When stress comes knocking, no matter how ready you are, it still packs a punch.  You’re uncomfortable, tired and constantly wish the day would just reset. It’s times like these when you need to recognise how and when to put yourself first and hop on board that self-care train — and, luckily, it’s way easier than you would think.

Write down what you’re grateful for

1/6

Get a note book and at the end of each day, jot down three things you’re grateful for. Even when it’s been a bad day, you’ll start to appreciate the little things in life you never really noticed.

Meditate

2/6

Calm your mind to have a good night’s rest. There are several free apps available that have step-by-step guides to help you meditate. Meditating can help to clear your mind so it’ll prevent your thoughts from running wild just before bedtime.

Treat yourself

3/6

Always leave some me time at the end of the day. Enjoy a facial mask or soak in the bathtub to let yourself rest and recuperate after a long day.

Ditch your phone an hour before sleeping

4/6

Yes, this is definitely hard, but just think of it as sleeping one hour earlier. Turn off your phone and give yourself a peace of mind with zero notifications before bed.

Read

5/6

Immerse yourself in a light-hearted novel. Reading brings you to another world and you’ll be too busy reading to think about the pressing issues you have at hand.

Listen to your favourite music

6/6

Create your own playlist with all your feel good music. Whenever you’re feeling down, whip out your earphones and listen to this playlist.
