Self-Care As Told By Audrey Hepburn

Although we all won't look as elegant or flawless as Audrey Hepburn when we're taking care of ourselves, self-care is extremely important.

Among many people, I am one that knows all too well that life can suck. Even more so, I know that life with anxiety and depression can be even worse. I totally understand the lack of motivation and the inability to get out of bed and have a want to do anything. But even when it's kicking your behind, it's extremely important to still take care of yourself.

1. Get some sun

You probably won't look as flawless as Audrey, but the sun is great for you. Get some Vitamin D and get some color! It's very possible to do so especially if you live in the Sunshine State!

2. Take a nap

Sleep is a good way to avoid things especially when you're as lethargic as you are. Sleep is a wonderful way to get away from reality. Turn off your phone and rest up!

3. Bake something

Baking something whether or not it is successful is a great way to also make sure you're eating. Pinterest, Pinterest, Pinterest, friends!

4. Take a bath

Just make sure you don't fall asleep. That wouldn't be good. Who doesn't love a good bubble bath, though?

5. Listen to music

Or play...if that's what floats your boat...two drifters off to see the world.

6. Journal

I cannot stress how amazing it is to get everything off your chest in a fashion that won't lead to any unwanted consequences. Clear your mind, friend.

7. Smell the flowers

Or pose with the flowers. Either way. Stop to smell the flowers! Daisies, roses, tulips, whatever flower you love!

8. Go on a walk

Walks are great for clearing your mind. Get some exercise for yourself and your dog (or cat, if that's more you).

9. Cuddle with pet(s)

Even Holly Golightly realized that Cat needed love. You need love, they need love. It's a win-win situation. Cuddles for everyone.

10. Read a book

Again, we all can't be as flawless as Audrey when we're reading. But read read read! Read a children's book, read a poem, read some history.

11. Drink tea

Or coffee. Or hot chocolate. Whatever hot drink will warm your insides. I love drinking warm things on a cold day.

12. Exercise

Even if it's just that walk with your cat around the block, exercise is exercise.

I think it also goes without saying that you should try your best to eat and drink plenty of water regularly. Moreover, if you're taking medication, please always, always take that because recently I had the mindset of "I'm doing so well! I don't need my medication!"

But withdrawals are very real, so please take care of yourself always. I find it so extremely important to take care of myself because although my motivation may lack, I always end up thanking myself after taking care of myself.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
