100 Simple Ways to Practice Self Care

September 19, 2022 By Melanie No Comments

100 Ways to Practice Self Care

Autumn is officially here and with it welcomes a season of all things cozy. As we start to transition out of the wild summer months and into a time of year that brings shorter days, cool weather and more time spent at home with loved ones — this is a great opportunity to add a little more self care into our routines. Making the art of “hygge” (cozy wellbeing) and self care a priority right now can be especially helpful, since Fall is a precursor to the hectic holiday season.

Although the online version of self care has become somewhat synonymous with long baths, expensive skin care routines and wellness retreats, it really doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. There are so many beautiful ways to prioritize your wellbeing that won’t break the bank or require you to block off too much time out of your schedule.

At the end of the day, practicing self care should be accessible and something that makes you feel better. Whether it’s emotional, physical or spiritual, the type of care you choose to provide yourself can change based on what you need most or the time you have alloted for yourself at any given point of the day.

Simple Ways To Practice Self Care

In case you’re at a loss of where to get started, I’ve compiled a list of 100 different ways to practice self care below. So grab a cup of coffee, cozy up with a blanket and grab a pen and paper to write out whichever ones speak most to you right now. I hope you find this to be a helpful resource for any time when you need to take a pause and spend a moment to yourself.

  1. Wake up early and watch the sunrise
  2. Read a new book

Watch me transform my outdated 1980โ€™s shower into a dreamy, self care oasis thanks to @stepintosprig by Kohler! #SprigPartner ๐Ÿšฟ๐ŸŒฟ

The shower tiles got a fresh coat of white paint (properly cured to withstand the water/humidity) and I added in lots of new accessories and greenery, but the real stars of the show are most definitely the Sprig non-toxic candle and Shower Infusion System. ๐Ÿ’ฆ

The recyclable pods provide hyaluronic acid for skin hydration and clean scent therapy to match whatever mood youโ€™re in (my favorite is the Sleep which has lavender and vanilla). The system attaches to whatever shower arm/head you have and fills your shower with scents that give you that spa-like feeling right in your own home! ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ

I got my 200 hr yoga teacher certification back in 2018 in traditional Vinyasa yoga, but over the years Iโ€™ve really leaned towards adding weights to my workouts. I loveee #yogasculpt classes and wanted to share some of my fav moves that I do often! 

SAVE this post for the next time you want to add a little โœจspiceโœจ to your routine: 

โ€ข backward lunge to bicep curl + knee to chest
โ€ข down dog alternating toe taps with weight 
โ€ข warrior 3 with row and fly 
โ€ข boat pose with weighted twist 
โ€ข squat to press 

I typically do 30 seconds on with 30 seconds of rest in between the exercises but you can work them into your yoga practice or workout in whatever way works best for you! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Letโ€™s make a festive matcha latte with homemade gingerbread syrup ๐ŸŽ„โค๏ธ 

If youโ€™re looking for a cheerful sip to get into the holiday spirit I 10/10 recommend making your own syrup to mix into coffee or matcha. Itโ€™s super simple and tastes absolutely amaaazing! 

SAVE THIS RECIPE: 

โœจ 1 cup water
โœจ 1/2 cup brown sugar 
โœจ 3 tbsp unsulphured molasses 
โœจ 1 tsp ground ginger 
โœจ 2 tsp cinnamon 
โœจ 1/4 tsp nutmeg 
โœจ 1 tsp vanilla extract 
โœจ pinch of cloves 

Bring all ingredients expect for the vanilla to a boil and then simmer for 5 min. Stir in vanilla extract and let cool before transferring to a container and storing in fridge! 

Iโ€™ll be over here adding this to my morning beverage all season long ๐Ÿ’•. Let me know if youโ€™ll be trying it!

โ€œJust because someone carries it well, doesnโ€™t mean it isnโ€™t heavy. โ€

The challenges we face end up changing us. Sometimes our hearts break and we must pick up the pieces and put them back together. Other times the hardships teach us patience and perseverance. 

Despite it all we keep moving forward. We work, we smile, we make new happy memories. We gain more strength and resilience with the pain we carry. 

Along the way we meet other people who open up about their struggles, and it reminds us that not all battles are fought in the open. That many people carry their pain in silence and that itโ€™s never safe to make assumptions about anyone. 

Everyone is carrying something you know nothing about โ€” so this is a reminder to give people grace and alway, always be kind ๐ŸคŽ

The challenges we face end up changing us. Sometimes our hearts break and we must pick up the pieces and put them back together. Other times the hardships teach us patience and perseverance. 

Despite it all we keep moving forward. We work, we smile, we make new happy memories. We gain more strength and resilience with the pain we carry. 

Along the way we meet other people who open up about their struggles, and it reminds us that not all battles are fought in the open. That many people carry their pain in silence and that itโ€™s never safe to make assumptions about anyone. 

Everyone is carrying something you know nothing about โ€” so this is a reminder to give people grace and alway, always be kind ๐ŸคŽ
