Love Yourself Challenges

by Maria Gracia Updated on October 1, 2023 Each challenge is designed to help you do things that are good for your body, mind, and soul. Just work on each of these challenges for around 15 minutes a day this month, every day of the month. 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. 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. 6. Meditate or pray. Give yourself a quiet 15 to 20 minutes every day to do so. 7. Take care of your fingernails and toenails. Keep them trimmed and clean. Use cuticle oil if your nail beds are a bit dry. 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. 12. Vow to 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 podcasts about favorite subjects. 16. Do a social media detox. Really.

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.
