SELF CARE DAY FOR LOW ENERGY DAYS

it’s important to have different routines ready to match your mood and energy level. which is why I believe preparing for self care days for when you’re just not feeling your best is essential and a great way to look out for yourself. here’s my guide to self care days for low energy.

✧ 𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓

despite your low energy, it’s important you still get your daily movement. however, exercise doesn’t always have to be intense.

try doing one of these

— 2 minutes of touching/trying to touch your toes

— 5-7 minutes of full body stretching

— 10 minutes of yoga

or maybe just stretch your neck, roll your shoulders, and take a few deep breaths. whatever you’re ready to do :)

links to short low energy workouts:

5 minute morning yoga

11 minute stress relief yoga

10 minute lazy girl workout

8 minute good morning pilates

✧𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃

do something for your mind. journal, get your thoughts out, meditate, read five pages of an inspiring book. do something that you will love and that your mind will thank you for. whether it’s sitting in silence for a few minutes or playing a game that’ll challenge your brain.

journaling prompts <3

++ what’s been draining your energy recently?

++ what’s been giving you positive energy recently?

++ what’s your focus been on lately?

++ what are three things you’re happy are in your life?

++ how is my environment impacting my energy?

if your energy is low I really recommend writing about it. what’s making you tired? reflect on it and go easy on yourself.

✧𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓

the last thing you want to do is give your mind the responsibility of remembering your tasks. i don’t care how little you have on your schedule, write a to do list. on a low energy day, it’s important we’re easy on ourselves. getting everything out of our head and onto a piece of paper will not only make tasks seem more manageable but will also make our minds feel a bit lighter.

write everything. I mean it. even the small and seemingly insignificant tasks. even the parts of your routine that you do everyday anyways, write it all down.

✧𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒

even though we’re a little bit down, that doesn’t mean we can cheat on the promises and boundaries we made with ourselves.

a low energy day doesn’t mean you can jump right back into your old habits. you’ll only feel worse if you do. it can be comforting to spend the whole day in bed, liking relatable TikToks and having a 7 hour screen time. but that’s not real rest. do something that’ll nourish you while also making you feel relaxed and comfortable. whether that’s watching an episode of your comfort show, rereading a chapter of your favorite book, or listening to your all time favorite songs while you just relax.

low energy is not a reason to practice unhealthy bad habits.

✧𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐘

dick definitely forces the batfam to indulge in a once-a-month self care night; complete with face masks, cucumber water, and meditative music

it's time to get cozy! 🥰 i made a plan last night. late last night. i never make good plans when sleepy. but i was feeling unprepared for my three-week break, which i want to be productive but also more balanced and cozy and calm and just...i just want to be at peace for once 😅 SO! new plan! it's a slow self-care day today! bc my brain and body need to recoup. especially after sleeping so late last night 🥺

physio 💪🏻 ✅

clean/clear night table, desk, & piano top ✅ (so dusty 🤧)

start rearranging closet ❄️ ✅

fresh air ✅

change bedding ✅

journal (i.e. brain dump and figure out what goals i actually want to keep for next year, which ones are priority, and when to start working on them bc i can't do everything all at once. know thyself: don't overplan!!! 😅) ✅ (it continues tomorrow)

it’s a stormy morning this friday the 13th. time to stay in bed watching scary movies all day 👻

reminder that it's okay to take time off work if you're too exhausted. you won't be able to do much anyway when you're that tired or sick, and by pushing yourself too much, it gets harder and harder. not only do you need time to rest, you deserve it. you come first. you have nothing to feel guilty about. 🌹🌹

My months of rest and relaxation // day 79

Today turned out to be a self care day. I had a bit of an emotional breakdown in the morning and I needed to just focus on myself and things that could help. I don't want to be that person that lies and says everything is always fine, there's some stuff I have to work on personally and that finally hit me and it's alright. I am very tired still not doing my best but I am happy I am starting to let go of things and not bottling things up, because that would be a big problem. I had a big ol' cry in the morning and although it left me exhausted I needed that and I am grateful I managed to get a bit of these bad feelings out. I decided to ask my therapist to aticipate our monthly session in order to work on this stuff as it's still "fresh". I layed a while on my bed because I got a terrible headache, but then I took a long warm shower to relax, I changed my clothes and ate something. In the afternoon I drank lots of tea because it's a simple thing that makes me feel better, I decided to just chill and rewatch a movie to turn my brain off and rest as much as I could. Later I might work on my crochet project or read, depending on my energy levels, and in these next few days I will try to take better care of myself and work on all this stuff.
