How to Practice Self Care and Feel Better, More Alert, Focused and at Peace

The concept of how to practice self-care has reached an enormous level of popularity recently.

If you scroll through nearly any social media feed geared toward the female audience, you’ll inevitably find features on beauty treatments, relaxation, or someone participating in “retail therapy” complete with the hashtag #selfcare at the bottom of the post.

The term “self care” takes on a number of different forms depending on who’s doing the talking, and there’s no one set way to achieve the “self care” you keep seeing across social media all of the time.

The Best Evening Self Care Routine for Busy Moms and Women on the Go

While we can all agree that an ideal self-care routine might look like pouring ourselves a glass of wine after a long day, putting on a plush bathrobe and charcoal face mask and binge-watching a favorite tv show while our partners put the kids to bed, we can also all agree that incorporating a routine like that into our schedules is pretty far-fetched.

Creating a quick and effective self-care routine doesn’t have to be an involved process. For most of us, we’re busy and on the go much of the time, and even the mere thought of partaking in a complex self-care routine can sound like too much work at the end of a busy day. But fear not! You can still make time for a simple yet beneficial self-care routine that– if practiced consistently– will bring you some much needed inner (and outer) peace and overall calm to an involved and active life.

Let’s just get it out of the way: It’s safe to say that we all appreciate self-care and understand the benefits of incorporating caring practices and routines into our schedules to better ourselves, to recharge us, and to live overall happier, more balanced lives.

Sometimes, though, we really don’t have time to leave the office to go for a walk, or to take some peaceful time in your room for a thirty minute meditate while a fussy toddler bangs on the door, or the teenager who doesn’t yet have a driver’s license needs to go to yet another activity, or your significant other is asking “What’s for dinner?”.

More often than not, the last thing we’re thinking of on busy mornings is a self-care routine. From getting ourselves ready to getting the kids dressed and fed and off to school while trying to dial in for a conference call, setting aside time each morning for self-care might seem next to impossible.

But before you write off a morning self-care routine as a far-fetched luxury you simply won’t ever have the time for, we’d like to suggest that such a practice can be implemented into the lives of even the most busy working women and moms.
