Self care routines
1. Do a guided meditation-
Meditation is an approach to training the mind, similar to the way that fitness is an approach to training the body.
Mindfulness meditation encourages the practitioner to observe wandering thoughts as they drift through the mind. The intention is not to get involved with the thoughts or to judge them, but simply to be aware of each mental note as it arises.
Meditation improves blood circulation, decrease anxiety, and decrease stress.
2. Explore who you are-
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” ―Aristotle
To truly know yourself is the most important skill you can ever possess. When you know who you are, you know what you need to do, instead of looking for permission from others to do what you already know you ought to do. It allows you to bypass tons of frustration caused by putting time into the wrong things. Yes, life is supposed to be full of trial and error, but this lets you find the best areas for you to experiment with in the first place. Once you know yourself, you will become more confident, you will understand your purpose, and you will begin making a bigger impact on the world.

The Benefits of Affirmation
You become aware of your daily thoughts and words, reducing the risk of letting negativity seep in.
You notice more synchronicities in your life, which serves to encourage and motivate you to keep up the practice.
Daily affirmations not only help keep you surrounded by the things you want in your life but they help bring about more blessings and gifts.
A daily practice helps to keep the small things in perspective. In this high-speed world you can easily lose sight of how large the small things really are. When healthy you may forget to think of how much you appreciate it. A simple morning affirmation sentence of “I am healthy” can go a long way.
A recent study shows that optimistic people have healthier hearts, and affirmations help you to stay positive.
As you continue this practice, others take note and you begin to help those around you without even trying. This, in turn, helps keep you focused.
Daily affirmations keep you in a constant state of gratitude.

Things to keep in mind-
Do not stand in the sun between 11 AM and 3:00 PM, because the heat would be intense that can damage your skin.
You can stand in the sun for a minimum of 10 minutes.
If you have a skin tan, this means that your skin has already been damaged.
Ultra-violet radiation is responsible for skin ageing and as a result, you must not stand in the sun for more than 20 minutes daily.
Tanning beds are even dangerous than you can ever think off because this emits 15 times more ultra-violet rays than the sun.
Tanning beds may cause sunburns

22. Practice breathwork
Procedure-
Sit in a chair with your shoulders, head, and neck supported against the back of the chair.
Breathe in through your nose. Let your belly fill with air.
Breathe out through your nose.
Place one hand on your belly. Place the other hand on your chest.
As you breathe in, feel your belly rise. As you breathe out, feel your belly lower. The hand on your belly should move more than the one that's on your chest.
Take three more full, deep breaths. Breathe fully into your belly as it rises and falls with your breath.
Breath Focus
While you do deep breathing, use a picture in your mind and a word or phrase to help you feel more relaxed.
Close your eyes if they're open.
Take a few big, deep breaths.
Breathe in. As you do that, imagine that the air is filled with a sense of peace and calm. Try to feel it throughout your body.
Breathe out. While you're doing it, imagine that the air leaves with your stress and tension.
Now use a word or phrase with your breath. As you breathe in, say in your mind, "I breathe in peace and calm."
As you breathe out, say in your mind, "I breathe out stress and tension."
Continue for 10 to 20 minutes.
