Plan to Attend Church Virtually or Locally: If attending church is part of your spiritual practice, Sunday mornings are a perfect time for reflection and connection. It's a chance to nurture your soul and build community. Regardless of whatever your spiritual practice is or your personal preference to either watch church from home or locally - make time for God! Here’s some ways you can spend more time with God: Sit Quietly with God & ask Him to listen to your heart. Listen to worship music of your choice. Read your Bible. Pray & just talk to God, open yourself up - No you don’t have to memorize your prayers! You can journal about how you feel and things you’re grateful for, which is another amazing way. FASTING. YES, fasting is not just about dieting. Sometimes, we need to fast from social media, certain music types, going OUTSIDE, fast from people, places, and things to realign yourself with God & your higher self. Noon: Schedule Now that we’ve effectively set our tone for the day… Let's address another common pitfall. Do you often find yourself overwhelmed by a lack of structure? It's easy to lose track of time, leaving self-care and beauty routines on the backburner, sometimes family and our closest relationships too. Or maybe we’re spending too much time for everyone else & not ourselves. Which ever applies to your situation HER Beauty FIX got you covered. Start By Time Mapping for Schedule for the day: Create a time map that outlines your self-care activities, beauty routines, relaxation moments, Sunday funday, and any necessary tasks you'd like to accomplish. Time mapping helps you structure your day and ensures you allocate dedicated slots for self-care. Here’s 4 Questions you can ask yourself first: What time do I need to wake up to get an early start at getting the most of my day? What do I want my day to look like? What are some things I need to prioritize first, second, and last? How long will I spend on each activity or task?

When it comes to your mental health, self-care can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. It affects how we think, feel, act, make choices, and relate to others. Self-care looks different for everyone, and it is important to find what you need and enjoy. It may take trial and error to discover what works best for you. In addition, although self-care is not beating yourself up because thing's don't happen overnight, but making the changes you need to make that work for you which can lead to living the life you always deserved.
