Self-care may look different for everyone. It's no secret that finding some time for yourself is not only beneficial but necessary.
Keep reading to find out my top ten self-care tips! Some of them may surprise you!
☀️ Curl your hair
This one may seem simple, but life is about the simple, small joys. The act of taking those extra few minutes of putting some pizazz into your locks will leave a permanent smile on your face!
☀️ Get Your Nails Done
Sometimes a girl wants some fancy nails! The best part is you don't have to go to the salon to get those done. Aspen Nails has some beautiful, quality nails you can apply yourself. They don't last as long, but they sure are beautiful!
☀️ Get a special treat
If you're a coffee lover, a well-made, perfectly prepared coffee ☕️ is gold. That first sip feeling will leave you in a state of happiness. If you can, support your local coffee shop. Not only are you treating yourself, but you're also sharing the love by supporting the small business near you.
☀️ Go Outside
Breathing in fresh air is a natural stress reliever.
☀️ Be a good listener
Being present for others is an act of self-care. Next time that one neighbor walks by, you know the one, the one who traps you in that hour-long conversation? 😅 Don't avoid that talkative neighbor. Take some time to be a good listener. Being kind to others reflects back on you.
☀️ Hug your pet
Animals have the unique ability to sense any anxiety or turmoil people are feeling. Take a minute and snuggle your pet. If you don't have one, hug a friend's pet. Animals are God's gift to people.
☀️Share a Treat
This one doesn't need to break the bank. A small handwritten note or a friendship bracelet letting someone know you are thinking about them goes a long way. Never underestimate the power of kindness.

This can be as small or as big as you would like. Organizing a book club is a great way to stay close to a group of friends. Filling your cup up with sweet memories is a perfect way to self-care.
☀️Listen to Music While Folding Laundry
Hear me out here. This one isn't conventional, but it does work! Turn on some instrumental music. Something is soothing about listening to music while folding a massive pile of towels. You will feel the stress leaving your body as you fold your towels. The act of folding will keep your mind from overthinking if you happen to struggle with intrusive thoughts when things get too 🤫

This tip keeps money in your wallet, but provides the tactile therapy we all need at times.
