When we think about a self-care routine<\/em><\/strong>… I believe the first<\/em> thing that comes to mind is a list<\/em><\/strong>\u2026 what are the possibilities<\/strong>? What do people say is best<\/strong>? What should I include<\/strong>?<\/em><\/span><\/p>

Then you come across a ready-made list you found online…<\/em><\/strong> and there you find a few more of the endless options<\/em> that exist in this vast world that is the internet<\/em>, telling you what you <\/strong><\/span>should do, could do, or what is best for you.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>

And often, as we read, research, and discover new things<\/em>, we end up even more lost than when we started.<\/em> <\/strong>The search itself already wears you out<\/em>, and your routine ends up staying exactly the same.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Or you even try to start<\/em><\/strong> something, but it doesn\u2019t seem to make much sense<\/em><\/strong>, it doesn\u2019t fit into your life, or it simply doesn\u2019t work for you.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Some people give up<\/em> at this point<\/strong> and don\u2019t manage to achieve<\/em> what they wanted: to have a routine that works for them.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

But there is an important part<\/em> of all this: <\/span>who does this routine need to work for? You.<\/em><\/b><\/p>

And I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve noticed, but practically everything you could search for<\/strong> online…<\/em> \u201cdo<\/em> this,\u201d \u201cuse<\/em> that,\u201d \u201cyou should<\/em> do this,\u201d \u201cthis is the best<\/em>\u201d… comes from somewhere outside of you.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

You have a thousand possibilities, ads, and suggestions<\/em>\u2026 and you always will.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

That\u2019s why my suggestion<\/strong> for finding a routine that makes sense <\/em><\/span>for you…<\/b> is not<\/em> to begin by looking for external answers<\/em><\/strong>… on the internet, through recommendations, or in lists… but to pause<\/strong> for a moment, look inward<\/strong>, observe yourself<\/strong>, notice and feel<\/strong> what makes sense <\/em>for you<\/strong>\u2026 without rushing.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

I believe<\/em> this can lead you toward better paths:<\/strong> looking for the right products, finding the professionals you want, noticing more clearly whether a practice is working for you or not<\/em>, and making choices that feel more aligned with your life.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

And following that idea<\/em>, there is one more thing about your routine that may be interesting for you to know and observe\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A routine doesn\u2019t have to be rigid to work:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Well, I want to start by sharing something personal<\/em>… because, for a long time, I didn\u2019t like the idea of having a routine.<\/strong>.. I thought I would feel freer<\/strong> simply flowing through the day, and that having<\/em><\/span> a routine would feel like I was trapping myself<\/strong>. <\/span><\/em><\/p>

Over time<\/em>, I learned to love routines and realized that<\/strong>… instead of being a prison, they actually made me even freer, more productive<\/strong> and… whether I followed them or not… was still a daily option\/choice. <\/em><\/span>And that changed so much<\/strong> in my life<\/em>. It made me feel more centered<\/em><\/strong>, with more energy<\/em><\/strong>, and yet I still felt free<\/strong>, because I learned that a routine didn\u2019t have to be rigid or feel like an obligation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

I also learned<\/em> that my routine couldn\u2019t be generic.<\/strong><\/span> It needed to move with me, make me feel good, and make sense for my life.<\/strong> And <\/span>there are, of course, some practices that will be more consistent in your life\u2026<\/em> eating, brushing your teeth, moving your body, working, sleeping, enjoying life. <\/span>But others will change with you<\/em>, depending on your menstrual phase<\/em>, if you menstruate, the season of the year<\/em>, your mood<\/em> that day, and the stage of life<\/em> you\u2019re in.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

And incorporating these changes<\/strong> (the internal ones that are uniquely yours, and the external ones)<\/em> doesn\u2019t mean that you will stop doing something<\/em><\/strong>, but rather that you adapt.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Your routine<\/em> should work for you and support you, not become another source of suffering or a burden in your life<\/em><\/strong>. <\/span>There are days<\/em><\/strong> when a walk may be exactly what makes you feel good<\/strong><\/em>. <\/span>On others<\/em>, going for a walk may feel like a demand when all you really want is to lie down for a while and be still.<\/em><\/strong><\/span> Or a walk may even feel like too little on a day when you want to use up that extra energy.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

You change<\/strong><\/em>. <\/span>So do nature and the environment around you<\/em>. And <\/span>your ideal routine moves with that rhythm and helps you<\/strong> navigate those changes<\/em>, rather than making your life more difficult.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
