We get it, life flies by – by the year, by the month and by the day. It can feel like you’re on a constant spinning wheel and before you know it the day is done and you’re waking up to do it all again. Your health and wellbeing gets pushed down the priority list. For those who resonate with this, we see you. And we want for you to get the best out of your days, and your nights, and for you to feel beauty in every way.
So here are some really quick and simple ways that you can take care of that wonderful vessel of yours – daily. Without feeling like you need to block out time in your schedule or lock yourself away from the kids.
- Morning Rituals: Now, before we lose you, hear us out. Morning rituals need not be an hour mediation, lighting incense and doing yoga with the sunrise (that’s just not possible in certain seasons of life!). Keep it simple, and positive…and mindful. Minutes of your time spent stretching, or some really deep breathing, a cleansing cup of lemon water, set your tone and wake up your body. A quick skincare routine using products that are both effective and hydrating can also be a quick way to nourish the skin and boost confidence.
- Micro-Breaks: Throughout the day, take short, intentional breaks to reset. Even just 5 minutes of stepping away from work, house chores or entertaining kids to practice deep breathing, listen to a favourite song, put your feet on the grass, feel the sun touch your skin, or do a quick meditation. These are all ways you can help reduce stress and improve focus.
- Healthy Snacking: Keep healthy, easy-to-grab snacks on hand, such as nuts, fruit, or yogurt. These not only provide a quick energy boost but also contribute to overall well-being. Opt for snacks that align with a natural lifestyle, avoiding processed options.
- Evening Wind-Down: Establish a calming evening routine to signal the end of the day. This could include applying a nourishing body oil or balm and lightly massaging your body at the same time, diffusing an essential oil while stretching or reading a book. And perhaps, where you can manage it, a relaxing bath with natural bath salts. These practices help relax the mind and promote rest. Adding a sleep-friendly skincare routine with natural, calming ingredients can also enhance the process.
- Mindful Moments: Use small pockets of time throughout the day for mindfulness. This could be during a commute, while waiting at kids after school activities, or any small pocket of time. Practices like gratitude journaling or short guided meditations can help maintain mental clarity and emotional balance.
These small but meaningful practices can be seamlessly integrated into a busy lifestyle, offering moments of self-care and promoting overall well-being without requiring significant time commitments. The small things always add up.
