How do I create a self care routine?

To be successful in following through with your daily or weekly routine, it is important to make sure of a couple things.

While creating a daily routine or creating new habits, ask yourself these questions:

• Are the things or tasks I want to incorporate realistic?

• Is there anything I need to change around in my schedule to make time for self care?

• What specific hobbies, interests, or activities do I want to do for self care?

• What days and times do I have available to put towards my interests?

• What are my non negotiable self care items?

• How will I respond if others push back on my needs?

Once you have an idea of these answers, you can plug in your self care wherever it works in your schedule. Maybe you workout after work. Maybe you go hiking on the weekends. Maybe you go play Bingo on Monday nights. Maybe you go to the farmers market Saturday mornings. Making time to prioritize yourself is necessary to feel balanced, stable, and like yourself.
