How to Have a Birthday Routine?

Birthdays can be fun, joyful, and filled with lots of activities that keep everyone busy. However, celebrating your birthday can leave you feeling tired and make you want to have a day off the next day. Also, you might want to do more self-care after the birthday party is over. Nonetheless, you can have a birthday routine before you attend your birthday party or do your birthday activities with your family. Your birthday routine can help you reduce your stress and feel calm before you answer your family's or friend's questions. 

Begin with planning a self-care activity, meditation, and relaxing activities one week before your birthday. Write your plans in a bullet point list or on a journal page. Next, get the necessary items that you might need such as essential oils, lotions, bath salts, or other items for your care. As well as planning your self-care care meals and snacks. Additionally, begin writing in your journal to do self-reflection before your birthday. 

Have a spa day at home and practice self-reflection with your journal. Practice mindful eating during your self-care meals and snacks. Add yoga poses or do dynamic stretching in the morning or in the evening. Practice meditation as you walk and enjoy that moment as you breathe slowly. Notice your surroundings and hum a tune as you walk. 

If you are walking in your garden, sing as you walk slowly. Another way is to play classical music as you walk in your garden. Moreover, sit on a garden bench and write a self-reflective poem before your birthday. Dedicate some time for yourself to practicing self-care and self-love. Wash your hair with a different scented shampoo and slowly wash your hair. 

Another tip is to use different body soap or body wash to help you relax before your birthday. Next, select an outfit that makes you feel cheerful and look forward to celebrating your birthday. Look at family scrapbooks and write down your emotions in your journal. You can also use birthday journal prompts to help you write. Nevertheless, read something inspiring and drink a hot beverage to relax. 

On the day of your birthday, have a spa day, journaling day, or divide your relaxing activities into segments. If you must work on your birthday, you can do dynamic stretching in the morning or yoga poses. Make your breakfast early and practice journaling how you feel about celebrating your birthday. If you feel less happiness, remember that a birthday is another opportunity to continue advancing in your self-improvement. Also, take care of yourself and manage your emotions. 

After you come back from work, wash your hair, or take a warm bath. Spend fifteen minutes to read and write in your journal. Meditate as you take a bath. Next, get ready for your birthday dinner with your friends and family. Here is a list of other activities that you can do before you celebrate your birthday. 

1. Trim your nails or do another personal hygiene activity as a form of self-care. 
2. Read a book that can inspire you to focus on your self-awareness, self-discovery, and self-acceptance. 
3. Select traveling to a place where you can feel grateful, comfortable, and feel joyful for two to four hours before celebrating your birthday. 
4. Have one or two days for yourself as you prepare for your birthday celebration. 
5. Select comfortable clothing for your self-care activities and for your self-reflective writing activities. 
6. Select different scented perfume, lotion, or essential oils to help you relax before going to your birthday party. 
7. Tell your family or friends how you want to celebrate your birthday.
8. Manage your emotions and practice gratitude, meditation, or mindfulness activities. 
9. Have one or two hours for yourself and practice journaling, positive affirmations, or birthday quotes.
10. Purchase something for yourself and without telling anyone what you bought for yourself. 

Last, celebrating your birthday with a meal, a movie night, or other relaxing activities can help you feel less stress. Having a birthday routine is helpful so you feel less tension, frustration, and other negative emotions especially when you are less joyful about celebrating your birthday. Sometimes birthdays can make you feel depressed and feel loneliness. Seek professional guidance to help you celebrate your birthday and to feel comfortable in celebrating yourself.
