The Self-Care Guide for Lazy People

Who has the time to write a lengthy entry every day about your innermost thoughts and dreams? Ugh, not us. Instead, we’re all about one-word journaling, the low-key ritual where you pick a word that captures the spirit of your day—no other requirements or restrictions. Simple.

Here’s an easy stretch that will elongate your spine and feel ah-mazing. (But chilling out in child’s pose is also totally acceptable.)

You and your squad text on a regular basis, but next time you’re walking to an appointment or waiting for the bus, pick up the phone for a quick chat with your bestie. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make a typically-dull activity way more fun.
