If you’re anything like me, you have had those days and weeks where it’s so hard to shake the mood that you’re in.
Lately, my thoughts have been all over the place with just life.
And contradictory to a lot of people Christians have tough days just like everyone else.
I’m usually always in a good mood, but other days, I’m pleading to God for strength.
I do not have it all together ( my chipped toenail polish will contest that statement, lol), so I wanted to put together a list of the top self-care when you’re having a tough day.
SideNote: It is healthy to mention that it is perfectly fine to have days where all you want to do is watch Netflix and eat ice cream.
Hey! It’s no shame in my game, lol.
So don’t feel embarrassed if that’s your idea of self care whe you’re having a tough day.
So here is 15 Simple Self Care Ideas For Tough Days.
15 Simple Self Care Ideas For Tough Days
1.Schedule alone uninterrupted time with God and pour out your heart. Tell him what’s bothering you, what’s making you overwhelmed or stressed? After you speak, sit and allow God to speak!
2. Journal: Whenever I am having a tough day, I always journal, whether in my notes in my phone or an actual journal. I journal everything.
When journaling sits with your feet on the floor, listen to background noise, and write. This helps you to relax. Always try to loosen up your shoulders and breathe while you’re writing.⠀
3. Mediate Upon God “ Jesus, I ask for your peace,” “ Jesus, lead me beside quiet streams of water and restore my soul.” ⠀
4. Rest & Unplug: I love taking naps! Sleeping does wonders! haha.
Pull away from social media and the chaos of the world and just unplug and love on yourself.
