You Need To Try These 3 Self Care Activities: That Will Cost You Nothing

Self care activities don’t have to include getting an expensive facial or massage, or joining a gym or any other extravagant thing. The fact is you can practice self care every single day and not spend a dime.

Here are some great free or low cost ways to have more self care activities in your everyday life..

Take a Bubble Bath

Here is the thing, as long as you have the bath supplies, and a bathtub, this isn’t going to cost you a dime. Draw yourself a hot bath and pour in some bubbles, essential oils, or bath salts. Soak in the tub with some music playing or just sit in silence.

Music is a good distraction if you have kids in the house that you want to tune out for the time being. Lock the door so you have no distractions and let the dogs, or cats, out so they don’t bother you either. Remember not to bring your cell phone in the bathroom with you!

Try Meditation

There are many people who like to give meditation a try when they want to practice self care without spending a lot of money. This is something else that can be free or possibly cost a small amount of money, depending on your method.

For example, if you want to purchase a meditation CD to follow along to, naturally you will be spending a small amount of money. However, for the most part, this is minimal and a one-time cost.

About meditation

Meditation involves breathing exercises and sitting in a quiet space alone while you relax your mind. You want to try to think about as little as possible, using imagery to think of something that brings you peace and happiness, instead of using this time to think about what is causing you stress in the first place.

It does take a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, you will realize just how beneficial it can be.

Go For a Walk or Run

Exercise should always be at the top of your list when you are trying to find activities for yourself that don’t cost anything. Some workouts cost money when you need to get a gym membership or buy fancy equipment, but both walking and running require nothing.

Just wear comfortable clothes and a good pair of shoes, and you’re good to go! You can walk around your neighborhood, head to somewhere more scenic, or even walk in place or up and down the stairs in your home if the weather is bad outside.
