Practice self-care by lighting up a candle
The practice of self-care can seem like a lot of work at times. Like
anything, it takes consistency and intention to create a healthy habit.
It's important to note that self-care is the very first step in helping us
create and maintain a healthy relationship with ourselves. You might be
thinking:
does lighting up a candle really count as self-care? My answer
is: YES!
After a long and busy day, one of my favorite things to do is
light up a warmly scented candle. The comforting flame and yummy warm
scent instantly helps me destress. My room feels cozy and it makes me
think about other things I can do to make my space even cozier! That might
mean getting started on my nighttime routine, getting a book out to read,
or turning on netflix. Before I know it, I've added a couple of more items
to my self-care list for that night.
For that reason, invest in a cozy candle! It only takes a couple seconds to light up and it is a great first step toward taking care of yourself.
