5 Ways to Use Your Planner for Self-Care

Happy International Women's Day! 🎉

At the core of our beliefs is that self-care is non-negotiable. It is not a luxury, but something that every woman deserves, everyday. Studies show that self-care helps you function at your highest level and live your healthiest, most fulfilling life.

The Savor Beauty Planner helps you get it all done, all while prioritizing your self-care. It's more than just a planner - it's a holistic approach to wellness.

Here are 5 ways to use your Savor Beauty Planner for self-care:

Define Your Self-Care Priorities

In your Opening Ritual, define 3 priorities you'd like to focus on. Here are some ideas for inspiration:

Improving the quality of your sleep
Moving your body more
Spending more time with loved ones
Reading 1 book every month
Eating more fruits and vegetables
Drinking 64 oz. of water everyday

Make a List of Self-Care Activities

Now that you have defined your self-care priorities, list out the various activities that can help you achieve these goals. Tip: Dedicate an entire "Gorgeous Chaos" container to this.

If your goal is to get better quality sleep, you can:

Take a warm bath or shower before bed to relax your muscles. Elevate the experience with a few drops of pure essential oil for deeply soothing aromatherapy.
Put your phone away 1 hour before bedtime, as the blue light keeps us up and makes it difficult to unwind.
Read a book to unplug from the day and take your mind elsewhere before you drift off to sleep.

If your goal is to drink more water, you can:

Get a cute new water bottle to inspire you to drink more.
Create a tracking system in your planner. Use stickers to make it more fun!
Incorporate water in your diet through fruits, vegetables, and soup.

Schedule Your Self-Care

One of the most challenging things about self-care is finding the time to practice it. Refer to your self-care activity list, and designate a time for each activity throughout the week. Simply writing down self-care activities is not enough. Take the time to actually schedule your activities in your week.

For example:

Monday @ 6 PM: Vinyasa Yoga class
Tuesday @ 7 AM: Take a walk in the park
Saturday @ 12 PM: Clean out your fridge and make a yummy smoothie or salad with your remaining fruits and vegetables

Self-care is non-negotiable. Think of it as a mandatory meeting with your higher self.

Practice Gratitude

Gratitude is an essential aspect of self-care. Write down three things you're grateful for each day. Focusing on the positive things in your life can help shift your mindset and improve your overall well-being.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

I am grateful for my body because it allows me to ________
I am grateful for ______ (a person)
I am grateful for ______ (a job or hobby)

Reflect on Your Self-Care Journey

As you fill out your Closing Ritual each week, use the guided questions to check in with yourself on your self-care journey.

How do you feel? Were you able to complete all, or some, of your self-care activities? Perhaps you learned that you love doing yoga, but can't sit still to read a book. Checking in with yourself helps to track your progress, learn from your habits, and continue on the path to a more radiant you.

Happy manifesting!
