January buzzes with inspiration for getting after your goals in the new year. Consider this your friendly reminder to include space for self-care. Think of it as the foundation that keeps you balanced, reduces stress and improves your overall well-being.
To get you started, here are some simple daily, weekly and monthly ideas to sprinkle self-care into your schedule. And, of course, we’ve added our own fragrant spin.
Daily self-care
These small habits can have a big impact.
- Stretch it out. Begin your day with a morning stretch routine and an energizing citrus scent.
- This is an easy one: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
- Treat your hands to mini spa experience. A little Hand Cream delivers luxurious moisture to winter-dry skin.
- Reach for a nutritious snack for your mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
- Wash your worries away with Body Wash in a soft, floral scent like our ever-popular Luna.
Weekly self-care
Think of these as little resets to keep your week going smoothly.
- Create a spa moment with a new Scentsy Oil. A few drops in your Diffuser can help you relax and refresh.
- A clean space = a clear mind. Dedicate 30 minutes each week to declutter.
- Disconnect with a phone-free morning or evening. You’ll feel better after some intentional time spent reading, journaling or talking to family without distractions.
- Save yourself from dinnertime stress by spending a weekend afternoon meal prepping.
- Go on a leisurely walk and let nature give you a natural mood boost.
- Ever feel like you can’t hear yourself think? Schedule some alone time with a cup of herbal tea and spritz of a relaxing scented Room Spray. We recommend French Lavender or Cozy Cardigan.
Monthly self-care
Mix things up during the month with bigger, feel-good moments.
- Try something new! Give yourself permission to take that pottery class or painting session and get the creative juices flowing.
- Plan time to reflect on your goals, celebrate wins and recalibrate if needed.
- Embrace a fragrance refresh and try a different fragrance each month. If you need inspiration, check out the Scent of the Month to keep things interesting.
- Experiment in the kitchen with a new recipe. It could become your next favorite!
- Visit somewhere new in your community. Exploring a scenic spot or trying a new restaurant gives you a little something to look forward to during the month.
When it comes to self-care, here’s a secret: You don’t have to do it all! Pick one or two things you can reasonably carve out space to fit into your day. We know you can take a few minutes from your social scroll time to have a glass of water and do a few stretches.
Start small, stay consistent, and the benefits will add up. You’re worth the time and effort!
