After a long harsh day, where maybe you felt a range of emotions- and maybe some of them were negative, the best thing you can do is return to yourself. Take comfort in yourself, soothe yourself, show up for yourself. Be your own best friend.
First of all, a self care night means actually giving yourself love. Actually taking the time to do what makes you happy and loved and appreciated. People often think that to feel loved and appreciated you need other people to make you feel that way??? That’s so wrong! Why would you put how you feel and your emotions in the hands of others when you could so easily give it to yourself?
So get the space all cozy and comfy with blankets and pillows because this night is the YOU night!
So the number one step to making you feel loved on your self care night is to learn your love languages and try to add in something for each love language. The 5 main love languages:
Physical touch
Words of affirmation
Acts of service
Quality time
Gift giving
Here’s a list of things you can do to give yourself love in each way:
Movies/shows you can watch:
Wizards of Oz
Gilmore girls
Bridgerton
Legally blonde
Mamma Mia
Any old Disney movies <3
Barbie!
Food & drinks:
Freshly baked cookies
Mini cake
Hot chocolate
Tea & biscuit
Ice cream
Self loving activities you can so by yourself!
Make sure to look at the list above for the love languages and do one from your top love language! Here are some more ideas to spend time with yourself and have a great time.
Journal
Paint rocks / canvas/ water color
Draw/ sketch your dream dresses

DANCE! Some songs that are so danceable that you WILL get up and dance: 22, like a girl (old song😭😂) freak the freak out, dance the night (Barbie ofc)
Hope this helped you with your epic self care night and to also realise that you don’t need others to have an amazing time!

“stop abusing yourself by being the same person that you don’t like”
Repeat after me:
I already have anything I want!
I'm grateful for being myself, I always attract blessings into my life.
My life is perfect, I'm fully satisfied and happy for all the things I have.
I am beautiful, caring, compassionate, smart, and abundant.
Everything is exactly how I want it to be.
I have anything I want today, tomorrow, and always!
Carrie Bradshaw
Decide.
Assume/know you have it in imagination.
Persist and know the 3d is a byproduct of your mind.
April is my best month yet!
April is my best month yet!

stop ignoring yourself. fix your posture, get a new hair cut, do your nails, take care of your skin, brush your teeth, drink water, eat foods that give you energy. get strong, stop looking sloppy. when you feel good, you do good. invest in yourself.
