10 Self-Care Ideas for Busy Women

10 Self-Care Ideas for Busy Women

Self-care is and should always be an essential part of your lifestyle, especially when you have a busy 9 to 5 life. Here’s why. 

When you choose self-care, it means well deserved me-time. You already may feel on a tightrope sometimes. Juggling between your high standards of keeping up with everything at work, making sure your family has all your love, and planning that sought after perfect lifestyle.

You can kill it at work and home, regardless of whether you have a good or bad day. Inner balance is found through self-care and prioritizing yourself without feeling guilty.

 

Before we share our curated self-care ideas for women, carving out time to do so begins with setting boundaries.

 

 

How to build in self-care for after-work-life balance

 

Set your work hours in stone

No emails after you’re done with work for the day. No last-minute calls, no urgent messages. You have a family, you have a life, and you are enjoying it. 

 

 

Set an “away from work” auto-response message on Slack, emails, anywhere people might try to contact you. You’ll get back to them as soon as work hours resume, every time. You’re consistent, a hard worker, and dependable. But you’re not available 24/7. No one should be.

 

Organize your tasks for the week and track them

Being organized about the use of your time will allow you to plan your work week and stay focused on the goals you have for each day.

When it’s time to log off, whichever task was left unfinished, it’s important to acknowledge it and move it for the next day. The world will not come to an end if you send that email to your boss the next morning, or if you explain that you needed more time to finish a specific deliverable. 

Be strict about your work schedule, try to stay focused and productive and learn to live with the endless to-do list for another day.

Dry brushing your skin is something you'll want to add to your beauty regimen. Dry brushing improves your blood circulation, lymphatic drainage and reducing cellulite. 

 

4. Massage your face with face rollers

Pamper skin with the relaxing benefits of face rollers. The most effective face rollers are made out of gemstones that help balance your energy while reducing puffiness and inflammation. They’re also great for applying skincare products after your relaxing shower or hot bath in the evening.

Self-care ideas for mental health

 

6. Meditate before bed

Unplugging after work can be hard if we aren’t strict about tuning out and training our mind to “mute” those notifications and stress triggers from our devices. Meditating before bed can be the first step towards calming your mind and relaxing your body before sleep.

 

7. Practice journal prompts

One of the best ways to nurture self-love and tackle insecurities is to practice journaling for being kind to yourself. Write down affirmations to help you believe in the incredible woman you are becoming every single day.

 

8. Diffuse your bedroom with essential oils

Aromatherapy can do wonders for your mind-body connection and it is proven to help you relax. Explore the benefits of inhaling relaxing aromas before bed. Here are some ways to use Lavender essential oil in your self-care rituals. 

 

9. Manifest positive energy for the next day

The right candle and ritual can clear your mind from negative thoughts. Carve out time for mindful moments and positive manifesting to make it happen.

 

10. Give overnight fasting a try

Fasting has been known to help improve the mind-body connection, it’s not just about the diet. While it also helps to detox your body, remove toxins and improve your overall health, fasting also has a direct relationship with improving your brain function.
