Self-care is one of the most important things in our opinion.
When we take good care of ourselves, we can better care for others, and we generally go through life more pleasantly! We also believe that the power to take good care of yourself lies within you. A little support now and then certainly doesn't hurt!
1. Magnesium flakes or salt! Something we use at least once a week in a bath or foot bath. Especially as we move towards the last months of the year, everyone can benefit from this. Magnesium helps you relax and is good for your nervous system!
2. Weighted eye pillow. This cannot be missing from this list, of course. Our weighted eye pillows are equipped with very pure products. The weight of the pillow can help you relax even more easily. There are also different scents and gemstones you can choose from to experience optimal relaxation! Check here for our current offer! --> Products – Eyepillow
3. Art. This may be a surprising item on the list. But art certainly contributes to self-care. A beautiful piece of art by an artist you admire can bring a smile to your face every day. For us, laughter definitely belongs in the self-care category! This is an artist we are very happy with --> Shop - Rhea of Light
4. Books. This doesn't have to be a self-improvement book. It can be, if that's what you like. We are mainly talking about books that you can just get lost in. Books that truly transport you to another world. The Harry Potter series makes us truly disappear into another (magical) world!
5. Candles. But safe candles for your environment and yourself. Without chemicals and with pure materials. The scents and atmosphere can contribute to a pleasant feeling and relaxation. This is a brand we recommend. --> Tyler Aromatherapy - Mood Essential Oil Candles
6. Acupressure mat. One that absolutely cannot be missed on our list. We use our acupressure mat (almost) daily. Good for relaxation, blood circulation, and general health. A brand we recommend and that is affordable is FLOWMAT. Check here for the products they offer. --> Flowmat.nl
7. Weighted blanket. You feel safe and secure when lying under a weighted blanket. It feels like a safe place where you can truly relax. Action regularly has these in stock. --> Weighted blanket incl. soft cover | Action Webshop
8. Hot water bottle. This sounds so simple, but it can provide so much comfort! A hot water bottle in bed. Or a hot water bottle on the couch with a cup of tea and a good series can do wonders.
9. Aromatherapy diffuser. This helps you achieve a calm state of being. Make sure you use pure oil in your diffuser, and if you have pets, also pay attention to the scent. Pets cannot tolerate all scents.
10. Journal. Writing can sometimes provide much-needed clarity in times of unrest. It's good to write down your thoughts to create an overview. Perhaps you'll never read them again, but at least you've gotten them out!
We are curious which self-care items you use. Please let us know!
By relaxing regularly, the body recovers faster.
