Self-care routines are a non-negotiable must.

Are we giving ourselves enough attention?

As the weekend is finally approaching, we go back to the usual question. How are we going to spend our free time? Don't get me wrong, I am quite aware that the term "free time" is nothing but an illusion. I am talking about those of you out there who have great responsibilities outside work that need to be taken care of throughout those office-free days. I understand that long and enduring self-care routines are not particularly realistic in every case, and that getting to reserve a space and time to treat yourself can sometimes feel like a true luxury. It is literally very expensive. Whether you reserve a spot at the local spa or try to do it on your own by getting some skin care products and a good bottle of wine, it can very much turn into a pricey investment.

That said, here's my unsolicited advice: don't give it up on your spa day. Whatever happens in the world, whatever responsibilities you have, and whatever challenges might be coming your way this weekend, be sure to put 5 minutes of your time aside and use it on yourself. I'm talking about a floral candle, a fruity face mask, and some soft music in the background; that's all it takes to give yourself a little space to recover from the tribes and tribulations of a stressful week.

We’ve more than established that Mondays are hard. They feel heavy, and your energy level is close to the floor, especially in the early parts of the back-to-work journey. That is exactly why you need to take some self-care time this weekend and start making those dreadful Monday mornings a lot more gentle and passing.
And, if you feel like you can go all out every now and then, please do. Get that spa reservation, book that massage, throw in a pedi-mani combo, and you’ll be set to have a very wholesome experience. Like I said, I know these types of activities can be a little expensive, so throw some very clear hints to the people in your life as your birthday starts to get closer.

Picture this: the sound of running water echoes in an empty room, mixing only with a soft meditation melody. You are wearing your favorite swimming suit, while a nice lady just massaged a lychee-scented hair treatment into your hair. You take a couple of steps into the jacuzzi, as you feel the warm bubbles around you getting stronger. As you submerge into complete peace, you start to fall asleep. Another lady brings you a glass of your favorite wine and a small cheese platter. Not a word to be heard. No chores, no responsibilities, no deadlines. Just pure and delightful comfort. Your shoulders have never felt this relaxed.
Tell me this is not exactly what you need to recharge and start the week fresh. Take this collection of memes as a reminder to treat yourself now and then, because your own well-being has to be a constant priority in your life.
