Self-Care Routines

Updated: Jan 7, 2021


Our club members have found these techniques to be useful. You can pick and choose and find out the combination that you like the most! These are not the only techniques that you can adopt into your life. Therefore, we encourage you to explore other self-care routines.


1.Start Your Day With A 5-10 Minute Meditation

Morning meditations help ground you and serve as a template of emotions for the day. We often feel much more grounded and easier to be joyful and present if we start our morning being grateful, loving, and passionate.


2.Take A Breath Throughout Your Day (Mini-Meditations)

Often people who meditate do not integrate their state of being into daily activities. However, it will be easier for meditators to remember the feeling of being present. For example, Instead of waiting in line for your coffee, be present. Enjoy the smell of the coffee shop. Listen to people's chatter. And most importantly, notice how you feel. By doing these mini-meditations, we help ourselves to refocus and become aware again.


3.Explore Different Types Of Meditations

There is a large variety of different mediations that focus on different techniques. Some incorporate music while others only use the voice of the speaker. Some focus on breathing and observing and others are more guided and require you to actively use your mind. It is importan that you try new types and find which meditations work the best for you.

4. Engage In Physical Activity

Yoga, working-out, or even walking are great opportunities you to work on both your mind and your body. When participating in any physical activity be sure to observe how your body feels by monitoring your breathing and ackoqledging sensations in the body. Being completely present during these activities helps establish a better connection between your mind and body.
