Boost your happiness and sense of wellbeing with our self care activities for February, quick, fun and fulfilling activities for the family.
What Is Self Care?
Simply looking after yourself – putting time and effort into choosing to do activities that make you feel good and promote happiness and wellbeing. It feels good to feel good!
What Are Self Care Activites
They can literally be anything that makes you feel good – as simple as spending 5 minutes meditating or 10 minutes sitting with your feet up and a cup of tea. Maybe taking a 10 minute walk each day or even just making a to-do list or organising your day so it runs more smoothly – anything that promotes good feelings and wellbeing.

Self Care Ideas
We LOVE our feel good monthly challenges – it just takes a little focus and effort each day to make sure I always squeeze in something that’s nice, makes me happy or is just good for my wellbeing.
So Here’s Our Feel Good Activities And Plans For Febuary
Blast away the winter blues with our fabulous feel good February ideas. We’ve planned a totally feel-good February and best of all it’s easily achievable!
1 – Head Outdoors
Blow away the cobwebs with an outdoor walk – stay local and within the permitted restrictions…
2 – Meditate
Spend a few minutes each day meditating, it’s fab for helping you relax and re-focus on what’s important. I really like the Take A Break meditation app – just 7 minutes and it leaves me feeling refreshed.
3 – Mother – Daughter Home Spa
Spend some quality time with your girls with our fab home spa ideas.
4 – Take A Trip To The Museum
Obviously, we’re still quite restricted with days out etc…. so heading off to a local museum and discovering something new isn’t possible at the moment. Check out some of the amazing online tours and virtual experiences from The Natural History Museum here.
5 – Plant Up Some Spring Bulbs
It’s still not too late to plant up some spring bulbs, they’ll look lovely by the front door.
6 – Chocolate Cake

Spend a little time in the kitchen and bake your own chocolate cake… maybe this cheat chocolate cake here or buy one. Either way, get the kettle on and invite a friend for coffee, gossip and chocolate cake. Perfect.

Always room in your life for a bunch of flowers. And springtime brings tulips and daffodils which I just love!
