75 Self-Care Saturday Ideas That Will Make You Excited to Relax

self care saturday

Self-care Saturdays are a great way to relax and rejuvenate after a long week. It’s a day for you to practice self-care without distraction.

Some of us may not have the time during the week to take care of ourselves, so dedicating a day to self-care is important. They can be whatever you want them to be, as long as they involve taking some time for themselves.

In this blog post, we will share 75 self-care Saturday ideas that will make you excited to relax! Whether you want to spend time with friends or a partner, take a nature walk, or indulge in some pampering, we have something for everyone.

What Do You Do for Self-Care on a Saturday?

Saturday self-care is all about taking care of YOU. It’s no different than any other day of the week when it comes to taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional needs.

However, dedicating a day to self-care can help you feel less guilty about taking time for yourself and can remind you how important it is to do so. Saturdays are synonymous with relaxation days and there’s nothing better than using that to your advantage by doing things that make you feel good.

Self-Care Myths

Before we get into the different ways you can spend your self-care Saturday, let’s debunk some myths about self-care.

One myth is that self-care is selfish. This couldn’t be further from the truth! Caring for yourself allows you to be in a better headspace to take care of others. A stressed person is a person who runs the risk of burning out.

Another myth is that self-care has to be expensive. This is also not true! There are plenty of free or low-cost ways to take care of yourself. It’s all about taking the time to do things that make you feel good, regardless of the price tag.

The last myth we’ll debunk is that self-care is time-consuming. This may be true for some activities (such as getting a massage or taking a yoga class) but there is plenty of self-love Saturday practices that can be done in under five minutes (such as writing in a journal or taking a quick walk outside).
