When you feel the need to pamper our self, the only thing that crosses our minds is a good skin care like facials, face masks, manicures, pedicures or a nice warm bubble bath. But self care is not confined to skin care. Self care means relaxing your mood or may be mind or even thoughts or perception to personality. The change or urge to change anything about our self can count as self care and it is way too important to bless ourselves with “better ourselves“.
Apart from looking out for our health, hygiene, body, face and beauty, showers, nutritious food, meditation or yoga, there are still more productive ways through which we can enhance our personality or character which in turn will boost our confidence in ourselves. Some of them are as follows:
- Analyze your feelings, write or journal about them, take support for mindfulness.
- Doing personal work by planning.
- Re-arrange your room or home.
- Take a day out or weekend might be good enough to declutter, clean and organize your messed up wardrobe or drawers.
