5 tips for daily self-care!
Self-care is something many people often neglect, even though it's one of the most important things we actually need to do. Yet, we quickly prioritize others, work, daily tasks, and at the end of the day, when you're tired and have given your all. It's difficult to make space to give to yourself. That which you also give to others. (Actually, it should be more!) It creeps in, you get into a rut, and it's hard to then rearrange your daily schedule to create that space!
While you don't have to do it alone, it is up to you to take action. To choose YOU! To help you get started and perhaps inspire you. Here are some tips we apply in our daily lives. So that we can recharge, relax, and check in with ourselves.
Start with one step. Rome wasn't built in a day. Give yourself time to integrate new rituals into your life.
TIP 1:
Take a stroll!
This sounds very 'simple,' and in practice, it is. Several subsequent tips will feel this way. Often, these are precisely the things you might need to check in with yourself more and find peace after a stressful day. Phone off, just you with your thoughts. Movement helps you see things differently. Even if it's just a 10-minute walk. Get some fresh air. It works wonders. Often during these strolls, we get inspiration or the best new ideas are born. It's worth a try.
TIP 2:
A warm magnesium (foot) bath!
And not just any! It's so wonderful to bathe in warm water. We recommend taking a magnesium bath. Pure magnesium flakes help your body relax, soothe your nervous system, and are wonderfully softening for your skin. Magnesium absorbs well through the skin! You can buy magnesium here, for example: Magnesium Flakes | Magnesiumshop.nl
TIP 3:
Meditation!
We are fans of meditation. In the form that truly suits you. We find it a nice way to simply sit/lie down, focus on our breathing, and check in with ourselves. This also works wonderfully in combination with an Eyepillow. This way, you truly sink into your own bubble and eliminate external stimuli! Five minutes can be enough to gather yourself and get back to your day or fall asleep wonderfully!
TIP 4:
Take time to cook!
We have to eat every day, so we also have to cook every day! Often this is something that happens quickly in between other things. It would take five/ten minutes longer if you really took your time for it, consciously working with the ingredients. Meanwhile, you drink a nice beverage of your choice, put on some music. We always consciously put the intention of love and health into our food when we are preparing it. Little effort, big result.
TIP 5:
Mirror!
It probably takes you no effort at all to give compliments to those you love. They are scattered like confetti. Do you do this for yourself too? Challenge yourself! Every time you look in the mirror, say something kind to yourself! You're doing great, you've worked so hard today, I'm proud of myself, I'm doing my best, or give yourself a pat on the back. You deserve it. Be your own biggest cheerleader!
Some tips seem too easy or too simple. As a result, many people don't apply them. Why should I do that? That won't help. But try them first for a period before you draw a conclusion! Of course, create a ritual for yourself that suits you and makes you happy.
