a master post of some small self care tips

get into a skin care routine. it doesn’t have to be daily but make it a regular routine; at least 2-3 times a week

if you have a habit of not drinking water, come up with a healthy but tasty and rejuvenating substitute, like smoothies or gatorade

who cares if that top don’t look good on you; flaunt it girl!

don’t let yourself go three whole days without showering. Please.

and if you still can’t find the motivation to shower, get a delicious scented shower gel or bathing soap that you really REALLY like.

if you find yourself in a rut of any kind, just step outside and find some nature to study. just looking at something as small as a spider walking across the grass for a few minutes can clear the mind.

if you’re looking for something inspirational and/or a relaxing environment, walk outside right when the sun hits the horizon line during the evening hours and just look at the sky. trust me.

go grocery shopping at least once a week! make sure you have enough food to make your three proper meals a day.

don’t stay in the house for several days without social interaction. even if you don’t have anywhere to go, just get out more! go to a bookstore or something and take in the different environment.

you don’t always have to hang out with friends. it’s okay to want to be alone for an extended period of time. just hit em back when you’re ready. i’m sure they’ll understand.

quit trying to satisfy others so much. if they don’t like the you that YOU want to be, they shouldn’t and don’t deserve your time.

feel yourself once in a while! you don’t have to leave the house while you do it but dress yourself up like you're hittin up the club with your homegirls.

talking to yourself is absolutely not weird at all. i’m pretty sure you’d actually go mad if you didn’t talk to yourself once in a while.

eat that cake. eat the ice cream sundae. eat that damn big mac. you deserve it.

you’d be surprised at how rejuvenating a 30 minute nap can be.

it’s okay to just lay in bed and relax if you’re having one of those days.

don’t overwork yourself. it’s okay to push past your limits in order to challenge yourself but it’s not okay to push to your own self destruction.

try new things every once in a while, whether it be food, a hobby, an activity, anything. just expand your comfort zone little by little.

don’t be pressured to do something just because of social standards. be yourself; that’s the only way to be the unique one in the crowd.

make yourself the main character in your own story! if you find your life isn’t as interesting as others’, make it interesting! do something you usually don’t do and see how it plays out, and who knows? you might even enjoy it.

like what you wanna like. give absolutely 0 fucks to anybody who tries to shit on your interests and passions. just do what you want. you’ll find you're more satisfied with yourself that way.

don’t fall under peer pressure. just don’t.

if you’re listening to your fav music in the car and feel a solo comin on, OWN THAT MF SOLO. those people looking from the other cars? they’re your audience. sing and dance like it’s the last time you’ll ever sing and dance.

if you haven’t heard it lately, i’ll say it again; YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID.

when you get sad, listen to slow and somber music. it may seem odd but it’s way more satisfying.

find some time for yourself and ONLY yourself. it’s totally fine to worry about studies, work, etc., but don’t forget to take a quick break once in a while and do stuff that YOU want to do.

if you find yourself in a creative rut, listen to new music. whether it be a new song, a new album, or even a new genre, listening to something different will help the thinking process move along.

if you don’t feel like working today but feel bad for getting nothing done, come up with a productive substitute. cleaning your room, making your bed, or even just getting dressed can make you pretty satisfied with the progress you’ve made that day

if you have a window, open the blinds! natural light hitting the inside of a space can really make a mood change for the better

take some time to take You time! your mental and physical health is WAY more important than any work or person on the planet <3
