11 Meaningful Self-Care Moments To Try Right Now

Nothing beats perusing the aisle of your favorite book store. Pack a snack, grab a latte and make it a day surrounded by great literature of all genres. Pick up a few great reads that stimulate your mind to last all throughout the fall.

On a early weekend morning, head out to your local farmer’s market or community garden. Pick out a few blooms that make you smile and build your very own bouquet. The small treat will be something to put a smile on your face with each glance during the week and it’ll totally be worth it.

Girl, no one knows you better than you so pack up a picnic and take yourself out on date! Hit your local park on a beautiful afternoon, take a great book or an assortment of your favorite magazines and just enjoy.

Everyone needs and wants a little TLC and a day spent pampering yourself is always the right idea.

Getting your exercise on will always increase your mood!

There is nothing like the fresh summer breeze on a nice day blowing across your face. Hang out on a local bench and enjoy the warm air! Put in your headphones on a playlist that perfectly reflects your mood and just zone out.

Ending the summer on a high note, master the art of a great meal. Go to a cooking class and learn how to make a meal just for 1 and save the recipe for the days you want to indulge in something nice.

Fill up the gas tank and hit the road! Turn on your favorite tunes, talk to yourself (or a high power) and come up with a master plan. You never know where that drive on the open road could take you–literally and figuratively!

Didn’t bask in the summer vibe as much as you wanted to? Book a weekend stay at a local hotel and indulge in the amenities. Dine in the restaurant, enjoy a spa package, sip on a cocktail poolside. Who says you have to leave your city to have a vacation to remember?

Some may call it weird but heading out to the matinee all alone is always a solid plan.

Get those endorphins flowing by taking a stroll through your local neighborhood or park. Track how far you walk and congratulate yourself with each and every step!
