25 Amazing Ways to Pour Back Into Yourself


We're living in pretty stressful times. I've comprised a list of 25 ways to pour back into yourself that can help you administer self-care.

We’ve all heard the term self-care and many of us like to think that we are good at it. We read the memes and countless articles and blog posts about the importance of taking care of oneself on a deeper level. If self-care is the what when it comes to nurturing yourself, then pouring back into yourself is the how.

The how is the part that gets many of us stuck.

I thought I would write a blog post addressing the importance of filling your proverbial cup by giving you ideas or prompts on how to do so. With my 25 Ways To Pour Back Into Yourself, you will learn:

  • prompts to help you come up with ideas for your self-care regimen.
  • encouraging activities that may help with anxiety or stress.
  • how to carve out time for YOU

Here’s my list:

Meditate

The art of meditating means ‘to think deeply or focus one’s mind for a period of time, in silence or with the aid of chanting, for religious or spiritual purposes or as a method of relaxation’. It can help calm and soothe you while allowing you to be present and in the moment.

Journal

I’ve been journaling since I can remember, and it has helped me express my thoughts and feelings, while sometimes getting out things that I am not comfortable sharing with others.

Home Spa Day

During the pandemic, I learned that having a home spa day can be just as good as going to one. You can set the mood the way you’d like while enjoying your own safe space. Light candles, use aromatherapy, oils, whatever your pleasure.

We're living in pretty stressful times. I've comprised a list of 25 ways to pour back into yourself that can help you administer self-care.

You can give yourself a mani or a pedi, wash your hair or use a foot bath for a massage.

Make a playlist

Music can heal as well as help you pour back into yourself. Make a playlist of songs that relax you and make you feel safe and secure.

Downtime

You can also just do nothing. Enjoy some downtime away from the world outside to get in touch with yourself.

Do something you love

If you love it (and it’s safe and doesn’t cause any harm) do it!

Float

Floating is a wellness experience for your mind, body, & soul where you float effortlessly on top of high density salt water in a supported environment. In my instance, you are in a pod with subdued light and music as you float weightlessly. While doing so, everything is tuned out. The world, your problems, negativity, and even physical ailments.

Spring is full of all sorts of wonderful possibilities. Don't forget to take care of yourself. Take in these self-care ideas for April.

Most major cities have at least one floating center, and it can be inexpensive to try. You can even look on Groupon for deals.

Take a class

Learning something new isn’t only good for you, but can help you grow as a person. Take a cooking or art class. Want to learn coding? There’s a class for that too.

Calm app

I am a HUGE fan of the Calm app, so much so that I wrote about it HERE. Tune in and tune out and let the Daily Calm help you through your day.

Talk to a friend

Sometimes a good chat with a close friend is what’s needed.

Take a bath

I love a good bath–luxuriating in bubbles with my Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath with music planning (or with a good book) is stuff dreams are made of.

We're living in pretty stressful times. I've comprised a list of 25 ways to pour back into yourself that can help you administer self-care.

Splurge

It’s okay to splurge every now and then. If you are able to (without going into debt or having buyer’s remorse), buy something that’s just for you. Something that you’ve wanted or saved for.

Write a letter to yourself

Writing a letter to yourself may sound a little strange, but believe me, it’s a great way to pour back into yourself. Write a letter to yourself, either forgiving yourself for something, or reaffirming a belief or thought and place it in an envelope. Don’t open it write away, and during a time where you may need some motivation, open up your letter and read it.

Workout

I am not a fan of working out, but I can tell you each time I do, I feel better afterwards. Do as little or as much as you can. It can be walking around your neighborhood, stepping on the treadmill, or even lifting weights. Whatever you select, your endorphins will thank you later.

Take a walk

Speaking of working out, taking a walk is a great way to pour into yourself. Get out and get some vitamin D and enjoy the weather when you can.

Nap

A good nap is always a good idea.

Buy yourself flowers

If you are into flowers, you don’t have to wait for someone to get them for you. Buy them for yourself. Trader Joes is my go-to when it comes to getting bouquets of flowers on the low-low.

Travel solo

Traveling solo is one of my preferred self-care methods, and before Covid, I used to do it regularly. Now that we are back “outside”, I plan on scheduling a solocation soon. (Now, if these airfare prices would just go down)

Aromatherapy

According to Healthline, aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being. Sometimes it’s called essential oil therapy. Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils medicinally to improve the health of the body, mind, and spirit. It enhances both physical and emotional health.

We're living in pretty stressful times. I've comprised a list of 25 ways to pour back into yourself that can help you administer self-care.

I use aromatherapy with the use of essential oils and a diffuser helps to freshen the air while keeping the scent in the air.

Get a massage

The benefits of massage include reducing stress and increasing relaxation, reducing pain and muscle soreness and tension, improving circulation, energy and alertness, lowering heart rate and blood pressure, and improving immune function.

Get your hair done

This is one of the best ways to pour back into yourself–it makes you feel good and gives you an extra pep in your step.

DND

Put your phone and other devices on DND and zen out.

Hit the beach

According to experts, Beach Brain is a good thing. Read this article for more information.

Purge your closet

Getting rid of unwanted items and clutter helps clear the way for organization and less chaos.

Crystals

Did you know that some people (I’m some) believe that crystals hold healing power and has some physical and mental benefits? Read this Crystal 101.

I challenge you to pick at least three to five things on this list, and make doing them a priority over the next fifteen days. Add the selected activities to your calendar with a scheduled day and time to make sure that they get done.

What are some ways that your pour back into yourself? Let me know.

Save for later

    Love this! I love to turn on music and dance, get outside to the mountains/woods or take a drive when I need to pour back into myself.
