It is something that I really prioritise as I recharge by having alone or quiet time. When I really need a moment to myself… I always make time for it. My go-to comfort meal is… since becoming pregnant, definitely beans on toast. I switch off from work by… cooking or going for a walk.īefore I go to bed, I’ll… practice sleep hygiene – no phones, a guided meditation if I still feel wound up or stressed and essential oils.Īfter a long work week, I de-stress by… going for dinner with my partner. I know it’s been a good day if… I feel calm. I am a big advocate of not letting things build up, emotionally or physically. The quickest, smallest thing I do for myself every day is… check in and see how I am feeling. My daily self-care checklist routine includes… lots but these tend to be my non-negotiables warm start for my digestion, a circulatory technique like gua sha or dry body brushing, time in nature (even if it is just taking a moment and looking out the window) and breathwork. The after-effect, as I know doing one small thing especially in the morning can change my whole day. I engage with self-care every day by… focusing on how it makes me feel. I have had to really work on my morning routine as I struggle to get out of bed and can let the days to do list build up in my head. The most challenging part of my day is… the morning. The best part of my day is… coming home to my partner and catching up. Usually at night when I have more time but sometimes during the day if I am going out – it gives such a lovely natural lift and brightness to your skin.Įscapada Health co-founders Maeve O’Sullivan and Emilia Herting The self-care tool I use every day is… gua sha. I can’t go to work without… having my overnight oats.
