September wellness bingo: A guide to loving yourself

As September rolls in, it’s a time of change—summer fades, and the first hints of fall start to appear. It’s the perfect moment to slow down and focus on something incredibly important: loving yourself. 

This month’s Wellness Bingo isn’t just about checking off boxes—it’s about finding simple ways to show yourself some love every day. Let’s dive into how each activity can help you connect with and care for yourself.

Spend an hour in nature

There’s something magical about stepping outside and letting nature do its thing. Whether it’s a stroll in the park or just sitting quietly in your backyard, spending time in nature can really help you hit the reset button. It’s a great way to clear your mind and remind yourself that, just like the trees and flowers, you’re a part of something beautiful.

Try a new journaling prompt

If you’ve ever kept a journal, you know how good it feels to get your thoughts down on paper. This month, why not try a new journaling prompt that helps you focus on self-love? Write about what makes you proud of yourself or how you’ve grown over the past year. Journaling like this can give you a fresh perspective on your journey and help you appreciate the person you’re becoming.

Make a list of affirmations

Affirmations might feel a little cheesy at first, but they’re incredibly powerful. They’re like little pep talks you give yourself. Try making a list of affirmations that really resonate with you—things like “I am enough just as I am” or “I deserve happiness and love.” The more you repeat them, the more they start to stick, helping you build a stronger, more loving relationship with yourself.

Take a mental health day

We all have those days when everything feels a bit too much. That’s when taking a mental health day can be a game-changer. Whether you spend it lounging in your PJs, catching up on your favorite shows, or doing something creative, giving yourself permission to take a break is one of the most loving things you can do for yourself. It’s okay to hit pause and recharge.

Create a vision board for fall

Vision boards aren’t just for big dreams—they’re for the little things that make life sweet, too. This September, why not create a fall-themed vision board filled with everything that makes you happy? Think about the cozy nights, the goals you want to achieve, and the little joys you want to focus on. Every time you look at it, you’ll be reminded of the life you’re working towards and the love you’re showing yourself by setting those intentions.
