We’ve all heard of the benefits of self care. But it can’t be hard to do because we often don’t know where to start.

Here are 6 simple self care you can try! Are there other simple self care tips you do that aren't mentioned in our video?
Loved seeing your self-care routine evolve in this video! It’s cool how 5S Hair products play a part in your daily ritual
Your voice is so calming, thanks for the great video!
As long as you aren't harming youself or others around you doing something you love is essential. This is very nice and made me think!
The problem is I would get too tired after work everyday that I just fall asleep right away
Mhm, I get it… I must take care myself, but i need someone to take care about me, and uh… I don't know, I'm still confused…
Probably I need to ask something to take care myself, but how do I take care myself when I'm gonna be alone in USA home, but i wish… I wish someone who will take care about me, but i need trusts, if they're lying then I'll not trust them, if they not, I will trust them………
Really gentle and helpful advice
Doing something you love
I have a family with a disorganized home
It’s hard because I pretend to me happy but inside I feel useless because people ignore me but my family
Thanks. ✌️🌹🕊

Not me organizing my room while listening to this😅
Honestly the eating well part makes complete sense and I didn’t know that !
You inspire me to be more organized and intentional with my time—thank you!
I feel like if I choose myself I’m being selfish and choosing to please others
For me, learning to disconnect from technology has been a game-changer. It wasn’t easy at first, but I realized that stepping away from my phone gave me more peace and focus in life
I love this art style. sooo cute❤❤
organize in and out – very revealing
As I watch videos like this, I realize one thing that is constant.
Guilt
Guilt that you aren't living the life others seem to promote, even if the life is healthy in the long run. Guilt that they have something you don't. Is this the oh so fathomed "American Dream"? Because it's more of a nightmare than a dream.
Take better sllep
Mindfull eating
Create boundries
Disconnect
Orgnise inner and out
Enjoy
Wish I could eat mindfully
If only any of these worked or was applicable
My room is in a state of an organized chaos comprised of half finished projects

Please someone like my comment so that I can watch it time to time😊
Boys. Was it a girl?
can you make a vedio on how to be producrtive please.
I took a workshop through my university a couple months ago, and they mentioned a couple things that I found really helpful.
1. Self-care and self-comfort are two distinct things. Self-care is things you do to make yourself healthier physically, mentally, etc. even though you may not feel like doing them all the time (e.g. exercising), they're important for your health. Self-comfort is more like treating myself to a bubble tea every now and again; it may not be the healthiest, but it makes me happy.
2. Boundaries are more about the steps you take to ensure your needs are being met, not demands for another person to change their behaviour. So if your friend is texting you too much, for example, rather than asking them to text you less, a better boundary would be telling them you won't get back to them right away if you're feeling overwhelmed. This is because you can't control other people's actions, and boundaries should focus on what you can control to ensure your needs are being met.
Anyone come after seeing a real?❤2024

The best self-care habit according to Ayurveda to become happier and healthier will always be to take regularly 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil on an empty stomach. In this manner not only all the waste deposed in your intestines will be excreted, but the toxins deposed in your body will be eliminated via the liver too.
I love your animation style.

I think people relate self care with nonessential extra things you do, like face masks, green juices, doing meditation, etc. While those are self care things you can do, self care also includes the more essential activities to maintain your health, both physically and mentally. Like drinking water, getting good sleep, eating foods that fuel your body, etc.
Adhd doesn't help my case
Clean up your room bucko!
