 If you're trying to live your healthiest life, eating greens, workout , and making sure you take preventions against the illnesses women commonly face are all likely on your radar, remember always that prevention is better than cure. But do you remember to do the small things (that matters to you), too? Those tiny, seemingly unimportant actions, like taking a real self break, grabbing coffee with a friend or planning a do-nothing day, can actually have a huge impact on your mental, and even physical, health. Keeping that in mind, self-care isn't selfish or shallow; it's a really important part of a healthy lifestyle. (This is especially true for women, who often put everyone else's needs before their own needs!) Keeping that in mind, here are 19 inexpensive and easy things you can do to put yourself first. So, let's jump into it.

 

1. Make Your Bath & Shower Your Spa Room

Turn your nightly shower into an impromptu aromatherapy session by using an easy-to-make bath or shower bomb. A 2009 study in the "International Journal of Neuroscience" found "credible evidence that odours can affect mood, physiology and behaviour"—so try lavender, jasmine or ylang ylang for relaxation and peppermint, citrus or rosemary for an energy boost. You can first clean your bathroom, then decor it with your fevorite things you love & enjoy.

Some recommendations are:

     1. Best Body Washes: try Dove, Aveeno, NATIVE

   

 2. Best Face Washes: try Krave beauty Macha Hemp Cleanser,   COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser, Youth to the People's face Wash, CeraVe hydrating Facial Cleanser, First Aid Beauty & Tacha 

 

   3. Bath Line: Au Lait Bath Line Epsom Salt, Body Therapy Himalayan Pink Salt, 

 

 4. others: Bath Tray, Bath Bombs, Bath Soaks

 

2. Start an indulgent post-shower ritual

 

Use a luxurious lotion with a scent you love, toss your ratty PJs in favour of soft and cozy new threads—and consider splurging on the fancy face cream!

 

3. Stay hydrated

 

Water! Water! Water! Don't forget your H2O! If you need some help in the hydration department, try adding citrus fruits, mint or cucumbers for a flavour boost. Also worth a try: finding a fun eco-friendly water bottle that you love. And there are also apps that will ping you when it's time to refill your glass. Try  or . But don't drink too much water it also can damage your system badly.

4. #Treatyoself

 

💕Yes, i'm quoting a #hashtag. But it actually is important to do something for yourself, for no other reason than you want to, even if it's just once in a while. So consider this permission to have that doughnut or splurge at the mall!

Do nothing & enjoy yourself.

 

5. Be creative

 

There's a reason Self-Care Worksheet have become so trendy—art therapy has proven health benefits. A 2016 study in Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice, the British Psychological Society's academic journal, found it helped people with mental health issues like depression or anxiety relax, express themselves and feel empowered, among other benefits.

  

6. Get organized

 

If you're feeling stressed out but you're not sure why, the culprit might be surprisingly close to home. Actually, it might be your home. Clutter isn't often discussed as a source of stress, but it can make us feel anxious, overwhelmed and embarrassed. Don't feel like you have to whip your entire house into shape at once, though. Start by tackling small corners of your space—say, your cluttered home office or overflowing front closet. You'll find peace in the order and cleanliness, we promise.

 

 7. Write it out

 

Jotting down your thoughts and impressions about stressful, emotional or even traumatic experiences can actually help you overcome those events, that's where our Self-Care Worksheet comes in.

8. Laugh

 

"Laughter is the best medicine" isn't just a pithy saying. It can instantly put you in a better mood. Find a funny movie, TV show or stand-up comedian and have the first, and last laugh.

 

9. Read! Read! Read!

 

Whether it's a novel, non-fiction read or collection of poetry, practice some affordable escapism with a good book. Some are: Atomic Habits, Inner Engineering, Igikai,

 

10. Pet a dog

 

Or a cat! Researchers believe cuddling with a pet has real mental health benefits. Low serotonin levels have been linked to depression, and petting an animal prompts your body to release this hormone. And owning a pet has other health benefits, too, including decreasing your blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, warding off loneliness and encouraging you to exercise and socialize more, says the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

11. Cuddle up with a loved one

 

In fact, hugging another person—or even a pillow!—releases serotonin, too💗💗💗.

 

 

12. Get enough sleep

 

"Sleep enough!" Don't cheat yourself out of one of the most important things you can do for your health! skimping on sleep can lead to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and obesity. So make sure you're getting enough shut-eye—and don't feel bad about taking a quick cat nap if you're not. Stay safe & happy.......
