How to spend a ‘me’ day
Sometimes, we all need a bit of ‘me’-time. It’s super important to dedicate time to yourself to check in on your mental health, give yourself a pamper, and have fun. Check out these 15 ideas for how to spend some quality time with yourself.
1.
Do a workout
Exercising releases endorphins, which puts you in a better mood. Whether you like to run, lift
weights, or do yoga, a workout is sure to improve your day.
2.
Shop your wardrobe
Find yourself rewearing the same outfits over and over? It’s always tempting to buy more
clothes, but try shopping your wardrobe instead. Play dress up with rarely-worn pieces, and
you’re sure to find some new outfit options.
3.
Give yourself a facial
Select your favourite products from your beauty kit, and pamper yourself. Put on some relaxing
music and give yourself a step-by-step facial. You could even do a massage if you’re feeling
fancy!
4.
Listen to a podcast
However you want to spend your ‘me’ day, there’s a podcast to match. From meditation, to humour, to advice, to academic discussions, you’re sure to find something to interest you.
5.
Take yourself for lunch
Been desperate to try a new restaurant? Or got somewhere you love to go to already? Head
there for lunch and treat yourself. If you’re nervous to go out alone, take a good book to read.
6.
Write down everything you’re grateful for
Sometimes we need to say thanks for all the good things in our life. Take a bit of time to
consider everything you’re grateful for recently, and keep your list to look at when you’re feeling
down.
7.
Have an ‘everything’ bath or shower
An ‘everything’ bath or shower is exactly what it’s called; you do everything! You could pull out
your best hair products, get a facial cleanser, body scrub, shave, or anything else you think of.
8.
Finally master heatless curls
It seems like everyone is a pro at heatless curls, so if you haven’t tried them yet, why not give
them a go? There are lots of different techniques you can use, so find the one that works for
you.
9.
Put on some music, and dance!
Sometimes, we just have to let everything go and have a good boogie! All you need is your
favourite playlist, and some killer dance moves.
10.
Rewatch your favourite TV show
A bit of nostalgia is good for you. Put on your favourite TV show, you know the one, and binge watch it to your heart’s content.
11.
Watch a classic movie
For even more nostalgia, put on a classic movie. For the full experience, line up your favourite
snacks and put on some mood lighting.
12.
Practise makeup looks
Got a crazy makeup idea you want to try out? Or a technique you want to master? Now’s your
opportunity. Try as many different looks as you want, and maybe you’ll find your new signature
makeup.
13.
Cook or bake something delicious
Good food puts you in a good mood! A ‘me’ day gives you a bit more time to dedicate to cooking or baking your favourite things, so make the most of it.
14.
Learn how to make your favourite cocktail
A ‘me’ day is the perfect time to learn a new skill, like cocktail making. Once you master your
favourite cocktail, you can recreate it for parties, occasions, or just as a treat.
15.
Go shopping
Whether you like high end fashion, books, food, home or charity shops, it’s always fun to have a shopping spree. You could also try window-shopping for future inspiration.
However you want to spend your ‘me’ day, there’s a podcast to match. From meditation, to
humour, to advice, to academic discussions, you’re sure to find something to interest you.
