I have always believed that self-care is very important! I try to do a little self-care everyday, but sometimes I fall behind on taking care my myself. For blogmas, I wanted to do a little 12 days of self-care where I do one (or more) type of self-care for 12 days! I’ve made a list that is in no certain order, and if you want to mix and match you can!!
- Take time to journal
- Meditate
- Clean your space
- Move your body
- Do something creative
- Skincare routine
- Take care of your body
- Declutter a small area
- Throw your worries away
- Unplug from electronics
- Write tomorrow’s to do list
- Tell your friends how much you love & appreciate them
Take time to journal
My journaling in December might look a little different than normal. In December and January I want to think about what and how I want to change in the new year. Some prompts I am asking myself include:
- What am I letting go of?
- What habits do I want going into 2026?
- What am I manifesting in 2026?
Meditate
I used to meditate often in college. I did it after my yoga classes, but I really started doing it after I started taking a meditation class my last year of school. I have since fallen off the wagon, but I want to get back into it. Why?
- It helps my thoughts not be so crazy all the time.
- It makes me appreciate the stillness.
- It helps me relax.
Clean your space
Almost nothing irritates me more than a messy space. To me, a messy space makes a messy mind. Here lately I have been trying to tidy my space even if it’s just for 10 minutes.
Do something creative
I think we take in too much creative content instead of making creative content. I know I sure do. This is part of why I am pushing myself this month to read more, post Vlogmas and post blogmas too! I have missed several days, but I am going to keep going instead of giving up. Here’s some creative ideas.
- Start writing a book
- Film, edit & post on YouTube or tik tok
- Write and publish a blog!
- Color / paint / draw
- Craft / DIY something
Skincare routine
Since starting Vlogmas on YouTube, I have been a lot better about doing my basic nighttime skin routine! I have also been trying to sometimes incorporate some other things like my red light therapy face mask, a regular face mask, gua sha stone and using sugar scrub (especially on my hands).
Take care of your body
I’ve been trying to take care of my body more by drinking more water, eating more fruits and veggies, and just knowing when to REST.
Declutter a small area
I don’t know about you, but I have wayyyy too much stuff. In November, I’ve started decluttering things I don’t need, and I have actually gotten rid of a lot more things than I thought I would!
Throw your worries away
I seen this online, and I want to try it! You write down on a piece of paper everything that you are worried about and then you literally throw it away.
Unplug from electronics
I definitely need to do this!! Even just for 30 minutes. I need to sit down under a cozy blanket with a warm drink and just chill. No tv. No phone. No kindle. Just chill.
Write tomorrow’s to do list
Write down everything you want to do the next day so that’s one thing you don’t have to worry about when you get up!
Tell your friends how much you love & appreciate them
Sometimes I forget to let the people I care about know that I do care about them.
What are some self-care acts you implement in your life?
