My Best 8 Tips
Okay, now with that out of the way, I’m super excited to share the top 8 secrets I discovered on
my OWN path to achieving a healthier, happier lifestyle. Let’s start with #1
Secret #1: Prioritize Yourself
Prioritizing yourself and setting aside time for self-care is an important step in creating a comprehensive self-care routine. To make self-care a priority, it’s important to set aside time for it in your schedule and treat it as an important appointment or commitment. This means creating a designated self-care time each day or scheduling self-care activities into your weekly routine.
Making a date with yourself to prioritize self-care is a great way to make it a habit. Treat this time as a non-negotiable appointment, just as you would with a doctor’s appointment or a work meeting. It’s important to stick to this schedule and not let other commitments interfere with your self-care time. By doing this, you’ll be able to recharge your batteries, reduce stress, and improve your overall well-being. So, make a date with yourself and keep it, and prioritize your well-being by setting aside time for self-care.
Call to Action: SCHEDULE YOUR SELF-CARE
Look at your calendar RIGHT NOW and set a date/time for your daily self-care. Write it on your calendar or planner or put it on your phone. Commit to yourself and honor it.
Secret #2: Set Boundaries
Setting boundaries is a critical component of self-care, as it helps you to manage your time, energy, and resources in a way that supports your well-being. This can involve saying no to commitments and activities that are draining or unrealistic, as well as setting limits on how much time and energy you’re willing to spend on others. By doing this, you’ll be able to create space for the things that matter most to you, such as self-care, relationships, and hobbies.
It’s important to establish healthy boundaries in all areas of your life, including work, relationships, and social activities. This can involve setting clear expectations with others, communicating your needs and limits, and standing up for yourself when those boundaries are crossed. Remember, setting boundaries is not about being selfish or controlling, it’s about taking care of yourself and ensuring that your time and energy are spent in a way that supports your well-being. By establishing healthy boundaries, you’ll be able to prioritize yourself, reduce stress, and lead a happier and more fulfilling life.
Call to Action: TAKE TIME TO REFLECT
Close your eyes and reflect on your commitments and activities. Think about what is important to you, what drains your energy, and what you want to prioritize.
Secret #3: Know Your Values
Knowing your values is a critical step in creating a self-care routine that supports your well-being. Your values are the principles and beliefs that guide your life and shape your decisions. By identifying your values, you can better understand what is important to you and what you want to prioritize in your life. This can help you make decisions that align with your values and support your well-being, rather than making choices that are in conflict with them.
In order to know your values, it’s important to take the time to reflect on what matters most to you. This could involve journaling, meditating, or talking with a trusted friend or family member. Consider what is most important to you in different areas of your life, such as relationships, career, health, and personal growth. By identifying your values, you’ll be better equipped to make choices that support your well-being and lead you toward a more fulfilling life.
Call to Action: LIST YOUR VALUES
Take a moment to think about the things that are most important to you. Write them down in a journal or on a piece of paper, and use this list as a reference for future decision-making.
Secret #4: Identify Self-Care Needs
Identifying your self-care needs is a crucial step in creating a self-care routine that supports your well-being. Everyone’s self-care needs are different, and it’s important to determine what works best for you. This could involve evaluating your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and considering the areas where you need the most support.
To identify your self-care needs, start by paying attention to your body, mind, and emotions. Take note of when you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or burnt out, and consider what activities or practices could help you feel better. Some common self-care practices include exercise, meditation, spending time in nature, reading, and journaling. It’s important to experiment and try different self-care activities to determine what works best for you. By identifying your self-care needs, you’ll be able to create a self-care routine that supports your well-being and helps you feel your best.
Call to Action: KEEP A MOOD LOG
Keep a mood diary for a week. Note any changes in your mood and the reasons behind them to find self-care practices that would best help you.
Secret #5: Build a Support System
Building a support system is an important aspect of self-care, as it provides a source of encouragement, comfort, and support when you need it the most. A strong support system can help you manage stress, overcome challenges, and achieve your goals. This could involve seeking out friends, family members, or professional resources who can offer support and guidance.
It’s important to build a diverse support system that includes individuals who bring different perspectives, skills, and experiences. This can include close friends, family members, co-workers, and even virtual support groups. Consider seeking out individuals who share similar values and interests, as well as those who can offer a different perspective. Building a support system also involves being open and honest about your needs and asking for help when you need it. By doing this, you’ll be able to create a strong network of support that can help you navigate life’s challenges and achieve your goals.
Call to Action: IDENTIFY YOUR PEOPLE
In your journal or on a piece of paper, start a list of trusted confidants. Over the next few days, reach out and tell them each about your self-care plans.
Secret #6: Embrace Self-Compassion
Embracing self-compassion is an important aspect of self-care, as it helps you treat yourself with kindness and understanding, even when things don’t go as planned. Self-compassion involves recognizing your own suffering and treating yourself with the same kindness, care, and understanding that you would offer to a good friend. This can help you let go of self-criticism, negative self-talk, and feelings of shame and guilt.
Forgiving yourself for your setbacks is an important part of self-compassion. We all make mistakes, and it’s important to recognize that setbacks are a natural part of the learning process. By embracing self-compassion, you can let go of feelings of shame, guilt, and self-criticism and focus on moving forward. This can involve acknowledging your feelings, accepting them, and then focusing on what you can learn from the experience. By embracing self-compassion, you’ll be better equipped to handle challenges and setbacks, and will be able to build resilience and perseverance.
Call to Action: CREATE A SCRIPT
Dealing with setbacks can be difficult, but having a script of positive affirmations can make it easier to handle and overcome them.
Secret #7: Nourish Both Mind & Body
Nourishing both your mind and body is a crucial aspect of self-care. This involves taking care of your physical and mental health and making sure you’re fueling your body and mind with the things that help you feel your best. This could include eating a healthy, balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and engaging in regular physical activity.
In addition to taking care of your physical health, it’s also important to nourish your mind. This could involve engaging in activities that bring you joy, like reading, listening to music, or spending time with loved ones. It could also involve practicing mindfulness and meditation, which can help you reduce stress, increase focus, and boost overall well-being. Nourishing both your mind and body is an important aspect of self-care and can help you feel your best, both physically and mentally.
Call to Action: UPDATE YOUR ROUTINE
Make time for practices that promote mind-body wellness, such as physical activity, healthy eating, mindfulness exercises, and adequate sleep. Add them to your daily or weekly routine.

Creating healthy new habits is a key aspect of self-care, as it helps you make positive changes that will benefit you in the long term. This could involve forming new habits that support your physical health, such as eating a healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, or getting enough sleep. It could also involve forming new habits that support your mental health, such as meditating, journaling, or engaging in stress-reducing activities.
To create new habits, it’s important to start small and be consistent. This means setting achievable goals and taking small, incremental steps toward your desired outcome. It’s also important to be patient and kind to yourself and to celebrate your successes along the way. By creating healthy new habits, you’ll be able to improve your overall well-being and feel more in control of your life.
