Try “Alexa, give me self-care tips”

We all need reminders to take care of ourselves. Enter Alexa, who has loads of easy tips to make things a little lighter. 

Just say, “Alexa, give me self-care tips.”

You may get a reminder to prevent stress by planning ahead, or how a simple act like opening the door for someone else can improve your mood. Or it could be advice on redoing your bedroom for better sleep, or recs on top-rated bath products.

Some of the tips stand alone. For others, you can say “Tell Me More”—and she’ll take you to a related upbeat Amazon Music playlist or suggest items you can buy, like an alarm clock that awakens you gently rather than jolting you out of bed. (Alexa’s ascending alarm feature is a game-changer if you haven’t tried it!)

When you want another idea, say Next.

It’s a great way to start your day, and start practicing simple steps to a happier, healthier you.
