When you feel overwhelmed, devoting any energy to self-care may feel impossible—even though that's when you need it most. Starting with these small, achievable practices can help.
2. Take a nagging job off your plate.
Nagging to-dos and the accompanying thought intrusions can be draining. It can be self-care to get a non-critical task done and off your plate so you can stop thinking about it and reduce your cognitive load. Sometimes you'll need to choose this over seemingly more important things.This example is the most similar to the stereotypical ones like massages and candle-lit bubble baths. Try relaxing in a low sensory environment. I did this last night.
Having great blackout curtains or shades makes this easier. I live in Las Vegas, and mine are secondhand from when a five-star hotel was remodeled, and they're excellent for light blocking. Doing a few stretching or strengthening exercises can help you slow down for a few minutes, especially if you're not someone who can do absolutely nothing. Try clamshells, a seated forward bend, or a yoga squat. You can use accessories to help you. For example, I have a set of resistance bands that I bought for about $5 online, and I use a bath towel under my heels to help with yoga squats.
