“Self-care” has become a top buzzword the past couple of years … but what does it actually mean? Here at The Everygirl, we believe it doesn’t mean just one thing; one face mask that can change your life or a one-off moment of meditation. To us, self-care means anything and everything that gets your body, mind, and life healthier and happier—and that will look different for everyone.
To help you visualize, track, and commit to your goals, we’ve put together a six-week guide to get you to your best, happiest, and healthiest self. This course is about getting to know yourself and what “self-care” truly looks like to you, so you can keep up your health and happiness long after the 42 days are over. We reached out to experts in a variety of fields, from nutrition to psychology to skincare, for their advice and input on a few of the different areas that make up a life well-lived. The result is over 100 pages of guidance, worksheets, and challenges designed to help you redefine and rediscover self-care in your life.
How does the course work?
Our six-week self-care challenge is an online course you can work through, completely at your own pace. We built the course to work around your life and schedule, so you can pick it up whenever you have time; whether that’s Tuesday nights with a glass of wine or Sunday mornings with an industrial vat of coffee or anywhere in between.
The course is divided into six themes, one for each week, with challenges and worksheets for each day. The weeks are structured as follows:
At the end of the course, there’s a space for rest and reflection—to help you determine what strategies worked for you throughout the course and what habits you can implement into your life moving forward.
What’s included in the course?
Each week of the course centers around a theme—mental health, nutrition, relationships, etc.—and includes daily activities and challenges relating back to that theme. For example, week one is all about your mental health. On Monday, you’ll assess what self-care means to you. On Tuesday, you’ll take our guided quiz to determine your personal mantra. On Wednesday, you’re challenged to spend 30 minutes in nature. And so on for the rest of the week. Each day is accompanied by guided notes, worksheets, and advice from experts.
Also included in the course is an invitation to our course specific Facebook group, where Everygirl editors will be popping in as we complete the challenges in office. You’ll also have a chance to connect with other course attendees and form a self-care community.
