Spring is the perfect time to start a new self-care routine. If you don’t have a lot of time, no problem, there are plenty of quick picks.
Let’s face it, most of us don’t have hours to spend at a spa or curled up with a book (though wouldn’t that be nice?). Between work, family, and everything else on the to-do list, self-care can easily slip to the bottom. But here’s the secret: self-care doesn’t have to take a lot of time to make a difference! Even just 10 minutes can give you the little recharge you need to face the rest of your day feeling refreshed and centered. Here are some quick, doable self-care ideas anyone can fit in, from DealDash.
Quick Stretch & Deep Breathing Break
One of the simplest ways to reset your body and mind is a few minutes of stretching combined with deep breathing. Stand up, roll your shoulders, stretch your arms, touch your toes. Pair that with a few deep inhales and slow exhales. You’ll be amazed at how much tension melts away. Sneak this in while dinner’s cooking or while the kids are working on homework. It’s your mini-moment of zen!
Special Sipping Time
Instead of gulping down your usual coffee or tea while multitasking, take 10 minutes to savor it. Make a cup of your favorite tea, coffee, or even a warm mug of cocoa. Sit somewhere quiet (even if it’s just a cozy corner), take slow sips, and let yourself relax without checking your phone or emails. Treat yourself to a cute new mug or tea sampler, sometimes a little newness makes your “me time” feel extra special.
Do a 10-Minute Digital Detox
This one’s simple but powerful. Put your phone on airplane mode, close the laptop, and turn off the TV. For just 10 minutes, unplug from screens. Use the time to journal, doodle, step outside for some fresh air, or just sit quietly and let your thoughts wander. It’s surprising how much calmer you’ll feel after even a short break from the constant buzz. You might not think it will make much of a difference, but try it every day for a week. You will feel the difference!
