New Year’s Self-Care Checklist {FREE Printable}
This year is FINALLY coming to a close. With everything that happened, it felt like it’s been 2020 for 10 years. 2020 was supposed to be the year we lived our best lives. It was going to be the roaring ’20s 2.0. Instead, it was the year of Murphy’s Law, and everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Despite there being some positives, the year overall was mentally, emotionally, and physically draining.
No one wants to go into the new year feeling frazzled. That’s why this self-care checklist is crucial to getting you (and me) back on the path of remembering to do the little things. Contrary to popular belief, self-care doesn’t have to cost a bundle. At its bare bones self-care is really about taking time out to do things that keep our lives flowing smoothly. This can look like a few moments of reflective meditation, making sure all your health appointments are scheduled, taking time out to phone a loved one.
This checklist features 15 simple everyday activities that are meant to bring peace and calm to your body and environment. The best thing about this is (other than it being free) you two designs to choose from to print, or you can save the PDF on your device and digitally check off things there. The key is ensuring this list is going to be someplace where you will see it every day.
There is no right or wrong way to use this self-care checklist. You can simply tick off a few at your leisure and come back to the others later, you can break them up over the course of January, or you can challenge yourself to complete one new thing for 15 consecutive days. The choice is truly yours.
On this list you’ll find the following:
Setting goals for the new year
Starting a new book or journal
Scheduling work and health appointments
Cleaning up your computer files (Shameless Maya has a great video on this)
Meditation, working out, and eating right
Creating morning and evening routines
Turning off social media
Calling a friend

Undated Wellness Calendar For Black Women {FREE Printable}
This undated Wellness Calendar is a free printable download that features Black women in the wellness space.
Why a calendar centered around Black women?
Why Black women? Well, if you didn’t notice I AM a Black woman and as a member of the planner community, I’m always looking for planners and other accessories that reflect who I am. You see, I don’t just want to see myself represented with certain brand collaborations. I’m looking for planners and calendars that have been created specifically for me. And the sad thing is there isn’t much in this niche. So because I haven’t seen it, I created it. I know what I’ve been looking for and if I’ve been looking for it, I know others have been too and it’s long overdue that we get it.
Why a wellness-themed calendar?
As I have mentioned before there really is a lack of wellness-based calendars and planners on the market. I mean, sure you can take any ole calendar/planner and with enough tailoring make it suit your wellness needs but why should you. If we can get a dozen variations of teacher, faith, sport, and mommy planners (not that I have a problem with any of those), surely we can get a wellness planner. No, not a fitness planner. That’s totally different. I mean wellness. Yes, there can be a hint of fitness but instead of this planner telling you when it’s leg day a wellness planner will tell you it’s time to rest your legs. See the difference?
What does this Wellness Calendar feature?
In addition to 12 images of Black women, (see images above) this calendar features a monthly calendar that includes a general goal and to-do list, a monthly wellness list, and a self-care tracker for you to monitor how much self-care you’ve taken for the month. And before you ask, there is no such thing as too much self-care. You take it when you need it without the guilt of doing so. The blank notes space is for you to jot down your next meditation session, words of wisdom, or your upcoming doctor’s appointment. It’s completely up to you.How to get your undated Wellness Calendar
