TAKE BATHS

Demi is a big fan of taking relaxing baths. “I love Epsom salt baths,” she spills. “Even doing something small like that for yourself is a form of self-care.”

EMBRACE YOUR EMOTIONS

When Demi is having a hard day, she isn’t afraid to cry about it — without judging herself. “It’s such a good way to get all your emotions out,” she explains.

ZEN OUT

Taking time to chill can make a big difference in how you feel. One of Demi’s favorite ways to relax is by meditating. “I meditate in the morning and take ten minutes out of my day to read inspiratio­nal quotes that I’ve come up with on my own,” she reveals.

PAMPER YOURSELF

Doing something special for yourself every so often, like going to the spa, can instantly make you feel good about yourself. “I try to get a facial once every three months from this place called Blue Medi Spa,” Demi reveals.

STAY WELL-RESTED

“Sleep is important,” Demi explains. “Taking care of myself by making sure I get enough sleep helps with my internal stress and helps me feel pumped.”

EXERCISE

You’ll be surprised by how much being active can impact your mood. “I find that it’s important for me to get some sort of physical exercise, even if it’s just walking for my mind,” she says.

BLOCK HATERS

We’re not saying you have to completely cut out social media, but being on 24/7 and reading negative comments can affect your mental health. That’s why Demi says she started blocking haters. Now, she doesn’t get impacted by bad vibes online. “I love blocking people,” she confesses. “It’s just

so great not having to deal with hate on my feed.”

GET A MANI

“Everyone has their thing, and, for me, it’s my nails,” she smiles. “It sounds silly, but if I go weeks without getting my nails done, I must find an hour to get a manicure. It just makes me feel better.”

DON’T OVERDO IT

Sometimes you might feel like you can’t say no, but Demi says you totally can. “Do what’s best for you,” she suggests. “I know I love myself the most when I’m taking care of myself.”

BE KIND TO YOURSELF

When it comes to self-care, how you treat yourself is crucial. “I feel like beauty comes from within, and exudes out, so the love that you have for yourself is important,” Demi opens up.
