Whether it means sleeping in an hour or two later than usual, getting out in nature, or binge watching your favourite series with a wine in hand, self-care looks different to every single one of us.
With the last couple of years serving us all curve ball after curve ball, taking some time out to prioritise our mental heath has never been more important.
So, here's our top 5 favourite self-care rituals you can easily implement into your daily routine.
1. Journalling - whether it be noting down a few things you're grateful for or putting your thoughts and feelings from pen to paper, journalling is a great way to put things into perspective and gain some clarity in life.
2. Meditate - the beauty with meditation is it's accessible to everyone! Whether you practise for a few minutes or an hour a day, meditation has been proven to reduce both mental and physical stress, as well as improving concentration.
3. Take a bath - We get so caught up running around each day ticking off a never ending to-do list, so light some scented candles and take some time to switch off for 20 minutes in pure bliss.
4. Pamper yourself - Your haircare and skin care routine play a big part when it comes to self-care. Treat yourself to a face mask, leave-in hair mask, or turn your general skin care regime into a self-care ritual by incorporating a jade roller for an added luxe feel.
5. Get outside - Research has shown us that being one with nature can help reduce blood pressure and slows down the production of stress hormones. Taking a walk down by the water, going for a bush walk or even sitting out on the grass is a powerful act of self care.
