weekly self care challenge - are you up for it?
** this challenge is finished and is no longer updated weekly! there are three months worth of self care activities (5 activities per week for 3 months), so you can feel free to go through the thread and choose some self care activities to do for yourself or follow on your own time! i hope you enjoy it <3
hello hello everyone and welcome to the self care challenge thread!!!
i'm very excited to start this challenge and i hope that you will all enjoy it as well! (and yes i'll be doing it with you😛)
how it works:
on sunday of every week until the end of april, i will be updating this post and giving you all 5 things you can do to practice some self care (enough to do one activity every weekday)!
your job:
i am giving you all the task of completing at least 1 of the activities i post every week! i know it can be hard, but i really encourage and would love it for all of you to at least try! you can pick and choose which ones work best for you! feel free to repeat them as much as you'd like throughout the week, as there's no such thing as too much self care :)
instructions for posting:
make one post at the end of the week (preferably by sunday) and let us know what activity(ies) you completed or attempted throughout the past week!
i will make a post at the end of every week and tag everyone who replied to the previous posts as a reminder! feel free to subscribe to the thread (by clicking the "subscribe" button right above this post) so you get a notification when there's a new post as well!
activities for the week of april 26:
- watch a funny video or show
- be extra conscious of your thoughts and try to say “no” to any negativity that tries to creep through
- dedicate time to do things you’ve been procrastinating or putting off
- go on a self date
- reflect on what you have done the past few months and how much you enjoyed this challenge!
i hope you will all enjoy this challenge and will feel even just a little bit better after completing each week! i'm so so excited to see what we can all do and how far we can get with the challenge!
feel free to tag anyone you think should take part!
have fun!!!
I made my bed with clean fresh bedding and sprayed my new chamomile and lavender sleep spray and am now currently having a cup of tea and reading my new book in bed true and utter peace right here!

I spent a lot of time to myself and relaxed the past week, it was super refreshing to do so. I was able to relieve a lot of stress. I ate a couple of healthy meals and drank water, I also went and walked to the store to get stuff for my parents twice. This was a great experience, thanks for doing this! I look forward to doing more like this.
@LiliTwolsky
that's incredible! so proud of you <3
I managed to find some time despite feeling stressed and overwhelmed and took 30 minutes for myself to soak in the bathtub and read a book.
I also ate healthy meals, make a bed took walks. The only thing I didn't manage to do is organizing space in the home - for now, it is beyond my energy levels ^^;
Looking forward to next week's self-care ideas!
@Celaeno
