Quick portrait sketch I started inbetween work.

wanted to try something green and try out a new painting technique :)

Todays Self Care idea: Take a 20-minute power nap. If you can’t sleep, lying down and closing your eyes also helps to feel more rested.

Thanks to everyone who has followed this month in selfcare project! I still have a few self care ideas left, that I will post sporadically over the next weeks.  I hope you’ve all enjoyed it so far and could take away some basic strategies for your own selfcare :)

Todays Self Care idea is a breathing exercise for stress and anxiety: 

Inhale for 6 seconds - hold your breath for 6 seconds – exhale for 6 seconds. Repeat the exercise for 2 minutes.

Todays Self Care idea: Ask someone for help with a current problem. New angles or a helping hand can make things a lot easier.

Todays Self Care idea: Time for a break. Plan a  spa day for yourself, a trip or small vacation that you always wanted to do.

Todays Self Care idea: Invite a friend to talk about the positive things in your life right now. Also, ask how your friend is doing.

Todays Self Care idea: Write a letter about an idol of yours, how they improved your life and how they influenced you. You don’t have to send the letter if you don’t want to, but it’s nice to reflect on who shaped you in who you are and motivates you to keep going!

Todays Self Care idea: Show somebody in your life how important they are to you and how much you apprechiate them.

Todays Self Care idea: Pass an honest compliment to a friend or a stranger you meet today. Wish them a good day or say something nice about them that you really mean.

Todays Self Care idea: Try a sport that is new for you. E.g. go for a short run, try a yoga video course or grab a friend and go indoor climbing.

Todays Self Care idea: Think about your role models (and if you feel like it write your thoughts down). What do you admire about them? How do they inspire you?

Todays Self Care idea: Invite yourself on a self-date, e.g. with your favorite food and a movie.
