We all have those weeks. You know the ones I'm talking about, the weeks where it's already been the longest of your life and it's only monday... yeah those.
When you get to the end of a long stressful week, the best thing you can do is participate in some relaxing self care techniques!
It's the best way to de-stress and treat yourself at the same time. Here are a couple of my personal favorite things to do.
Workout
For me personally, working out is one of the best ways to de-stress. I recently joined a local kickboxing organization, and I'm in love with it! I would definitely recommend doing some research and finding out what kind of fitness environment you enjoy being in and getting involved in something!
Cook a Healthy Meal
Sometimes when we have a tough week, we can fall off the wagon with our diets. I really like to come home and cook a delicious healthy meal for myself to kind of get myself back on track and feel better in general as well.
Clean Your Room
Cleaning always puts me in a better mood. There's something about crawling into bed with fresh sheets in a clean room with a candle burning, that is just magical.
Take a Bubble Bath
Dim the lights, light a candle, and add some bubbles. Paired with a face mask and a glass of wine, can it get any better?!
Call a Friend or Family Member
When all else fails, call mom! Or whoever your go to person is when you are feeling down. Especially if you're in school, or living away from home, sometimes a phone call with someone you love and miss can make all the difference.
Those are just a few of the things I like to do at the end of a stressful week. Always remember that it will get better and everyone has those weeks! Keep your head up and practice some self care!
