MAKE TIME FOR SELF-CARE

‘It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary’. Mandy Hale

What is self-care? Self-care is not the indulgent luxury we may perceive it to be. It is making a conscious effort to promote your own physical and mental wellbeing with the intention of enhancing your energy and reducing your life stresses. Self-care can fall into five different areas: Physical: the movement of your body, your fitness and sleep patterns, health, rest, and nutrition. Emotional: acknowledging your feelings, love, and kindness for yourself and those around you, dealing with stress effectively, and developing compassion and forgiveness. Social: surrounding yourself with people that support you and make you feel good, building relationships with people that you can trust and talk to, enjoying positive social media, and setting boundaries. Spiritual: your values, beliefs, and the practices in your life that nourish your soul and allow you to pursue your goals and seek understanding. Try journaling, meditation, and spending some time alone. Intellectual: your self-development and personal growth, learning new things, and having a strong and positive mind. There are many ways to practise self-care. Fuel your body with nutritious food, drink plenty of water, and get moving. Enjoy a relaxing aromatherapy bath using your favourite products, light an ESPA Candle, take some time to relax and meditate. Spend time with friends, laugh, and get outside. Let others help you. Try a therapeutic treatment such as a massage. Our Inner Calm Massage is designed to quieten your mind, release tension, and nourish your skin. This treatment is personalised to your physical and emotional needs. Carefully chosen aromatherapy blends relax, cleanse, or energise, while advanced massage techniques alleviate muscular pressure, soothe anxiety, and invoke profound relaxation. Includes: Aromatherapy massage, Heated Neck Pillow, and a Scalp Massage with Rose Quartz Crystals. What will you do today to take care of yourself?
