Sometimes keeping up with new year’s resolutions can be a daunting task, especially since we’re still grappling with a worldwide pandemic and its repercussions in our daily lives. I mean, who doesn’t like a new opportunity to start fresh and make way into a healthier, more fulfilled version of one’s self? However, it surely is no walk in the park. It takes time and dedication to break into negative habits and build positive ones.
While we’re all for achieving grand goals to nurture ourselves, it also won’t hurt if we’ll take our journey slowly and power through with the help of simple, easily-achievable steps. Below are some simple things you can add to your self-love routine to become the best version of yourself this 2022.
1. Take care of your intimate health.
While it’s pretty obvious that taking care of our bodies is as important as taking care of our faces, some folks are not as invested. This year, make it a habit to incorporate a body skincare routine to keep your overall look healthy and glowing. Of course, your intimacy area is included. It’s the key to feeling confident wherever you go!

2. Drink lots of water.
From fatigue to poor cognitive function to dehydration, lack of drinking water can cause a plethora of problems to your body. The adults have always been right—drink your water, fella! As a general rule of thumb, we need around 1.7 liters of water daily, but of course, you’re welcome to exceed as you please. You would know once you see the wonders it does to your skin!
3. Prioritize sleep.
Staying at home can blur the boundaries between work and leisure, to the extent of us sacrificing our much-needed shuteye for extra hours on Slack, or sometimes even Netflix (guilty as charged!). Reduce digital distractions before bed and improve your sleep quality. You’ll feel a lot better every morning, trust us.
4. Invest in a daily meditation practice.
As we face challenges in our day-to-day, it’s imperative to establish a routine that will help us find calmness, eventually helping in our mantras and decision-making skills. One routine that works for many women is doing daily meditations, which significantly improves emotional regulation and lets you in a deeper connection to yourself.
5. Dress in a way that makes you feel good.
Who says dressing up is only for events and parties? Show up as the finest version of yourself and start “getting dressed”, even if you’re just well on your way to the kitchen table or your remote office setup! And while you’re at it, don’t forget the signature red lipstick—don’t ever let anyone or anything (not even a pandemic) dull your sparkle.
