How to put together your self care kit!
Hello everyone! As discussed last week, my intention for January is Self Care. So today I would like to share with you how I put together my Self Care Kit!
- Find a box (I used a photo box but you can use any box you have laying around the house)
- Think about activities that make you happy
Chocolate
Squishy balls, silly putty, slime
Coloring books and colored pencils, gel pens, markers
Aromatherapy (I have essential oil roll ons in rose, lavender, and tea tree)
Ear plugs and sleep mask (For those times when you need to block out the world)
Crystals and gemstones (I also like marbles)
Journal
Positive Affirmations (I make my own on card stock or post it notes)
3. Put all of your items in the box so they are easily found when needed
4. Decorate your self care box
5. Make sure to USE your self care box DAILY!!!!!!!!
I hope this helps! If you have any other ideas please let me know! And remember to reach out if you are in need of extra support.
Finding Community and Belonging: Insights from "How We Show Up" by Mia Birdsong
Throughout the week ,I have been blessed to continue seeing clients through telehealth and supporting them through this difficult time. Most speak of the difficulty of finding a new normal while struggling with the lack of control in this situation. Some struggle with an increased sense of loneliness and isolation due to social distancing and the need to self quarantine. Some continue to work from home but struggle to find their rhythm when most people's routines have been so drastically changed. I personally have been feeling the need to spend more time outside and sometimes even make my normal commute but not go into my office! Whatever it takes to feel peace and ease the stress seems to be the name of the game! Hopefully the tips listed above can help!
