Self-care is very important. Whenever you feel stressed or overwhelmed it’s important to do things for yourself.

Some things I do for my own self care are listening to music, going on walks, or even taking naps to make me feel better. I like listening to slow music to help me relax. I listen to artists like Lana Del Rey, Jhene Aiko, and Kali Uchis. Their songs help me relax and focus on what I’m doing. Going on walks in the afternoon right before the sun is about to go down is literally the best thing. At that point it’s fresh outside and seeing the sunset is so pretty. I feel like it can also be a way to destress yourself from whatever you’re going through.

Sleep is very important when you don’t get enough sleep your day isn’t going to go so well. You’re going to be tired and grumpy. I take naps throughout the day sometimes and that helps me with my self-care. I wake up in a better mood and can go on with my day. Some other things that you can do for your self care can be keeping a journal to write in,  because it helps write about your thoughts and feelings. It’s also something only you will see and it will help you reflect on what is going on in your life.

Another thing you can do for yourself is go out and have a day to yourself. Some things you can do are go shopping, buy yourself your favorite meal, or have a spa day. These things will make you feel good and it is also a way in which you can reward yourself. Whenever you’re feeling down remember to do the things that you like, for yourself. You will eventually start to see a change and feel better.
