Does avoiding your responsibilities until it’s almost to late sound familiar? Do you know what it’s like to buy something on a whim and spend way too much money, just because you’ve had a terrible day? Or perhaps going down a spiral of worries is a part of your daily routine? Well, that’s not too good, is it… You need to have your portion of self-care. You probably have already heard about it, because it’s a popular topic in social media; but what does it really mean?
You’re only human
And this is why your self-care should include, primarily, taking care of your basic needs. From getting enough sleep, through eating healthy, nutritious meals (you should remember about eating even if you’re very busy during the day!), to having a clean and calm space to relax. Perhaps daily meditation will be a good idea, if you are flooded with too many things on your plate. There is no chance in the world that a tired, hungry and stressed-out body is going to keep you happy!
Self-care vs relationships
Think about your relationships with others. Do you put yourself first, or are you a typical people-pleaser? Remember that if you are not happy with yourself, you cannot pass the good vibes to others. On one hand, you should develop only meaningful, two-sided relationships.
This means staying away from energy vampires, those who do not appreciate what you do for them, and toxic people. On the other hand, consider if you are not the one who is selfish in relationships. Are you a good friend/partner? Take responsibility for what you do, forgive yourself, become a better person – we promise, you will feel better.
Treat yourself!
An important part of self-care is indulgence. If you work hard or simply feel a bit down, you deserve a treat; and it does not have to be an expensive bag. It can be something small, so you don’t feel guilty about spending too much money – for example, a nice bubble bath after a long day at work.
Try our beautiful bath bombs! They will make your bath colourful and surround you with sweet aromas of flowers or fruits. Another great way to treat yourself is to buy yourself a Diamond Empire candle. You get two gifts in one: a candle of which smell will make your mood brighter and jewellery! It’s the little things in life that help us take care of ourselves. Be kind to yourself!
