Snow Days ❄️ are for Self-Care 💝

Spread the love

With much of the country under (some amount of) snow, I’m declaring today a snow day!! Yes, I know. With everything going on with COVID, snow days {for many of us} are a thing of the past. We can now dial in and work remotely and all the good stuff… BUT – just because you can work from home all day, every day doesn’t mean you always should.

Above is a view from my porch this morning. What you don’t see in the picture is the sheet of ice under the snow {because it was 40 and raining last night), the blistering winds, or the below 0 windchills…conditions like this make me very happy to not have to leave the house.

And, here’s a view from inside, on my sofa. Feet up, the warmest {and ugliest} blanket I own, a hot cup of coffee, fire blazing, and some of the best {and worst} reading material I could find. Oh, and we can’t forget I’m also wrapped up in my ‘purple people sleeper’ – my footed, hooded onesie!

I intend to spend a large chunk of my day right here – staying warm and sedentary. This sounds like the perfect ‘bonus day’ to me!

What do you like to do with your ‘extra bonus days’?  I really like to spend at least a portion of the day having some ‘me time’…it just seems like a wonderfully sudden luxury that I have to take advantage of.  Here are a few self-care ideas if you’re looking for something to spark your interest: 😉

  • Read a book
  • Play a board or card game
  • Rest {or nap}
  • Find a new podcast
  • Phone a friend {or text or write}
  • Write-a letter or in your journal
  • Build a snowman
  • Make snow angels
  • Go sledding
  • Take a bubble bath
  • Bake or cook
  • ‘Clean up’ your social media
  • Learn something new
  • Meditate or Pray
  • Light a candle
  • Binge/catch up on your favorite show
  • Watch your all-time go-to movie
  • Do some online retail therapy
  • Organize one {small} area of your home
  • Create-draw, paint, write, sew
  • Pick back up a 1/2 finished project
  • Play Candy Crush or another mindless game
  • Look through old pictures
  • Build Legos
  • NOTHING!!

Self Care and taking some ‘You Time’ is really whatever you want it to be! Find something that fills your cup and soothes your soul and spend even just a few minutes doing that! There’s really no right way to take care of yourself 🥰

I would absolutely love to hear how you’re spending your snow day!! Come on over to Instagram and leave a message on what you’re doing just for you today!
