Self-Care Sundays: Make a Self-Care Kit

Now that we can recognize when we are stressed and what we can handle, we might want to create a self-care kit.

Ask yourself what brings you comfort when you are down or stressed.

What clothing is comfy and cozy?

What activities lower your stress level? (Movie, book, craft, etc.)

What creates a cozy atmosphere? (Candle, scent diffuser, etc.)

What foods and drinks are comforting and yet healthy enough that you won't regret eating them when you're stressed? 

How can you pamper yourself? (Face, hands, feet, etc.)

Now collect these items in one place for the next time you need some extra self-love!!

Self-Care Sunday: Savor a Hot Beverage

One of my favorite methods of self-care involves savoring a hot beverage.

It may be tea, hot chocolate, coffee (decaf or caffeinated). or something else, but the important part is taking time to drink it slowly and enjoy the experience.

Use all of your senses to savor the beverage.

Touch: Hold the cup in your hands and feel the warmth.

Sight: Look at the steam rising or the patterns on the surface of the beverage.

Sound: If you make your own beverage, listen to the sound of the tea kettle boiling water. Hear the slurp as you slowly drink your beverage.

Smell: Consider what smells from the beverage reach your nose. Which smell is strongest? 

Taste: What does your drink taste like? Roll in around your mouth before swallowing.
