It can mean different things to different people. The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> dictionary.com<\/a> defines self-care as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The practice of taking action to preserve or improve one\u2019s own health<\/li><li>The practice of taking an active role in protecting one\u2019s own well-being and happiness, in particular during times of stress<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think taking time for yourself on a regular basis is important. It keeps you refreshed and able to tackle the difficult things that come your way. For me, I decompress when spending time with the chickens. Sometimes, it\u2019s just 20 minutes at lunch. Other times, I\u2019ll spend an hour outside in the evenings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, I had the whole day to myself. The Bearded Rooster was working and my little Chicky was traveling with her best friend.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

Today was about me and not scrolling through other people\u2019s lives and it definitely wasn\u2019t about working.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Candles<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; I lit several candles and kept the lights to a minimum. There is just something relaxing about the flickering light and aromatherapy. I have a stress free candle that\u2019s my go-to when I need to destress.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bath and a Beer<\/strong> &#8211; no one was home and demanding my attention so I took a long bath and drank a beer. The bath was hot and the beer cold. Need I say more!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DIY Pedicure<\/strong> &#8211; Only on special occasions (birthday or a holiday) do I actually go to the nail salon. This was something I cut out of my budget last year. So while in the bath, I scrubbed my heels and shaved my legs. I added more aromatherapy with the shaving cream. Then I <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3jic8dy\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">DIY my own pedicure<\/a>. Another great option would be a bath balm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read a book<\/strong> &#8211; I got my favorite cup of tea and started reading a book. After an hour, I put it down and made some lunch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.comwp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/self-care-book-1-1024x683.jpg?resize=437%2C292&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"reading a book to relax and promote self-care\" class=\"wp-image-3240\" width=\"437\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/self-care-book-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/self-care-book-1-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/self-care-book-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/self-care-book-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/self-care-book-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/self-care-book-1-scaled.jpg?w=2310&amp;ssl=1 2310w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sit with the chickens<\/strong> &#8211; I took my lunch outside and sat with the chickens (and truth be told, I had another beer). If you have backyard chickens, you know how relaxing it can be to just sit with them. I sat in my lawn chair with a little sun on my face and the girls were pecking all around me making their chicken noises.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sitting outside is a great picker upper. <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/food-recipes\/features\/vitamin-d-vital-role-in-your-health#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vitamin D<\/a> has many health benefits, including lowering blood pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Movie&nbsp;<\/strong> &#8211; I watched two movies!! Yes, two!! One of the movies was <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2CNTJVm\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book Club<\/a>. For a woman my age, it was absolutely hysterical. I laughed out loud several times and didn\u2019t realize how much I needed that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t do any chores. This day was all about me. Now, this is an unusual treat and not something I get to do very often. However if I find I have the entire day to myself, I fit as many of these things in as possible and I don\u2019t feel guilty about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What else can you do to promote self-care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exercise<\/strong> &#8211; great way to get your endorphins going<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Relaxation<\/strong> &#8211; sometimes I just lay on the floor with the lights dimmed on my yoga mat and take deep breaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eat healthy<\/strong> &#8211; I always feel better when I\u2019m not eating a bunch of junk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do something that brings you joy<\/strong> &#8211; do you remember what joy is? For a while, I had forgotten what <a href=\"https:\/\/chikchikchicken.comindex.php\/2018\/12\/27\/live-the-simple-life-finding-joy\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brought me joy<\/a>. My advice is to find it and do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Don\u2019t commit to things that you don\u2019t like or don\u2019t want to do.<\/strong> Right?! How many times do we feel obligated to do something? It\u2019s okay to say no.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed, it\u2019s okay to take some time for yourself. Take a walk or go for a drive. Leave the kids with a Grandparent. Right now it\u2019s even more difficult with social distancing but do something that you\u2019re comfortable with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All those other things on your to-do list can wait. Or better yet, enlist some help, get someone else to pick up the toys, or load the dishwasher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m a big believer that if you don\u2019t take care of yourself,&nbsp; you can\u2019t take care of anyone else. Just remember, you are not in this alone. Take advantage of a few moments here and there.&nbsp;Self-care really is important. <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"likebtn_container\" style=\"\"><!-- LikeBtn.com BEGIN --><span class=\"likebtn-wrapper\"  data-identifier=\"post_3234\"  data-site_id=\"5bf2c84f6fd08bf47c728639\"  data-theme=\"disk\"  data-show_dislike_label=\"true\"  data-counter_type=\"subtract_dislikes\"  data-style=\"\"  data-unlike_allowed=\"\"  data-show_copyright=\"\"  data-item_url=\"https:\/\/chikchikchicken.com\/index.php\/2020\/07\/21\/self-care-the-perfect-day\/\"  data-item_title=\"Self-Care ~ The Perfect Day\"  data-item_image=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/self-care-scaled.jpg?fit=770%2C514&amp;ssl=1\"  data-item_date=\"2020-07-21T09:00:00-05:00\"  data-engine=\"WordPress\"  data-plugin_v=\"2.6.54\"  data-prx=\"https:\/\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=likebtn_prx\"  data-event_handler=\"likebtn_eh\" ><\/span><!-- LikeBtn.com END --><\/div><p>I hear the term self-care a lot but what is it really.
