Make your bed in the morning.

I love this simple task. It allows  me to feel productive in the morning before I  start my day.

Stretch

It can be something as easy as stretching your back.

Open your blinds

 This is a simple task that you can do to allow that sunny vitamin to enter your room.

Create daily affirmations!

– Say it with me:

– I am beautiful.

– I am smart.

– I am determined.

– I speak my mind.

– I can do this.

Picking out your outfit the night before

Having my outfit picked out the night before prevents me from getting overwhelmed by all the clothes in my closet.

Have some breakfast

Have anything you crave for breakfast. Personally, it may even be cake.

Go out for a walk or walk your dog

Bundle up and go for a walk. I love good, snowy walks.

Create your schedule for the day

The schedule can be simple, such as waking up and making breakfast.

Schedule time for schoolwork

I like to divide my day into chunks. That way, it’s easier to  manage.

Schedule time for self-care

Recently, my favourite form of self-care has been baking.

Schedule time for a hobby

Recently, I have been loving painting.

Clean your room or closet

 I do this to feel productive when I am procrastinating in school. It evens out because I am still using my time effectively.

Take a shower/bath

– Whichever you prefer.

-Buy some nice body wash beforehand and good shampoo to make it fun.

Wash your bedsheets

There’s nothing better than getting in fresh bedsheets after a shower.

Watch your favourite TV show or movie!

Now that it’s December 1st, it’s Christmas movie season.

Take yourself on a date!

This one can be daunting at first, but you’ll feel like a new, empowered woman once you do it.

Hangout with your friends

There is nothing better than laughing with your friends.

Take a break from studying.

Studying is overwhelming, and taking a break can be  much needed.

I’m working on not feeling guilty for taking breaks.

Christmas shopping

This can be for your loved ones, friends, or even yourself.

Journaling

– I love journaling.

– I make it a priority to write every morning.

Read your favourite book.

There’s something so therapeutic about imagining the world through books.

Have an at-home photoshoot

This one is so much fun!

Put up your Christmas tree (if you celebrate)

There’s something so special about putting up the tree and seeing it all light up.

Go grocery shopping

– You never know what you’re going to end up buying.

– Sometimes, I go in for one thing but spend $50.

Enjoy the little things

Focus on something good that happened today and write it down!
