Love Yourself Challenges

by Maria Gracia Updated on February 1, 2024 Love yourself this month! These 29 mini challenges are designed to help you do things that are good for your mind, body, and soul! Join our newsletter to be notified when new content is added to our website. 1. Start a new skin care routine and stick to it every night. 2. Brush your teeth for a full two minutes after meals. And don’t forget to floss! 3. Something bothering you? Get your thoughts on paper. Write the challenge and what you might do to begin fixing it or healing from it. 4. Take yourself on a date. Go to a nice coffee shop, a movie, or a book store. 5. Log your daily intake of vegetables and fruit. Adjust your eating habits if needed to be sure these are both significant entities of your daily diet: 4-5 servings of each per day. A serving is not huge. Examples are 4 large strawberries, 1 cup of leafy vegetables, or 6 baby carrots. 6. Meditate or pray. Give yourself a quiet 15 to 20 minutes every day to reflect and refresh. 7. Take care of your fingernails and toenails. Keep them trimmed and clean. Use cuticle oil if your nail beds are a bit dry. Go to a podiatrist if your feet are always hurting! 8. Does your eyeglass prescription need to be updated? Make an appointment to get that handled. 9. How are your reflexes? If they need to be improved, perhaps play a sport (like pickle ball) or play some action-oriented video games for a few minutes each day. 10. Recite positive affirmations to yourself daily…”I am beautiful,” “I am capable,” “I can do whatever I set my mind to,” “I am a good human being.” 11. Moisturize any dry skin. Pay extra attention to elbows and kneecaps. This is an extra important task during the cold months! 12. Get at least 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night…no more and no less. 13. Be mindful in everything you’re doing  to help avoid errors and to encourage you to appreciate everything around you. 14. Be social. Call friends, write to relatives, and join clubs. 15. Learn something new every day. Watch a TED talk, read about a topic you’re interested in, or listen to pod- casts about favorite subjects. 16. Do a social media detox. Really. It’s okay to not be on Facebook for a day…or even a week or two. 17. Listen to your favorite music for a full 30 minutes. Do nothing else except listen. 18. Get a water tracker app on your phone to help you determine if you’re drinking enough water in a given day. It’s important to stay hydrated. 19. Get outside today…and every day.  Even if you’re only stepping out your front door, the fresh air is good for you. 20. Write a thank you note or letter to someone…by hand. It helps you slow down and think of someone else. 21. Make a tiny goal. Get it done. Celebrate! 22. Take an hour to yourself today. Craft, read, nap…whatever you enjoy doing. 23. Get your hair done. Enjoy the relaxing aspect of having someone do something for you. 24. Begin a new book. Read at least one chapter every day. 25. Look through an old photo album to enjoy old memories. 26. Start a new photo album of new memories. 27. Eat vegetarian for the entire day.  Perhaps you’ll want do begin doing this once a week or more. 28. Learn some new stretches that you can incorporate into your morning wake- up routine, as well as your evening wind-down routine. 29. Enjoy leap day! Do something that makes you joyful!
