Time for yourself is a necessity and never a luxury.
With a number of deadlines to reach and errands to do, it could seem impossible to even have a day for yourself. We have commitments that demand so much from us that we shift to auto pilot and immediately forget to take care of our true asset… ourselves.
Setting aside time for yourself should never be seen as a luxury but more as a necessity; denying yourself of self care does more harm than good. When you stress yourself too much and forget to address it, you are at a higher risk for lowering immune system response, triggering anxiety, and even increasing the risk of mental and physical illness.
It’s time to put your foot down and actually make time for Y-O-U. Not sure how to go about it? Start with asking yourself what you really want to do right at this moment then do that activity.

You might be thinking, “HUH, that’s it?” We see a lot of self care tips that include exercise, eating right, and the like– which is in its essence, truly caring for yourself but another form of self care is doing the things that make you happy, doing the things that spark joy. Self care shouldn’t feel like a chore!
If you’re running low on ideas, here are a few things you could do to destress. Take it easy, we’ve got you!
- Prepare yourself a relaxing bubble bath
- Have a massage
- Read that book that you can’t wait to read
- Take a yoga class to stretch out and meditate the stress away
- Play that video game you’ve been eyeing
- Get a facial
- Spend more time with your pet

- Finally watch that series you’ve been putting off
- Get your hair done
- Treat yourself with your favourite meal
- Get your nails done
- Give yourself extra time while getting ready in the morning
- Challenge yourself with a new activity
