Five simple ways to build a weekly self-care routine

Self-care works best when it is small and repeatable, not a once-a-year splurge. Here are five habits that fit into a normal week:

1. Book recovery time like a meeting. A monthly massage or sauna visit is easier to keep when it is already on the calendar.

2. Stretch for ten minutes a day. Gentle mobility work in the morning pays off in fewer aches by evening.

3. Protect your sleep. A consistent bedtime does more for stress than almost anything else.

4. Take one screen-free hour. Give your mind the same rest you give your body.

5. Try something new each month. A facial, aromatherapy, reflexology — variety keeps the routine interesting.
