What is Your Self-Care Routine?

Hi! I’m Inga

I am passionate about helping women transform their mindsets and embrace self-worth, overcome the barriers that hinder their ability to become their best versions, and establish loving relationships with their partners, themselves, and others.

What Is a Self-Care Routine

A happier and healthier person needs a good self-care routine and ways to nurture yourself.

Benefits of self-care routine

There are many forms of self-care.

There is self-care that nourishes your body – like healthy meals, yoga, a long shower or relaxing bath, massage, and exercise.

It nourishes your mind – like learning a new language, taking an online course, listening to music, calming breathing sequences, getting sufficient sleep, reading a book, creating a vision board, and meditating.

Nourishes your spirit – like journaling about your day, spending time alone, praying, being in nature, spending more time with your kids, leaving a job you hate, and traveling.

How to start a self-care routine

The best self-care involves activities that make you feel happy, confident, and refreshed.

So, how do you fit more of what you love into your day when building a career, caring for children or elderly parents, and running errands on a busy schedule?

Self-care routine ideas

The best self-care routines involve 10 to 15-minute activities. This short time frame allows the activity to become a healthy, restorative habit.

Plus, with consistency, you see the results of your self-care routine rather than just being a once-every whenever you can act.

1. Small everyday steps

Optimize your day. Before you head out of bed, take a minute to be thankful for what you have and three minutes to meditate and visualize your upcoming day in the best possible scenario.

Give yourself enough time to enjoy a slow shower and your morning meal.

Find 10 minutes to be quiet and just for yourself, without looking at the phone or e-mails while drinking your morning tea or coffee.

Snack on fruits, and try to eat healthier for lunch.

Drink water and stay hydrated on the go.

Skip the elevator and use the stairs.

If you have kids or an addiction to your device, recharge when they are recharging.

When you log off your work computer, mentally unplug from work as well. I have written a blog about unplugging and cutting the cords; you can read it here. This practice can be used to cut the general energy cords we collect throughout the day for different people and events.

2. Do more of what you love

Any activity you enjoy that feels natural and authentic will naturally make you want to make more time for it in your day. It will become a priority, and life is always about our choices and making our priorities.

So, what do you love? What would you be willing to put aside distractions and make time for?

Make yourself a priority!

3. Learning to say No

No is a complete word; no explanation is needed. Learn to say no to anything that disturbs your peace.

Remember, “Someone else’s demand is not necessarily your call to action.” This will help you create healthy boundaries so you can enjoy your newfound self-care routine without feeling guilty.

“Thank you so much, Inga! My daughter accomplished more in one session with you than she has in over three years of traditional therapy and seems to have been transformed in less than a couple of days. I can’t wait to see how much she progresses as she continues her sessions with you!”

– Sandra Watson,

“I am a firm believer that the mind controls our body and that we can tell our mind to do almost anything. I believe in the saying: “If you can conceive it, if you believe it, you can achieve it”. I enjoy your class so much. Your voice is so beautiful and soothing. You make learning so easy for us to learn so many interesting things. Thank you for all your help and for being you!”.

“Inga is a wealth of knowledge and helped me overcome struggles that I wasn’t ready to let go of in my close relationships. She helps me see things from a different perspective (mind-body-spirit). I appreciate her well rounded approach and the variety of resources she provides. For example, her segment in the book Mastery of the Mind reminded me to mentally detox my self-berating habit. Her meditations are powerfully spot on to help lower stressful moments for me. I’d describe Inga as a compassionate, caring, highly intelligent, and immensely helpful professional. If you’re struggling with relationships or want to improve your interpersonal development, I highly recommend you try her out”.

– Lynda Lee,

Scottsdale, Arizona

“Inga pours a lifetime of expertise, insight, and knowledge into her sessions with clients, who inevitably walk away with a richer understanding of themselves (and resources they can turn to after the end of the session to revive that spark of understanding). Personally, I learned a lot about myself, namely the forces that were afflicting me to the point of being recommended to visit her by a dear friend. She is the first person who successfully performed hypnotherapy for/on me, and I am grateful for that experience to this day (years after the fact). 100% recommended for anyone open to healing and being heard by a master of her craft.”.

“My very first guided imagery session was with Inga. She took the time to explain to me what hypnotherapy is, what to expect, and how to work towards achieving the desired outcome. Inga is a gifted therapist with a natural ability to connect with her clients. Her voice is calming and soothing. Inga’s presence and energy are positive and uplifting. My experience couldn’t have been any better. I highly recommend Inga to anyone who is looking for a great experience.”

– Stephanie Vlasich,

Tempe, Arizona

“Inga is very positive and welcoming. She takes all of the client’s concerns into consideration, offers great imagery, and uses very positive techniques and great feedback. The setting is very relaxing, and her thoughts are complete with a soothing voice. Very calm and relaxing. Thank you, Inga.
