Self-care Routine: Spring time and love is in the air! It's time to express your love to the most important and special person in your life--YOU!! Yes, you heard us right—Valentine's Day or any other day, you are the first person that deserves your love and care. And no, practicing self-love is not being selfish. It is a great way to discover, understand and connect with yourself to achieve inner peace and outer glow.
How to Practice Self-Care Routine and Self-Love Daily?
STEP 1: ME-TIME (60 -120 minutes) for an inside out radiance. Set aside some quality 'me-time' as part of your self care daily routine. Start your day with positive affirmations. Declutter your mind of all negative thoughts and embrace yourself wholeheartedly with all your strengths and weaknesses. Be kind to yourself and say no to comparisons and self-judgement. Meditate, exercise, take a relaxing warm water shower or a bubble bath, listen to soothing music, spend time on a hobby that you love, curl up with your favourite book and a cup of coffee or take a power nap ---Just do what makes you happy! And remember to learn something new everyday and challenge yourself. It helps you feel productive, develop a sense of self-worth, and to stay in “Flow”, which is one of the most important steps to happiness.
STEP 2: YOU-TIME (30-60 minutes) for positive vibes from all around. Spend quality time with those "other people" who you really enjoy talking to or being with. Those who help you find your meaning and purpose in life. Those who love you for who you are. Those who make you feel good from inside. Those who bring a smile to your face and brighten your day. Spend time with those whom you help and bring joy to. The act of giving releases happy hormones in us. Because what goes around, comes around, whether its a bad penny or good karma!!
STEP 3: I-ROUTINE TIME (2-30 minutes) for the outside in glow. Follow a minimum daily 2-minute "I-routine" to rejuvenate, nourish and pamper your skin and body. With more time, you can indulge in a longer, or you can get the benefits of a luxurious spa-like treatment at home with 100% pure and natural Parama Naturals' products in just 2 minutes.
