SELF-CARE
No matter what age, we should all be making time to take care of ourselves mentally and physically.
Self-Care can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
There may be some activities that you enjoy a lot more than others.
1. Take the time to think on activities that can help you develop a self-loving attitude towards yourselves.
2.So figure out what works best for you and make a list of self-care activities you will enjoy. It’s all about what will make you happy and relaxed!
3.Self-care is about integrating positive habits into your daily routine, so you will have to do ONE "self-care" activitie every day for a week.
Look at my "self-care" checklist!
Now you have to do your own "Self-care" checklist!
These are just a few examples of self-care activities that you might enjoy…
1 – Calm Down Yoga
2- Body Melting
This is a quick yet very effective way to get you to loosen up and calm down. When you start to feel tense, your body physically tenses up. So the best way to relax your mind is to relax your body.
Stand frozen like a statue and then slowly start ‘melting’ your body toward the floor by relaxing your muscles. Take big deep breathes each time you ‘melt’ until you are laying on the floor, complete relaxed and ‘melted’.

3 – Journaling
I know it seems repetitive that journaling is always brought up when you talk about self-care, but there’s a reason for it… it works!
Write down your feelings… no matter how angry you are or what you want to say. Even if you are mad at someone. Write it all down.

4 – Try Coloring
Seems simple right? But here’s the catch. There are two kinds of coloring. Angry coloring and calming coloring. If you are in a mood and displaying some real anger, take a blank piece of paper and just scribble as hard and as fast as you can.
Once you get that all out, you can move on to calm coloring. Get a colouring book to keep in your room so whenever you need it, you can do some calm coloring. It really can be a great stress reliever.
5- Listen to Calming Music
When it comes to stress and anger, you can have a really hard time regulating those emotions.
Especially during times of stress like being stuck at home, or having a hard time at school.
This is when self-care becomes especially important!
