How to take care of yourself as a woman
There are many ways to take care of yourself as a woman that goes far beyond this list you’re about to read, but these are the things that have helped me from my teen years and far into womanhood. Hopefully, they’ll help you too.
These small tasks, relaxation techniques, and more will leave you feeling good, looking good, and being happier overall. The better you take care of you, the better everyone is.
#1 Sleep. Yes, this is part of human survival, but seriously, it is an important part of self care. We need a certain amount of sleep to function at our best ability. And staying on Instagram until two am and then waking up at six am to catch the train does not create a sustainable sleeping pattern.
I know how hard it is to get to bed the same time every single night; I rarely do it. But I try to make it at least within an hour or two every night so that I wake up refreshed rather than exhausted. I use lavender oil in a diffuser to help me relax and make sure my bedroom is as dark as possible so nothing wakes me.
2 Drink water. This is another life necessity, but it does more than keep your hydrated. Not only does drinking a decent amount of water every day keep your skin clear and glowing, but it helps you function better. Whenever you feel thirsty, you are already slightly dehydrated. So mostly you are not drinking enough.
Everyone needs to know how to care for themselves. We should know how to feed ourselves, clean, bathe; the basics. But as a woman, there is so much that goes into it. Yes, that can mean makeup, skincare, and hair styling, but there is more to it than that.
Taking care of yourself isn’t just surviving or looking good while doing it. When it comes to understanding how to take care of yourself as a woman, it is all about how you feel.

Ever since I started drinking more water daily I feel lighter, I have more energy, and just feel healthier overall.
#3 Make time for hobbies. I know you are busy. We all are. There is always something to do: go grocery shopping, do laundry, pay bills, etc. But make sure you are carving out some time for the things you love to do.
Reading, painting, cooking, whatever it may be, don’t put it on the back burner. This is something you enjoy doing, therefore it makes you happy. Self-care is about more than health, it is about your overall wellbeing. So do everything you can do to enjoy every minute.
#4 Make time for nothing. This may sound odd. Who wants to do nothing? Well, that is the whole point. Do you ever find yourself just sitting on your bed after a shower and before you know it, an hour went by and you have done nothing but sit and stare into space?
