Self-care is taking time to care for your mental wellness. It looks different for everyone, but I make sure to set aside time nightly for me. Every night, my “me time” consists of my skincare routine, journaling, and quiet time. I wash and moisturize my skin; this little activity makes me feel productive even on my worst days. After my skin-care routine, I journal. Journalling is how I keep a positive attitude. I write the things I am grateful for, even on bad days. Finally, I set aside time in the night to relax. As a nursing student, life is constantly moving forward, which can get overwhelming. It’s very important to me to hit pause and relax. To be a good student, I need to have a healthy mentality. This is why self-care is so important to me.
