If you are anything like me, practicing self-care and self-love can often get placed on the back burner. Also, I am not a proclaimed morning person, so other than those things I NEED to do, I’ve learned they likely won’t get done until I’m awake, have eaten breakfast, taken my dog out and after that I normally start working. I have learned that I practice my self-care at night. Here are some of my favorite night-time self-care ideas!
Bedtime self-care routine ideas:
- Here are some self-care ideas for a great nighttime routine:
- Face mask
- Hair mask
- Crossword puzzle
- Listen to calming music
- Yoga/stretching
- Night time tea
- CBD Oil meditation
- Knitting
- Listen to a soothing podcast
- Pray
- Journal
- Bubble bath
Each of these count as self-care. Again, self-care is meant to set you up for SUCCESS. It’s meant to focus on YOU and YOU only. It’s not meant to be shared!
