7 Gentle Self-Care Habits That Helped Me Rebuild My Mental Health

When I first started my self-healing journey, I didn’t know where to begin. Everything felt overwhelming. But slowly, I began building a routine of calm and clarity — and these 7 small habits made the biggest difference:

1. Journaling 1 line a day — even on my hardest days
2. Drinking water before coffee — helped calm my anxiety
3. Letting go of perfection — embracing small wins instead
4. Turning off my phone for 30 minutes before bed
5. Using printable planners to gently bring structure to my week
6. Sitting with myself in silence — no judgment, just breath
7. Practicing kindness toward myself, even when I felt unmotivated

I created the Self-Improvement Workbook to share those exact steps — and help others like me take the first step toward healing.

Take what you need. Leave what you don’t. Come back whenever you’re ready.
