Wellness is defined as the quality or state of being in good health. While many areas of our life play into our overall wellness, personal mental wellness is essential to feeling your best and living the life you desire! And a VITAL part of personal mental wellness is self-care.
Here are 8 simple ways to practice self-care DAILY to ensure your body and mind are in tip-top shape.
- Get 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Many studies have shown those who do not get enough sleep are more likely to experience negative thoughts, anger, frustration, irritability, and sadness.
- Shower and get dressed, heck put on some make-up if you have a few extra minutes. The shower not only helps you wake up, but can also boost energy, increase productivity, and increase blood flow and circulation, stimulating increased oxygen levels to your brain.
- Meditate/Pray. Taking 5-10 minutes to meditate, pray, or just sit quietly can help clear your mind, relax, or find inner peace.
- Physical Activity. Take a jog, go for a walk or hike, practice yoga. Physical activity helps fight depression by producing serotonin in your brain. Seratonin also helps regulate sleep, mood, and appetite.
- Gratitude and Reflection. Gratitude is directly related to greater happiness by helping people appreciate experiences and relationships.
- Journal. Writing your current problems down helps to vent and dump. It also allows your brain to start working on solutions to those problems!
- Eat a well-balanced diet and take a daily multi-vitamin. Giving your body a nutritious diet and essential vitamins will help keep you full of energy and improve your mood too!
- Read. Reading can be a relaxing escape to current worries or expand your mind and learn about new things.

Thanks for the helpful tips. Didn’t know all the benefits of taking showers.
Great list. All those suggestions would really help a lot
Totally agree that self-care is so important! We try to get up at the asme time every day and have started going for morning walks and it makes such a difference.
I’m really realizing more and more how even 10 minutes of exercise could make so much difference in my mood in a day! Thanks for this wonderful post x
Great reminder. I like to combine self care practices so often I’ll take advantage of the steamy shower and do some breathwork while I’m in there.
Always have to get in that self care <3
Sometimes I dont feel like I get enough self-care
People always underestimate the importance of physical health on mental health. Great job!
Self-care is so important! Great post.
