Self-care. It is one of the most important elements of a healthy relationship with our bodies, minds, and spirits, yet it can also be one of the most difficult practices to implement in our busy lifestyles. It can be easy to forget about ourselves as we daily care for our jobs, families, and communities, maybe watch a show before bed, then repeat the cycle. We may add exercise into the mix every once in a while and we eat our fruits and veggies but that does not necessarily mean we are practicing self care. Self-care is more than checking off our health and wellness boxes. Self-care is an intentional experience you give to yourself in order to rejuvenate and reconnect with the peace, joy, and happiness that is inside of you.
A tangible way to practice self-care is to create a regular care treatment that you can do at home on a consistent basis. Creating your own at-home spa inspired experience is a simple way to de-stress from a busy lifestyle and an active mind. A spa experience is not the only way to practice self care but it is a helpful way to turn off distractions and be fully present for yourself.
