Self-care can mean a lot of things - from treating yourself to a cup of tea to practising yoga every morning, but ultimately it depends on what makes you feel your very best. With a little bit of attention and self-love, you'll feel more connected to yourself and everyone else around you, which is why you should make it a priority to download these apps and implement a new weekly or monthly ritual into your routine. Not only will this help you to stay on the right path, but it will also provide you with a much-needed pick-me-up whenever you need it.

About
Let's get physical! After all, there's more to self-care than face masks. One of the greatest acts of self-care you can give yourself is exercise. Exercise improves mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, and negative mood. The TruBe app works just like Uber but instead of drivers, connects you with fitness and wellness specialists who specialise in private yoga, pilates, boxing and running workouts.

Food delivery service.

Whatever you're in the mood for.
