6 ways to take time for yourself even with a hectic schedule

Life can sometimes feel like you’re on a rollercoaster. You can barely keep up with the pace, deadlines are attacking you from every direction at work, leaving you with zero time for self-care. 

We all know that we deserve some pampering and self-love after working so hard, but the problem is finding the time for it, especially with your hectic schedule. 

Sometimes all it takes is a glass of wine and your favorite show. Other times it takes a complete time-out and time off—regardless of the type you need, just go for it! Here are 7 simple ways you can do that.

1. Spa dates at home

Pull your hair up with a silk scrunchie and enjoy a nice long bath to unwind. Replace bedsheets with clean sheets and silk pillowcases. Silk products bring a calming, luxury vibe to your space—you’ll love it. It’s a win-win situation! 

Silk pillowcases improve your skin and hair’s hydration. The next thing you want to do is prepare a soothing bath. 

To make the most of your bath time, light your favorite candles, wear a hair mask for hydration, and pull your hair up in a silk scrunchie—then let the water work its magic. 

2. Prioritize alone time

Putting yourself last isn’t always the best idea. Take some time out for yourself. It’s essential and you shouldn’t compromise it for anything. Wear a silk eye mask and meditate or lie on a couch and just breathe. 

3. Make the most of your work breaks

You know all those lunch breaks you forfeit in the name of work? Those are priceless windows of time you can use to re-energize and motivate yourself to do more. 

Remember those breaks are there for a reason. Take breaks and prioritize relaxation using a silk eye mask and a silk pillowcase, so you’ll return to work feeling refreshed. 

4. Self-care

Who says you can’t implement self-care with a hectic schedule? Set up your workspace to suit your likes and vibe so you can enjoy long working hours in a wholesome space. 

Surround yourself with affirmations, or personalized products that strengthen you and keep you going. Healthy eating and regular exercise are also important to keep you fired up. 

5. Clear your schedule

Eliminate the non-priority, time-consuming events from your calendar. Who knows? They could be drawbacks.

Taking time out for yourself, even with a busy schedule, is possible. You just have to do it! Follow all these steps we’ve been sharing, and you’ll see an improvement in your overall quality of life. 

6. Meditation 

Meditation can help calm your nerves and uplift your spirit. By focusing your mind on just one thing, you can declutter your inner self and feel revived constantly.

To optimize your meditation sessions even more, wear a silk eye mask and add a few drops of essential oil, if you like. This can help you reach that deep state of relaxation and tranquility faster.
