10 self-care tips to be ON GUARD WITH STRESS
Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed with so many tasks that you can’t seem to focus on anything? Or maybe you struggle with sleepless nights due to racing thoughts? Perhaps you’ve experienced physical and mental exhaustion after a stressful day. It’s important to recognise that there is a biological reason behind these experiences, and taking care of yourself not only helps but lifts you to an entirely different state where the treasure chest opens.
Engaging in self-care practices such as mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and physical activity can help to bring your nervous system back to a balanced state, allowing you to feel better and more in control of your responses to challenging situations.
“We are such tender beings, us humans, and considering the age we live in, there are a lot of traumas and mental stresses that come with that reality, whether or not we realise it.”
“Because of that, it’s so vital that we take care of ourselves mentally, spiritually and physically because our bodies are probably processing more than we realise.” – Martyne behind Celestial Thyme
SELF CARE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
It is crystal clear; taking care of yourself like it’s your job – self-care is non-negotiable. It might be the most important job you have. Take a cue from these self-care ritual tips and prioritise your well-being like never before!
1. THE ESSENTIAL YOU
Amidst the chaos of life, it’s easy to forget the importance of self-care.
But here’s a friendly reminder: it’s not selfish, it’s essential. This is your permission!
Take a break and indulge in things that make you happy – a peaceful walk, a delicious baking session, a dance party in your kitchen, or diving into inspiring books. And if you have little ones running around, don’t fret. Pass the baton to your partner and prioritise your well-being. Because when you take care of yourself, you become a better caretaker for your loved ones.
2. JOY JOY JOY
Let’s face it – the question ‘how are you?’ has lost its meaning in the current state of the world.
So why not ask a more meaningful question? Like ‘what brings you joy?’
Our founder Martyne, believes that in these difficult times, finding joy in the smallest things can be a game-changer. Whether it’s a quick trip to a home goods store, a DIY project with your partner, or indulging in some much-needed self-care like a slow walk on the beach or slow stretching session, even a joy of an indulgent bon-bon make time for what brings you joy. Because in the end, it’s the little things that count.
3. MAKE INTENTIONAL SELF-CARE ROUTINE A SECOND NATURE
Self-care shouldn’t be a one-time thing or a sporadic activity. It should be a consistent and intentional practice in our lives. That’s why our founder, Martyne, swears by incorporating self-care into her daily routine. Whether it’s a yoga routine, a relaxing walk with her dog, an online class that piques her interest, or a protection ritual when arriving back home she makes sure to prioritise her well-being every single day. So don’t wait for a special occasion to care care of yourself. Don’t mistake it, this is not hampering!
Make self-care a daily ritual and watch your mind and body flourish.
