It feels a lil indulgent. But sometimes you gotta do you and have some alone time. Cook a nice meal for you and your cat. Take a fuckin bath. Go to bed early. idk i think it’s good every once in a while, even tho the whole self care thing is a lil cliche

take a week day off and go on a little adventure…

and don’t do any errands or cleaning that day, just like set a little budget — get a book and read it in the park with a snack, or take yourself out to coffee / people watch and then go see a movie or two. or go to a museum right when it opens and then get lunch (outside!) for yourself and pick something else to do after. for me, at least one part has to be artistic (book/film/art) and another has to be outside (most important part) then at the end of the day, find a good spot to watch the sunset and journal about your day and feelings!! it feels better because you’ll be in less of a slump after a nice day and will have a lighter mood to be thinking about what’s up lastly… go home and do a full shower, do the most relaxing possible version of your nightly routine (and no scrolling social media). if you can, wash your sheets a day or two before and put on a fresh set of PJs that night too… it makes crawling into bed that much better (also bonus points if you meditate before you fall asleep) i find this (one-day vacation? 12 hr solo date?) is a really nice way to reset my brain when everything is overwhelming or i feel like i’m stuck not doing much besides going through the motions. i tend to do it every few weeks lately and it is surprisingly refreshing ✨

i <3 alone time because you can really take your time and lollygag and do whatever you want

some ideas: - going to the movies - going shopping (not for necessities, just for fun - esp at the thrift or vintage/antique places) - exploring new parts of ur city if there are places you've never been - doing your usual routine but at a cafe or (if the weather is nice) outside - like going to the park to read a book u were gonna read anyway - teaching urself a new creative skill and showing ur work to no one as u steadily improve, like painting, sewing, etc - getting to know urself more through journalling - could even be art journalling, junk journalling, collaging or using prompts if you're not much of a writer - going to museums turn ur phone off for all of these btw it's you time baby!!!

Knowing when to rest

Seems simple but it’s important! Alone time is my favorite time. Some days are not for bettering yourself. Sometime you have to bask in the sun in the park, or rot in your bed while watching tv.
