What are your best self care tips?

Hi Everyone,
I thought it might be a nice idea to start a thread sharing our favourite self care tips - things that we know we can turn to that will make us feel a little better, a little calmer etc. Creating like a big tool kit of self care tips
I'll start the thread off with a few simple things that I enjoy which include

I'll start the thread off with a few simple things that I enjoy which include
- Music - headphones in, zone out from the world, feel all the emotions and maybe even end with a dance party for one haha!
- Exercise - especially good for when I'm feeling overwhelmed, it helps me to focus on just one thing (the workout) just to settle my mind for a moment
- Baking

what helps me is reading , Listening to the radio , watching tv and a nice warm relaxing bath
something that makes me more closer to myself and made me more happy and calm it is: take a long shower, for next its make a hot chamomile tea and watch a calm and reflective movie (girl, interrupted its my favorite); others things that help its just write down the bad feelings or single words on paper.
I do my nails, hair etc. put on a face mask... I love self-care!
Also walks in nature, staring at the night sky, being creative and making things (painting, songwriting, etc) and dancing
I also have home ‘spa days’ where I wash my hair and paint my nails while listening to a crime podcast.
Laughter is the best self care! And your spa days sound dreamy
Skin care routine. I have 2 different ones, for morning and night and the routine in the night helps me wash the day off my face and feel fresh again.
I honestly recommend a skin care routine.
