3 Tips on How to Practice Self Care Without Feeling the Guilt


After a year of implementing the self care strategy taught in the How to Elevate Your Self Care Beauty Routine online course for a year here is what I learned:

If it's not scheduled then it's not real!

Implementing a gold star day once a month, putting it in my day planner and adding a literal gold star was the key to a regular routine of self care.

Now, here’s the thing….anytime we block out a large chunk of time for ourselves it may come with a running narrative in our minds and it may sound something like this: “I don’t have time to do this” “I should be checking something off my to do list” “what will my family think?”

However, this is what I found: by having it scheduled on the calendar and informing my hubby in advance that it was coming up elicited his full support. He would go out of his way to make the day quiet and peaceful and conducive to self care. While I felt guilt he provided his acceptance and full support!

How can Self Care Support Your Well Being?

So, here we are a year later and I can honestly say that I cherish my gold star days! I feel pampered, renewed and recharged to continue caring for others. Y'all know we can’t take care of others if we can’t take care of ourselves. Right?

Where to start with Self Care

I highly encourage you to pull out your calendar and schedule your 12 gold star days now!
You won’t regret it!

Here are some tips:

Schedule it on the last weekend of the month. That way you’re sure to prioritize what's most important to you during the first part of the month. AKA no guilt!

Now that it’s on your calendar, make some appointments on repeat. Scheduling in advance makes it more likely to secure your favorite professional.

  • I love to have a massage therapist come to my home. I’ve successfully used Zeel!
  • Schedule your hair appointment for that day.
  • Schedule a mani/pedi
