For targeted individuals, you will no doubt have had another challenging week. That's why it's important to get into a habit of taking care of yourself and making sure you practice self-compassion, self-care, self-love.
We've already added some books on our Useful Resources List about practising self-care. If you haven't already started on your self-care wellness journey then make a start today on the most relaxing day of the week - a Sunday.
Start setting Sundays aside to practise your elements of self-care. Doing this every Sunday will develop a good and positive habit that will then start to overspill into other days of the week. Self-care will become something good that you will begin to perform regularly throughout the week. Self-care will relax you, calm you, will build your self-esteem and will bring you a positive mindset.
We've listed some ideas below to get you started today on Sunday - the day of relaxation.
