Being too busy for self-care can lead to burnout, depression, anxiety, resentment & other negative feelings. On the flipside, a daily self-care ritual can help with:
● Better sleep
● Improved focus
● Boosted confidence
● Reduced anxiety & stress
● Improved resilience
● Strengthening relationships
Rituals are meaningful practices with a deep sense of purpose, so take time out of your busy day to cultivate a self-care ritual. It doesn’t have to be long or intricate, it just has to be yours. Here are some of our suggestions to help build your ritual ’ try incorporating the ones that resonate with you.
1. Have a calming night-time routine
We think the evening is the perf time for a little TLC. It’s a great way to unwind and destress from the day that was. Some ways you can create a calming night-time routine might be using a relaxing bath milk before bed, lighting a calming soy candle and use relax& unwind essentials oilsfor the ultimate relaxation.
2. Sip & chew on goodness for your soul
Looking after your physical body is definitely a great form of self-care. Try incorporating Ashwagandha or ACV gummies into your daily routine for that extra boost of benefits & yumminess. If gummies aren’t up your alley, how about finding your new favourite turmeric latte or organic tea?
3. Mask it up
It’s no secret that face masks are synonymous with self-care. It helps give you a quiet moment to yourself while also giving you glowing skin. We love using the Cannabella Green Detox or Grown Alchemist Deep Cleansing Masque with a reusable face mask. And don’t forget your hair! Give it some extra love with an hair mask or a hair oil.
4. Practice gratitude
Take a few minutes out of your day to practice gratitude and meditate. Whether it’s first thing in the morning, or late at night, write down 10 things you’re grateful for. It’s a great practice for cultivating a more positive mindset.
5. Find your perfect skincare routine
You can’t underestimate the power of a daily skincare routine. It helps you build resilience and routine while giving you a second of calm & beautiful skin. A really good SPF sunscreen is a MUST in your routine, as is a calming moisturiser or day cream, and a sleeping mask. The most important part of this ritual is finding the morning or evening routine that works for you and your skin!
