How to save time while doing self care
Self care is essential for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being, but it can sometimes feel like we don't have enough time to fit it into our busy schedules. However, there are several ways you can save time while still practicing self care! We have made a fun, easy list of things you can start doing today!
Make a Plan: One of the best ways to save time while doing self-care is to plan ahead. Create a self-care plan that includes specific activities and a set schedule. This can help you be more efficient with your time while ensuring that you're actually making time for self care.
Multi-task: Look for opportunities to combine self care with other tasks. For example, you can listen to an audiobook or a podcast while taking a relaxing bath, or do a quick yoga routine during your lunch break (we can help you make one!).
Keep it simple: Self care doesn't have to be complicated or time consuming. Choose activities that are easy to do and don't require a lot of preparation. Routine helps A LOT with this. Once you are in the habit of doing something good for you, it's difficulty level doesn't actually seem that high.
Set boundaries: Set boundaries around your self care time to ensure that you're able to fully focus on your chosen activity. Let your family and friends know that you need some time alone to recharge, and ask them to respect your boundaries.
Use technology: There are many apps and online resources available that can help you save time while practicing self care! For example, you can use a meditation app to guide you through a quick mindfulness practice, or use a self care planner app to help you stay on track with your goals.
Eliminate the "in between": Time for a plug - Amala comes to you! Without leaving your own home or rental, you can experience a rejuvenating massage or energizing yoga flow without the drive or wait time.
Remember, self care doesn't have to be time consuming or complicated. Prioritizing self care can help you feel more relaxed, energized, and focused, which can ultimately help you be more productive and efficient in other areas of your life.
