The Self-Care Sunday movement
Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health, according to PsychCentral.com. We can do this for ourselves to improve mood and anxiety, which can be particularly heightened on a Monday night before work.
However, not all activites can be considered self-care. Agnes Wainman explained, self-care is “something that refuels us, rather than takes from us.”
The Self-Care Sunday movement is a great way for one to keep in touch with themselves especially after a weekend (big or low key). Get ready for the working week ahead by indulging yourself in activites that will elimate that are sure to reduce pesky Monday Blues.
Here are some self-care ideas you can do on your Sunday:
- Do an at-home mini spa - soak in a bath, do a facemask or facial, a nourishing hair treatment 💆♀️
- Cook a delicious dinner or desert for that evening. Do meal prep for the week ahead 👩🍳
- Do a medidtation session, yoga or breathing exercises 🧘
- Read a book or watch a TV show or movie 📺
- Do a digital detox just before bed and avoid any social media 📵
- Listen to your favourite music 🎧
- Make sure you get enough sleep - aim for eight hours 😴
- Create a to-do list for personal and work things, in order to be organised for the week ahead ✍️
