Happy May! How exciting is it that summer is almost here? If you are a mom to school age kids, these few weeks before summer break starts are CRAZY! It seems like every last field trip, school picnic, field day and school project are crammed into these last few weeks..am I right?

While May can be a crazy time for parents, it’s us also a time to get organized before the kids are home all summer long! Last May, my husband and I devised a “Get on Track” plan that helped us get mentally and physically ready for the summer transition. And this May, I decided to do a similar month long self care challenge!

I’d love you to join me in my 30 Day Self Care Challenge! The best thing about this plan is that you can customize it however you want. Set some personal goals to take care of yourself!

This 30 Day Self Care Plan can be started any time of the year!

Self Care Ideas

Life moves at such a rapid pace these days. Being busy is worn as a badge of honor. It sometimes seems like no one wants to admit that have a moment to spare to relax. Taking time to crash on the couch with a good book…how often do any of us really do that?

Sometimes, when we think of self-care, our mind goes to fun and indulgent ideas like a spa day, vacation or a shopping trip. But, while all of those things are really nice, we need to make sure we are covering the basics of caring for ourselves.

Self care daily habits like drink enough water, spending a time putting the phone away, talking to a family member of friend are just some of the essentials we need in order to thrive. Most self care ideas do not cost any money!

Daily Self Care Checklist

For the next 30 days, I am challenging you to join me in a Self Care Challenge! You can decide what you want your self care goals to be! I suggest focusing on some simple (but meaningful) healthy goals.

These are my personal goals for a self care routine. Your self care list will probably look different from mine…and that is okay!

Daily Yoga Practice

I started a daily yoga routine while on vacation last week. I have always found yoga to be a great stress relieving activity yet I do not make the time for it very often. Perhaps I had more time on vacation (nice to not have to keep a house clean all week..among a lot of other things!) to spend time doing yoga. But I am planning to incorporate 15-20 minutes of yoga into my morning routine. Sometimes I follow a YouTube video and other times I just “go with the flow” 🙂

Drink 2 Glasses of Water Before Morning Coffee

It is so tempting to head straight to the coffee maker every morning. However, I want to be better at getting hydrated before I drink my morning coffee. I always feel so much better when I stay on top of my water intake.

Write in Gratitude Journal

You can read more about my family’s new gratitude journals in Monday’s post. As May will be a hectic month, it will be good to focus on some daily peace and gratitude.

Simple ideas for a self care routine #moms #checklist #freeprintable #worksheet

10,000 Steps Per Day

I am hoping it won’t be too hard to get 10,000 steps a day in this month. We spend a lot more time outdoors taking walking and being active as the weather warms up!

Stick to a Meal Plan

When in doubt, plan it out:) There will be a lot of busy evenings this month with sports and other activities. So, I want to be sure to stick to a weekly meal plan. We eat better and save a lot of money when we eat at home. I’ll be following our weekly dinner themes to stay on track.

Schedule Two Date Nights

It is easy to let date nights slide when you are running the kids around all week. I want to get two date nights set on the calendar.

What self care goals do you want to set for yourself?

I was actually thinking about getting a gratitude journal. I suffer from depression and get down in the dumps a lot but I have so many things to be thankful for. My daughter is 9 and she sure is a blessing!
The 10000 step challenge is a great one here too! I work from home as a blogger and I love unplugging and taking my dog for very brisk walks. I wear a FitBit ALL THE TIME and 10,000 steps is my daily goal.

This is an awesome idea! I really like your planner because if you leave it to happen whenever it won’t happen. Even as a mom of adult kids it seems there still isn’t time!

Great tips and these are practical enough to implement! The weekly meal planning is so hard for me but in the end so helpful
