10 self care tips for mindful living
Here is a few things I like to do in order to feel more at peace. I find these things helpful!
Morning Breather
I like to take a morning breather just put your phone away and just sit there breath think and then get up. Things I like to think about are how I'm feeling, what I want to get done and things I'm grateful for.
Journaling
I like to journal every morning after my breather and every night before I go to sleep.
My journal include what i fill out in the morning on the front page and on the back for my night time journal include the following things.
Front/Morning
The date- I put this at the top of my page
How I woke up feeling- I say if I woke up in a a good mood or not etc.
If I took a moment to breath- This is a simple yes or no in which I circle
The things I would like to accomplish- just simple bullet pints that I fill in
What I am grateful for- I fill out what I am grateful for that day
Thoughts- I fill out what I'm thinking about that morning
Back/Night
Water- I do little cups and fill in how many cups of water I drank
What I ate- Just fill in what I ate nothing fancy
How my day was- I fill out how my day was. If it was good or bad or anything in between!
Late night thoughts- Just log any thoughts I was thinking about at that moment
Water
It might not seem like much but water really has a huge affect on your body. It helps with things like your mood, energy level, metabolism, and much more from skin to your overall health.
Meditation
Take a moment to sit down look up a meditation sound and sit and listen for little while this helps with a lot. It helps me just slowdown and take a moment to completely relax
Writing
When I have a lot on my mind I find it helpful to write. I like to write about whatever I am thinking about, what I want in life and other things that pop in my mind. I think it helps me straighten out my thoughts and get it off my head.
Spa Days
Now I'm not suggestion actually going to a salon considering that's not a option right now but there are lot of fun things you can do right at home!
Things I like to do include:
Face masks- Mask are good for multiple things including Cleaning pores refeshing sking and more. They come in clay mask, peel- off, and sheet masks.
Bath Bombs- Bath bombs are a fun way to enjoy a bath some bubble up some have fun surprises all are perfect!

Nose strips- I suffer with blackhead on my nose which i know most people can relate to nose strips are a efficient way to clear your pores fast and easy!

Wake up make your bed get up and get ready! Just get moving even if your not going anywhere just get up. Make yourself feel good!
Walks
Get your blood flow going get out. I know how much it sucks to stay inside so just get out take a nice walk listen to music and get going!!!
