- open windows and let the sunlight in. the sun is an essential source of vitamin d, which strengthens your bones. it increases serotonin levels, balances your circadian rhythm, and is a powerful resource of energy and warmth. let the daylight motivate you!
- burn candles, incense, or run a diffuser in the morning. making your space smell nice is a great way to boost your mood (however, be careful of certain oils used in diffusers, they can be harmful to pets!).
- make your own natural cleaning products. two cups of water, ½ cup of white vinegar, 1 tbsp of unscented dish soap, 1 tbsp baking soda, and a couple drops of your fav essential oil for scent… tada! all purpose natural cleaner!
- put crystals in the soil of your potted plants to encourage healthy growth (i’ve found clear quartz, malachite, and pyrite are good for this).
- sprinkle a little baking soda + essential oils on the carpet before you vacuum, and chant your intentions as you do. deodorize your carpet and suck up bad vibes at the same time.
- hang witch bells above the front and back doors. this works as a ward against evil/negative energy, and also functions as a low cost security system.
- keep your space clean! it can be hard to stay on top of sometimes, but if you find yourself with a spare 30 minutes, use it to tidy up. your home is a reflection of your soul and your energy, and too much clutter can be both physically and mentally draining.
- talk out loud. whistle. sing. this may sound silly, but let your home hear you. imagine your youness sinking into the walls. make your space fall in love with you, and do it in return.
- count your blessings, no matter how small. it’s easy to think of all the things we don’t have and to forget about the things we do. whether it’s your own bedroom, an internet connection, a cute statue, a book, a crystal, access to food and clean water, try to take stock of the things that make your life good and comfortable.
If you remembered to take care of yourself today, reblog this post.
If you need this reminder to go take care of yourself; whether it be to relax, breathe, or eat something nourishing, reblog this post.
We all need a little reminder every now and again.
So please, take care of yourself.
Even if it means going against the opinions of others,
Even if it means receiving disapproval,
Even if it means going against the crowd,
You must do what feels right to you.
If it makes you smile, feel more comfortable, or beam with rays of genuine happiness;Then you must do it, regardless of anyone else.
Just as one schedules time for others, they must also schedule time for them self. They must also care for, speak kindly to, and nourish them self. Time will pass by quickly, and life will get busy, but there must always be enough time for oneself.
The most troublesome situations often lead to the most astounding growth of your character. Don’t give up now; you can and you will get through this.
Sometimes you’ve just got to be relentless. Take risks. Show your courage. Feel your undying spirit burning bright within you.
You have to love what you do. You must. For without this beautiful burning passion; one cannot persist. It is this undeniable love that keeps one pushing forward, persevering, and fighting hard with all they’ve got.
During those moments in which you feel particularly difficult to handle, take a moment to breathe. Focus on all of the beautiful people that are currently present in your life, and that you are supported from each and every direction no matter what.
You deserve only the best of company.
You deserve only the strongest support.
You deserve to be cherished for the very treasure that you are, each and every moment of every single day.
