4 Self Care Ideas For A Happier Life

Looking for some self care ideas to help you love yourself this February? With the season of love in our minds, it's time to give a little bit of that love to yourself! If you're looking for a reason to treat yourself, look no further. Self care can help undo a stressful week, a tense convo, and just get you ready to bring your A-game.


1. Open your front door

As often as you can, try to go outside. Instead of being in the comfort of your home, the outdoors will improve your mental and physical health. Try to go into more green spaces, even if you have to take your workout outside for a bit, this is the ultimate act of self-care. Being in more green spaces benefits the brain in a similar way to regular meditation.

2. Get a hit of oxytocin

Whenever you can, try to be helpful. If you see someone struggling, offer to help. Pay it forward, buy a stranger their coffee order, go forward and be kinder. Try not to think about what's in it for you, and instead, focus on what you can do for others. Helping others affect self-confidence, self-esteem and general well being. Acts of kindness can release hormones that contribute to your mood and overall well being. 


3. Stress less 

Stress is really bad for your health. If you're trying to take care of yourself, you need to learn to deal with stressors better. The more stressed you think you are, the worse it is for your heart. You can't eliminate stress, but by learning to limit its effects on your brain and body, you can lessen the chances of heart problems and high blood pressure.

4. The best therapy is retail therapy 

Of course! Treat yourself to something every once in a while, set some money aside to go shopping and enjoy your day treating yourself. As people shop, they're naturally visualizing how they'll use the products they're considering, and in doing so, they're also visualizing their new life. Visualization is a performance booster and anxiety reducer.


And with self care comes readiness to care for others. How about giving a loved one a special gift this season? Valentines may have passed, but why not make everyday Valentines Day?
