BEST SELF CARE GIFTS FOR WOMEN ROUNDUP

It seems like everyone I know has been through some form of anxiety over the past year.

It can be brought on by grief, fear, new changes, uncertainty, hardship, or the people around you.

There is a movement among the mental health community to increase awareness of the need to take care of ourselves mentally. We are so focused as a society on outside appearances, but I can tell you firsthand that just because someone looks like they have it all together on the outside, doesn’t mean they aren’t a wreck inside.

Self care takes many forms.

The point is to train yourself to deal with big emotions in a healthier way.

Here are some ways I work self care into my daily routine:

Have a morning routine that allows you to ease into the day. (I use the Headspace App to meditate 10 minutes each morning after coffee.)
Take a time out each afternoon to access how you’re feeling. (I eat lunch outside to get some sunshine and silence.)
Put a little fun in each day. Laugh! (My husband and I text each other funny memes or GIFS all day.)
Finish the day with something that relaxes you. (I like to drink hot tea in bed while I watch a show.)

I’ve compiled a list of the best self care gifts to help you in your self care routine this month (or maybe to help you start one!).

To introduce a little fun into each day, I recommend:

You may be a perfectionist. Your self care can be learning to let go of perfection and celebrating progress.

To remind yourself to take it one step at a time, I recommend:

GIFTS TO LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF

You may be the kind of person who fears confrontation and would rather hide in your bed than deal with any possible upset to your daily routine. You self care may be getting to know yourself better and understanding why you react in the way you do so that you can create healthier ways to deal with challenges.

To understand more about yourself, I recommend:

GIFTS TO ESTABLISH HEALTHY HABITS

You may just be a serial goal breaker and need to practice better health habits for your body. I’m no health coach, but I do know the #1 way to improve your health is to drink lots of water. That’s something we all should be doing anyway! Here, I’ll jump on this one with you…

For help on creating healthy habits, I recommend:

GIFTS TO FOCUS ON HOPE IN HARDSHIP

You may be the kind of person that feels pessimistic and negative about most situations. You’re a realist, but to what extent is this impacting your mindset? Your self care may be working on seeing things in a new light: learning to trust and let go of the little things. To see hope in hard things.

To motivate yourself in hard times, I recommend:
