Realistic self-care for a busy summer
LET'S be honest, summer doesn't always feel as relaxing as we imagine it will be. Between school holidays, family plans, barbecues and trying to make the most of every sunny moment, life can quickly become busier than ever. Here in Worcester we're lucky to have beautiful green spaces and riverside paths that make it easier to slow down. But when life gets busy what's the first thing we drop? Ourselves. But self-care doesn't have to mean long spa days or expensive retreats. More: When romantic country house hosted a royal wedding It can be small, simple moments that help us feel like ourselves again. For me it starts with something as basic as wearing clothes I feel good in. When I'm hot and flustered everything feels harder! Choose light, comfortable clothes that help you move through the day with ease. A quick shower before bed for me has been a game-changer. Not only does it cool me down, it also washes away the day, both mentally and physically. Hydration sounds obvious but it's one of the easiest things to forget. Keep a glass or bottle nearby and sip throughout the day even if you don't feel thirsty. And don't underestimate the power of music. Pop on a playlist you love, something uplifting while you're cooking dinner or folding laundry. Bonus points if you dance around the kitchen with the kids! Sometimes five quiet minutes with a cup of tea or a catch-up with a friend is all the self-care you need. It doesn't have to be perfect and it definitely doesn't have to be fancy. Whatever your version of self-care looks like this summer, give yourself permission to take it. You matter too! Our columnist Amy Evans is director of Worcester's All About Me beauty salon and pro beauty academy.
