Today, the 21st of June marks the beginning of ‘World Wellbeing Week’. While the words ‘wellness’ and ‘self-care’ have been thrown around so much in recent times that they’ve *almost* ceased to lose all meaning, the actual act of doing something kind for yourself hasn’t.
Doing something kind for yourself can be as small as lighting a candle or as major as cutting a toxic person out of your life. However, for right now we’re focusing on the small things that can bring a little joy to our lives each day.
Of course, you shouldn’t only indulge during a dedicated week for self-care, it should be a weekly, if not daily occurrence. But, we’re happy to take this week as the green light to go that extra mile for ourselves, because after the year we’ve had, lord knows we deserve it.
Here are 20 simple ways to treat yourself this week, (none of which will break your bank account or give you a hangover.)
Pick up a new hobby
Order a takeaway
Listen to a podcast
Book a day off work
Take a long walk
Change your bedsheets
Moisturise all over
Get an early night
Buy new pjs
Get some flowers
Watch that movie on your ‘to watch’ list
Cook something new
Switch off your wifi
Book a spontaneous adventure
Write a ‘to-do’ list
Have a sea swim
Jot down 5 things you’re grateful for
