7 Self-Care Ideas for December
Oh here we go! At the end of the year! Must be stressed out. But I’m not here to remind you of the worst parts of December — I’m here to tell you the special things you can still do before the year ends.
Not every December day will be perfect, and that’s totally fine. But we can take small steps to care for ourselves — and that’s exactly what self-care is about.
That’s why in this video I am going to share some self-care ideas that you can do only for yourself in December.
Skin and Haircare
As we know when the weather changes we have so much hair fall and sometimes our skin starts to get dry. Try to change your hair and skin products. Moisturize your skin regularly. And be shiny.
Donate or gift something to someone
Giving something — even small — becomes a way to release the year with kindness.
In December, we try to shut down all the bad or negative energy. Even though we really cannot let go of all the bad things, still there is a little hope for positivity and happiness, donating, and gifting something to someone might be a gesture of positivity. December makes the act of giving feel more magical, more emotional, and kinder.
Bake some cookies or cake
Baking or cooking is not just all about eating or feeding someone. It can be a very kind and sweet gesture and it works like therapy. There are lots of winter special fruits, and if you try to make some cookies or cake, it will really help you to enhance your mood.
Decorate Your Room for Winter Energy
My personal favourite activity is decorating the room. Normally, I prefer to decorate my room according to the season. If it is summer, I try to make it a more shiny, Sunflower mini bouquet, but in the winter, I totally change it by putting some dim lights and keeping my cosy blanket and spend the time there reading books. It really helps me to learn about myself and what I actually want and I think. This is the most beautiful self-care thing in my opinion and that’s why I put this on the list. I hope you will try as well. If you try, let me know in the comments because personally it is my favourite self-care activity.
Candle Meditation
Sit with one candle in the dark and breathe deeply. December nights stretch longer, carrying a quiet, gentle stillness. Lighting a single candle transforms your space into a warm, peaceful atmosphere.
Create a “Soft Goals” List
Not resolutions. Just gentle things you want to feel or experience before the year ends. Don’t be hard on yourself to complete your goals. Remember soft goals are just about nourishing yourself not overwhelming your mind or plans.
Set your goals
December is the connection between who you were and who you want to become. Whatever you are aiming for just write it down. It’s all about prioritising your own intentions.
