The holidays are filled with stress, lists and last minute gifts. This holiday season, take the time to care for yourself with my 12 Self-Care Days of Christmas guide. Each day, find the time to treat yourself with a small act of self-care.

1

CREATE A MANTRA

Support yourself with words. A belief is just a thought that you keep thinking. Change the script and create your beautiful new reality.

2

light a candle

Setting the mood in your space will set the mood in your mind. Candle light invites calmness - one with a fragrance is an added bonus.

3

take a nap

Take time out of your day to reset.

4

quiet time

Stillness invites change - 10 minutes of checking out in silence can set the foundation for the rest of your day.

5

drink hot tea

Any type of warm beverage can soothe a stressful day - curl up with a cup of chamomile or jasmine tea and slip away.

6

read a book

Romance, mystery or thriller - find a quiet spot and get lost in your favorite story.

7

journal

What makes you happy? Take this time to reflect, renew, and restore.

8

be active

30 minutes of exercise a day is all it takes - visit your fav yoga class, go for a walk, or do some stretches to get the kinks out.

9

gratitude

List 5 things that you are grateful for

10

smile at stranger

What you put out - you get back. Show love to a stranger with a smile.

11

take yourself out

You’re pretty hot - take yourself out on a date - check out a movie.

12

give yourself a gift

Don’t put yourself last on the list - celebrate your existence with something just for you!
