Begin your Sunday self care with gentle stretches in bed. Reach your arms overhead, wiggle your toes, or roll your neck side to side. Those simple movements will wake your body without jolting it awake. Let the soft embrace of your sheets support your limbs as you stretch and prioritize self care.

Sipping something warm while still sunk into your pillows is an extremely easy way to engage in self care, romanticize your Sunday mornings and recharge. Whether it’s tea, coffee, or cocoa, the caffeine in them (even if it's in a small amount) will help you feel more energized. In addition, take your time while drinking the beverage of your choice - let each sip anchor your awareness, feeling the warmth, the aroma, the softness around you. This simple act allows you to focus on the now.

Let your thoughts flow onto the page. Writing in bed is a form of self care, whether you write grateful lists, dreams, or reflections, and it honors your mind and gives clarity. It also keeps you thankful for what you have, which ultimately gives you energy for the day ahead. Use soft lighting and comfy pillows so the act feels like a desirable choice, not a chore, making self care more likeable .

If you want structure when engaging in this type of self care, try bullet points in your journal:

• Morning thoughts or gratitude

• What you hope to shift this week

• Moments from the previous day you felt proud of

• Highlights of the previous day or week

Close your eyes and take slow, deep breaths. Whether guided or solo, meditation in bed is one of the greatest self care practices, as it grounds you, letting your mind settle while your body relaxes into softness. Use this time to observe what’s present, without judgment.

Pull out a favorite book and let your stress and worries drift away. Reading in bed is one of the best things to do as part of your self care, as it slows your thinking, stirs imagination, and offers rest without sleep. Let your mind wander into different worlds while enjoying the comfort of your mattress, supported by cozy layers.

Whether it's an audiobook, an episode of your favorite podcast, or uplifting music, listening to content is a low-effort self care activity that will definitely help you recharge. We tend to relate self care only to our physical body, when in reality it expands beyond that—and nourishing our mind is definitely a way to care for our well-being and maintain good energy.

As a little recommendation, using eye-appealing bedding and pillowcases sets a visual mood that matches the audio calm and energizing vibe. The coordination between environment and sound enhances self care in bed. Letting your mind drift with sound restores mental freshness and recharges your sense of motivation.

Treat your skin with kindness before properly getting up. Apply hydrating cream, smooth on a mask, or use a roller while lying back. Let each motion be slow, each breath soft. This is more than routine, it’s an act of kindness, self care, and love towards your body.

For this little self care ritual, in addition to the products you use, your pajamas or loungewear will be your best allies to make it feel extra special and even luxurious or elevated. Soft materials like satin or cotton will make you feel like you're in a spa, enjoying the best of services and care, which will boost your energy and lift up your mood.

Speaking kindly to yourself is the self care practice by excellence. Sit upright and look in a mirror. Take a few deep breaths and start remembering all the good things you have in your life to set the right energy. Then, whisper or think affirmations such as:

• “I am enough”

• “I attract great things”

• “I deserve softness”

Sometimes the best way of self care, the best way to recharge is through connection. Pick up your phone or laptop and call a friend, family member, or someone who makes you feel seen and heard. Sharing little stories, catching up after a long time, laughing together, or just listening can lift your energy and quiet mental clutter.

This simple act of connection counts as self care in bed - there's no need to get up or change your space. Cozy under your blankets, let the conversation soothe you, and notice how your mood brightens. Meaningful interaction can be just as restorative as a nap or a moment of quiet, giving you warmth and mental clarity for the rest of your Sunday.

If your body calls for rest, listen to it. Self care also means being aware of what your body needs. A short nap - 20 to 30 minutes - restores energy without leaving you disoriented. Keep things low-light, cozy, and quiet.

Slide under our Coquette Tencel Silky Ruffle Bedding Set or a similarly soft set. Use layers to buffer sound and light. This isn’t laziness, it’s a renewal of your energy and an essential part of self care in bed. A well-timed nap recharges both body and mind, leaving you more alert and productive afterwards.

You don’t need an elaborate retreat or expensive plans to recharge. Self care in bed is about slowing down, choosing softness, and honoring rest. It’s about rituals small and kind: stretches, warm drinks, affirmations, naps. 

With Ever Lasting’s thoughtful pieces (cozy bedding sets, delicate pillowcases, gentle textures, and calming décor) these rituals become woven into your bedroom life. Let Sundays (or any day) be the moment you start implementing self care into your life.

Life's too short not to take care of yourself ♡
