We’re officially two months into the new year. Have you already given up your New Year’s resolutions? Don’t worry, you can tell us. This is a safe space.

Even if you’ve given up on your bigger goals for the year, one thing you shouldn’t give up on is prioritising self-care. Remember, you’re stuck with you for the rest of your life, so you better make sure you take care of yourself. 

Life can be a chaotic rollercoaster. While you can’t get off the ride, you can find ways to make it a bit smoother. Here are a few easy ways you can add self-care rituals to your routine to help protect your mental wellness, and how subscriptions can make it easier. 

Create a Calm Environment

A clean mind starts with a clean room. Our environment plays an important role in our mental wellbeing. When we feel overwhelmed, often our spaces start to become cluttered. A messy space can contribute to further stress, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating. 

You need to clean your room. We know we sound a bit like your parents, but sometimes they know a thing or two. Cleaning can help give you a sense of control and security, help you focus, release some happy endorphins that can act as a stress reliever, and force you to slow down – which in turn can help you learn how to regulate your emotions over the long term. 

If you need extra assistance, a robot vacuum will help keep your space clean while you have more time to relax and unwind. On the market for one? You can get a subscription on Rentoza right now. 

Set the Mood

The right playlist can make or break your mood. Think about it: If you’re trying to get pumped up in the gym, a slow love song won’t really do it for you. Similarly, ‘Baby Shark’ isn’t really the vibe if you’re trying to relax (or ever). Crafting the perfect playlist is an art form, and your ticket to an instant mood lift. 

Music therapy can be a powerful tool for mental wellbeing, and can help you reduce stress, improve your mood, and help you feel more grounded. Your ears deserve a symphony of self-love. Make sure you’ve got the ultimate soundtrack to guide you along your self-care journey. 

Not sure if you’re a headphone, earphone, or loudspeaker person? You should try out an audio subscription. This way, you can test out what works best for you. Rentoza has everything from headphones and earphones to speakers from top brands, and you can end or change your subscription at any time. Make your pick, and find the empowering anthems and soothing melodies to put you in the right headspace. 

Meditation Station

I know what you’re thinking - “Meditating is hard; my mind is too busy.” Well, newsflash – whose isn't? It's like saying you can't go to the gym because you're not already in shape. 

Meditation isn’t just about sitting cross-legged and humming; it's a mental detox. Think of meditation as a spa day for your brain. You want to go in for a massage, a body wrap, and a facial so you can leave feeling renewed and refreshed. 

Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace, and balance that will really help your overall health. It’s especially helpful if you’re dealing with extra stress and feeling overwhelmed because, meditation allows you to focus your mind on something calming. 

Digital Detox

We know, we know - we love technology so it feels a bit counter-intuitive to tell you to take a break from it. Well, our tagline is ‘commitment is messy’, and we mean that in every facet of life. Too much of anything is not a good thing, even technology. 

What’s a digital detox, you ask? It’s a break from technology for a period of time that you set to give your mind a vacation from the pixelated madness. 

Constant connectivity is a double-edged sword. Because you’re always connected, you’re overloaded with options and information. Taking a break allows you to see the world beyond your nearest screen. Go outside. Touch grass. Subscribe to serenity, unplug with attitude, and let your mental health do the happy dance. Trust us; your brain will thank you for the silence.

Less Commitment, More Fun

We want to limit the stress of feeling tied down by giving you the freedom to explore. Freeing your mind of constraints, rules, and strict contracts is a great way to care for your mental health. So subscribe, unwind, and elevate your mental wellness game with Rentoza. 

Commitment is messy. Just Rentoza it.
