Self-care practices go beyond the occasional at-home spa night, especially during the winter. Shorter days and colder nights can lead to unwanted seasonal depression, and taking care of yourself can keep your mind at peace during the winter months. Indulging in self-care practices can boost serotonin and give you time to reflect on your feelings and your overall well-being. It’s important to check in with yourself, address your needs, and figure out what you can do to feel your best, no matter what time of year it is.
If you’re looking for ways to treat yourself to some serious self-care, this list of ideas will help you put yourself first. From diving into a comforting book to reflecting on your feelings in a daily journal, keep reading to find the best practices that you can start doing today. Make yourself your number-one priority right now.
