Hello everyone and welcome to another new blog for today. I just designed 30 Self-Care Prompts for you to reclaim peace and boost happiness. I’m gonna explain it to you now why I did it. So, have you experienced a feeling every now and then about slowing down a little bit? Or maybe to reconnect yourself and allow yourself to be showered in love in your daily life? Yes, I know and trust me you are not alone in those feelings. Many of us do, cuz we are often so much busy in our life and its demands that we often forget to look after ourselves. Self-care and activities to boost happiness and cultivate peace in us is not a luxurious thing, rather I believe it is the most essential thing to do. It helps to nurture the best version of yourself.

Therefore, I have written the following 30 Self-Care Prompts guide for you to follow and achieve the fruits of it.

1. What Are You Grateful for Today?

Firstly, take a deep breath and bring your focus on the small things around you which bring a lot of joy to you. My suggestion is you write them down in a notebook or something. Then think thoroughly and write them down. Those small things could be a cup of coffee in the morning or a text message from your loved one, or meeting someone, or spending time in some places, or even a comfortable evening couch. Gratitude is the key to happiness and positive life changing experiences. After having continuous gratitude practice, you will feel the difference in your mindset and outlook towards you and the outside world. You will be able to feel the magical experience in life.

And nevertheless, gratitude has a solid impact on mental health which helps to reduce stress and helps to get out of depression. After cultivating this habit, you will be reprogramming your brain to look at the positive things even no matter small things they are, you will appreciate the blessings around you. Which will provide you with strengths in your difficult times.

2. How your life could improve, if you stop caring about other people’s perception about you?

With this prompt you will have an idea of your self confidence. Maybe you’re not living your life which is aligned to the ideal person you want to be. Maybe there’s more of you that you don’t share with the people in your life, for whatever the reason. Or there is something you always wanted to do but you stopped due to the fear of judgement and criticism. ask yourself the following questions-

• How would you live your life if you stopped caring about what other people thought of you?
• What if nobody knew who you were? Who would you allow yourself to be?
• Who is the true you that is asking to come out?

Being your authentic self-outside the box is okey. Don’t try to restrict or hold yourself for becoming who you want to be. May be next month or next year is the opportunity for you to start with.

3. What kind of experiences makes you feel loved? And how do you show yourself that kind of love?

When do you feel loved after having certain experience? And how you express yourself to that kind of love? Write it and you will have an idea and reflection of your love language. Then start doing those things for yourself without anyone help or depending on anyone. For instance,

How to show love to yourself:

If compliments make you feel loved, then give yourself compliments.

Try to cook yourself a nice dinner. Or, take yourself on a date.

4. What are the things you are trying to teach yourself recently?

Is there any life lesson that you wanted to teach yourself? Because life is always teaching lessons. Sometimes we don’t recognize them, and they repeat until we do. Ask yourself: What is life trying to teach you right now? Why do you think about that?

May be, a lesson could be like letting go of your need for external validation and reassessing my internal validation. Or maybe it is something like- being resilience during tough time with positivity and keep going forward. Write them down and act on them.

5. Think about your past struggle and how you want to prepare yourself for future struggle

Think back to a difficult time you’ve overcome. What are the lessons from it and write them, identify your strength and weakness. And doing so you can be prepared for the future struggle which might come. We all keep facing struggle our life, but the past lesson and future preparation helps to overcome those moments with ease.

Believe in yourself. You are more capable than you realize.

6. After having a good exercise session how do you feel?

Over the past few months or weeks what your life taught you? Look into those mistakes and failures as well as victory. Then appreciate yourself of how far you have come.
