self care can really make you feel refreshed and change your vibes. I have always practiced self care ideas whenever I feel the need to rejuvenate myself.

In this post I am sharing the top self care ideas which you can easily do and implement in your routine to pamper or take care of your self.

It’s not important that you follow all of these ideas, you can pick those that you feel connected or drawn to. Every one has a different self care routine and we should try to find those ideas that make us feel relaxed and refreshed.

Plan your ideal self care day using these self care ideas that I have shared.

Taking care of yourself does not have to feel huge or high maintenance. You should never feel guilty to practice self care.

It’s one of the most natural and important things that you can do for yourself, so never shy from it. And don’t feel like you are wasting time and should rather do something more “productive”.

Their can be nothing more productive than taking care of yourself, relaxing and setting yourself to perform your best in the coming days or week. And, self care routine is the way to do this.

It can increase your productivity 10 folds.

I have experienced this myself.

You won’t have to put much effort to practice these self care activities. You’ll just require a dairy or journal for some of them. (Even a paper would do the work!)

I like to use a self care planner and journal for this. You can use any journal for this. And here’s the self care planner that I use and absolutely love:
