    • Values Check-In – ask weekly: “Am I living in integrity with what matters most?”

    Focus: Strengthening energy, health, and presence. Do this by:

    Sleep Ritual – commit to winding down by 10:30 p.m. with gentle music, herbal tea, or journaling.

    Movement You Enjoy – dancing, walking, stretching—done with joy, not guilt.

    Blood Sugar Balance – small, steady meals rich in protein and fibre to stabilize energy.

    Hydration Habit – start the day with your favourite drink in the morning.

  • Mind-Based Self-Care (Mental Clarity & Calm):

    Focus: Creating mental spaciousness in the midst of responsibility. Do this by:

    Digital Boundaries – no phone for the first or last 30 minutes of the day.

    Focus Blocks – dedicate 90-minute windows for deep work, then rest.

    Brain Dump & Release – write down worries at night to clear your mind.

    Self-Compassion Practice – notice critical self-talk, then reframe with kindness.

  • Creative & Spiritual Self-Care (Joy & Renewal):

    Reconnecting with purpose, beauty, and God’s grace. Do this by:

    Creative Expression – journaling, singing, gardening, or decorating your space or something you enjoy doing.

    • Sabbath or Sacred Pause – one day (or half-day) each week for rest and renewal.

    • Affirmations of Grace – Have or create your favourite affirmations to repeat at specific or set times, e.g.: “I am worthy of rest and joy.”

    • Acts of Service – give from overflow, not obligation.

  • Relational Self-Care (Connection & Belonging):

    Focus: Nurturing supportive relationships without overextending. Do this by:

    Nourishing Conversations – schedule a weekly call or coffee with a friend who uplifts you.

    Boundaries with Grace – learn to say “not now” or “let me think about that.”

    Ask for Help – delegate at home and work; receiving is part of self-care.

    Family Presence Moments – phone-free time during meals or bedtime rituals.
