Try a new workout class or exercise routine to keep things fresh.

Schedule a massage or a stretching session to release tension.

Nurturing your emotional health helps you handle life’s ups and downs. Emotional self-care can include anything that lets you connect with or express your feelings.

Examples:

Journal about your thoughts and emotions to get them out of your head.

Watch a feel-good movie or listen to music that uplifts your spirits.

Practice self-compassion by speaking kindly to yourself, especially during challenging times.

Examples:

Try painting, drawing, or doodling—no experience required.

Start a DIY project at home, like organizing your space or redecorating a small area.

Write something, whether it’s a short story, a blog post, or even just a few fun thoughts.
