🌸 My Daily Self-Care Routine

This is the gentle routine I follow to bring balance to my mind, emotions, body, and spirit. Writing it here helps me stay committed, and maybe it inspires someone else too.

🌞 Morning (7:00 – 9:00 AM)

• 🧘 Wake & Silence (5–10 min) – Sit quietly, breathe deeply, and center myself.

• 🤸 Gentle Movement (10–20 min) – Stretch, yoga, or a short dance warm-up.

• 🥣 Nourishing Breakfast – Simple, warm, and light.

• 🎨 Creative Start (30–60 min) – A little music, dance, or art before the day begins.

🌸 Daytime (10:00 AM – 5:00 PM)

• 💻 Focused Work (2–3 hrs) – Choose ONE main project to move forward.

• 🚶 Short Breaks – Walk, drink water, stretch.

• 🥗 Light Lunch (1–2 PM) – Keep it balanced and easy to digest.

• 🎶 Afternoon Tasks – Website work, organizing, or creative projects.

🌿 Evening (6:00 – 7:00 PM)

• 🛁 Footsoak with ghee camphor (20 min) – Warm water, camphor in ghee, and quiet music.

• 🍲 Light Dinner (7:30 PM) – Soup, steamed veggies, or light grains.

🌙 Night (9:30 – 11:00 PM)

• 📵 Wind Down – No devices, calm atmosphere.

• ✍️ Gratitude Reflection (10 min) – Write 3 things I’m grateful for.

✨ Reminder to Myself

• Sleep before 11 PM to feel fresh.

• If tired, at least do the footsoak + gum massage.

• Sundays: keep it light, more rest and joy.

• 💖 This routine helps me stay balanced, calm my mind, and keep my creative energy flowing.

Here’s a 1-minute guided mental drift for you to fall asleep peacefully:

• Get comfortable in your bed, letting your body sink softly into the mattress.

• Close your eyes and take 3 slow, deep breaths – inhale for 4, hold for 2, exhale for 6.

• Focus on your feet – feel them heavy, warm, and relaxed. Let that warmth slowly rise through your legs.

• Move your attention upward – through your hips, stomach, chest, shoulders, arms, and neck. Let each part soften and release tension.

• Picture a soft, glowing light above your head. Imagine it gently spreading warmth and calm throughout your body.

• Let thoughts float by like clouds. If your mind drifts to tomorrow, gently return to your breathing and glowing light.

• Repeat a quiet affirmation in your mind: “I am calm. I am safe. I am ready for rest.”

• Allow your body to sink deeper into the bed. With each exhale, feel sleep wrapping around you.
