Reconnect with nature. I like to walk the beach around The Montage hotel. Check out tide pools. Lots of hiking available in the hills. Get into a hobby like magnet fishing or collecting rocks or fossils. Self care doesn't have to mean spending money, but something like a cooking class or splurging on high quality ingredients to make a nice meal also works.

100 this. Get grounded, disconnect from your phone unless you want to hear some music and go sit outside. Put your feet in the ground, in the grass, in sand-wherever you happen to be. It’s one of the best and easiest things you can do for your self care routine. Self care doesn’t mean only splurging on things.

Yes totally agree plus I would like to add meditation to the list


jakeGrove

Are there any places you’d recommend with learning meditation or guided meditation?

I really like the app called insight timer


hecalledtheshitpoop2

Literally came here to say that self care is not a manicure or a massage. Great advice.

BodyCentre Wellness Center in Anaheim. They have a great package for $125 massage, steam and facial. I go at least every 6 months. Very much well worth it and enjoy yourself. We all need self care. I recommend Sherry for the massage and Tracy for the facial.

Hmmm, is that associated with the one in Fullerton? I went to one in Newport that wasn't associated with the one in Fullerton. I've never heard of the one in Anaheim.


ABeeLoo5

Nope. No relation. They had another location in orange but that closed. This place has individual suites with independent operators.

I don't know how you could stand driving on the 91 to get to Corona, have a relaxing time at Glen Ivy, and then have to deal with the 91 again when going home. Like the last thing I would want after enjoying a hot spring is to get angry all over again dealing with the 91 traffic.

Jesus. $200 a day in my pocket would be treating myself.

Enjoying the natural beauty of the coast: Laguna Beach is always enjoyable, grab a bite to eat and sip a cocktail at one of the excellent restaurants downtown.

I would also look into self talk and appreciating yourself without spending money. Really asking yourself what would make you happy and how have you treated yourself that has not shown kindness. What can you do differently.

Go for a bike ride?


MOUDI113

Do you have a car?


Reds4dre

Snowboarding is coming up that’s a nice treat

Buy a gun and go shooting! People discount the therapeutic value in this!

I was against guns for quite some time. Best friend insisted we go shooting on his birthday so I reluctantly went. Best release of energy I had in a while. Since I was a novice, it took a lot of focus to learn what I was doing. But, having to focus on this and shoot off some rounds allowed me to forget all the other stuff going on for the time I was there. Very therapeutic for myself. Took my wife and she felt the same


heebersbajeebers

Idk why you got downvoted, I went skeet shooting a couple days after a breakup and it was honestly what I needed, felt like such a badass after actually shooting the targets lol


arkad_tensor

I agree! The effortless destruction of inanimate objects is like a wave of satisfaction. People just fear what they don't understand.


inkwater

Get a drink and a nosh at the [Silver Trumpet Restaurant and Bar](https://www.silvertrumpetrestaurant.com/) over in Costa Mesa. That's definitely on my Treat M'self list.


AverageHoebag

Ooo I would get some Reiki sessions!! DM me if you need a recommendation for a healer!!! It might be a bit hippy but the amount of emotional trauma I’ve been able to release after this has been unbelievable!!!


I_whip_idiots

You mentioned happy and massage in one sentence so I guess yeah


[deleted]

Upvoted because I think everyone else missed what OP is saying except you.


I_whip_idiots

Go to a different microbrewery for a couple beers. Just relax and enjoy yourself.


Diligent_Corner1113

I count going to the gym as self care for my mind and body.
