Favorite Self Care Routines
Just turned 41 and I rely on little bits of self care on a daily basis. Stretching, meditation, and The Class (highly recommended) are my go to’s - What are some of your favorite things to do for self care?

Hi there… I’m Ocean the Healthy Living Team Leader.
We think it’s great that you are taking the time to work on yourself by incorporating SelfCare activities daily! That is amazing.
I have to ask what is “The class”? Do you mean a group fitness class? Can you elaborate as I’d love to know!
Me personally I do whatever things make me feel good in the moment. Whether it’s getting outdoors with my Pup, working out, relaxing at home with family, or planning a getaway of some sort. And sometimes doing absolutely nothing can be pretty great too!
Continue to keep up the great work that you are doing and thank you for stopping by to share with us.
Hello, thanks for the response! The Class is an online somatic workout/therapeutic method that I’ve been loving recently. It really makes working out feel like more of an emotional release, it’s great. I think they have studios in NYC and LA but I’ve only done their classes online. I also love hanging with our dog, it’s the best way to unwind :)
@Alivingston , I like to paint when I need to take a breather ^^ also streching sounds good. Anytime anywhere when you need a break!
I just retired and I’ve started walking. I’ve been retired (and walking) since January 1, 2024, and recently I’ve started to actually I look forward to my morning and evening walks. I am not a fitness person, but I knew I needed to spend more time exercising when I retired. I love that I look forward to it now (there isn’t much I look forward to). Right now that’s what I’m doing. I just ordered a rebounder so I can exercise with it when it gets too hot to walk (I’m in north Florida-temps will get into the high 90s soon).
Self-care is so important, especially as we get older. I love doing yoga, reading a good book, and taking long walks. Also I like reading different articles and info. Recently this article on https://betterme.world/articles/are-women-more-flexible-than-men/ was an interesting read about flexibility differences!
