Rest and Rejuvenation Day 22: Self Care To Implement In 2021

Topic of the Day: 
Getting better with self care 

I already talked about how little I implemented self-care in 2020. I feel as though 2020 should have been the year where I’ve made self-care a priority but that did not happen. I definitely want to change that in 2021. I created this list of self care I want to implement this year. Some of them might be a little more abstract and will not make as much sense, but they are things that I needed in my life. 

Be kind to myself 


This probably makes no sense as a form of self care but I can’t remember the last time I was so hard on myself than 2020. Even though there was a whole pandemic going on that I was not responsible for, I remember getting so upset with myself for the things that happened. I remember how upset I got because I lost my job and how angry I got after I got stuck in the US. I really didn’t allow myself a moment to understand the fact that I could only control so much. 

Give myself a physical break once a week 


I came to realize in the past couple of years that if I don’t physically give myself a break, I will quite literally had a breakdown about it. I am a true Aries in the sense that I am always going, going, going, and going so taking a moment to breathe and relax is so important. 

Make up 

This sounds ridiculous, I know, but as someone who loves make up, I definitely don’t practice as much as I should. Make up is just so much fun and I love to get lost in crating new looks. 

Watch whatever 

I love to watch shows and movies to get away from the real world, but sometimes I give myself a lot of grief about the things I watch. For example, sometimes I watch the same movie over and over again. The idea that I’m wasting my time often comes up, but I need to remove myself from that. 

Sleep 

I need seven to eight hours of sleep to have a good day–I know this is a very general number–but sometimes I don’t always sleep. My normal sleep cycle wakes me up after I’m completely rested so it’s always a good idea to give myself this time. 


And these are the forms of self care I want to implement this year. Some of them are a lot more serious and others are a lot more fun. That’s a mix that I want in 2021.

One of my personal intentions for 2023 was to work One of my personal intentions for 2023 was to work on using affirmations more in my daily life. They’ve helped me calm myself down during anxious moments and moments of low self esteem. I have definitely noticed a shift in my self image by repeating affirmations often. 

That’s why I’ve decided that every month I’ll share affirmations I’m trying to embody!

Hi! My name is Akchita and I’m the creator behin Hi! My name is Akchita and I’m the creator behind this account! This isn’t how I thought I’d introduce myself, but keeping up with this account has already proven to be difficult.

It hasn’t been difficult because I don’t know what to post or I haven’t gotten the graphics made. No, it’s been difficult because I can’t get out of my own head. 

I keep thinking that trying to create content isn’t the best idea for me. I keek thinking that I’m not good at this even though I’ve barely tried. 

So, this post is me trying to get out of my head! It’s a commitment I’m making to myself and to you that I won’t give up trying!
