Let’s be real – some days, taking care of yourself feels like another task on your to-do list. Between work, family, and the million things tugging at your attention, you often come last.
I created the Self-Care Checklist as a gentle way to change that.
It’s not about adding more pressure. It’s about giving yourself permission to pause, reset, and nurture your needs – just a little at a time.
Why I Made This Checklist
I used to think self-care meant long baths or weekends away. But I learned the most powerful moments of care are often small:
- Drinking water before coffee
- Taking 3 deep breaths before answering a text
- Saying no without guilt
- Journaling one sentence before bed
This checklist helps you remember those small but mighty habits – and actually do them.
What’s Inside the Checklist
This free printable is a simple, calming reminder you can keep nearby – on your mirror, at your desk, in your planner.
It includes 10 doable, nourishing self-care habits like:
- Morning check-in
- Gentle movement
- Gratitude reflection
- Digital wind-down
- Daily affirmation
Each habit is simple, flexible, and totally doable in your real life.
How to Use It
- Print it out and tape it where you’ll see it.
- Pick 2-3 habits to focus on each day – no pressure to do all 10.
- Check off what you can, and celebrate what you did, not what you didn’t
Your self-care doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be yours.
