Today, amidst our hectic social media influenced lives, I see the idea of "self-care" becoming more of a trend than what it should be—a necessity that is apart of your daily routine!

Think about it this way:

Self-care, aka caring about yourself.

"Anjika, isn't that something we all do anyway? In fact, its the only thing some people do."

Take me as an example. Anjika, college student,19 - loving life and the way things are going. At one point, I too thought:

"Self-care? I'm already caring for myself. I mean, I treat myself to good food occasionally and I sometimes write in my journal."

But is that all there is to self-care? No. Aren't humans such a weird species? When we want to show the love in our hearts-we show it to others by being kind, and helpful-but then what about our own selves? What about taking out some time for yourself? What about spoiling yourself occasionally with Chinese takeout? What about letting yourself relax without that feeling of constant productivity guilt?

All I'm saying is before you set out on this mission to save people and heal them, you should be saving and healing yourself!

Here are a few self-care tips to incorporate into your daily routine:

These are the few things I do to practice some self-care. The sooner all of us realize that it is ABSOLUTELY okay to pamper yourself, the easier it will be for us to stay in our highest power and achieve ALL that we possibly can.
