It\u2019s something you hear and read about everywhere: \u2018self-care moments\u2019. But how difficult is it to look after yourself properly when you\u2019ve got a family at home waiting for you to look after them, your job takes up a lot of your energy, and there are plenty of friends around you whom you\u2019d also like to spend some time with?.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But isn\u2019t it lovely when you take those 10 minutes just for yourself \u2013 whether it\u2019s a warm bath, a lovely walk on the beach, or doing a few yoga exercises or some meditation? It\u2019s only a short while, but it really does help you recharge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A moment to yourself \u2013 it\u2019s so important!<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re a very busy person and sometimes you push yourself to the limit. You find that you can\u2019t cope with as much and get irritated more easily. Ultimately, you feel tired even though you\u2019re pulling long nights. But when you\u2019re stressed, your sleep is restless and less deep. As a result, you don\u2019t wake up feeling fully rested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By setting aside a few minutes each day for some self-care, you\u2019ll find that you start to feel better about yourself. You\u2019ll be able to cope with a bit more, and you\u2019ll feel relaxed and at ease all day long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn your self-care moment into a ritual<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ben jij fan van yoga en meditatie. Zorg dan voor een fijne plek in huis of je tuin waar jij jouw spulletjes kan laten staan of liggen. Zet eventueel in het begin een wekkertje zodat je jezelf ook echt aan dat momentje herinnert, anders heb je kans dat je het vergeet. Het moet echt even in jouw systeem ‘slijten’ zodat het uiteindelijk een gewoonte gaat worden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surround yourself with lovely things<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stenen, sprays, olietjes, wierook, zachte kussens… Allemaal fijne spullen om jou te ondersteunen om dieper te ontspannen. Omring jezelf met Bergkristal punten tijdens een meditatie om jezelf volledig op te laden. Steek een wierook aan en haal een paar keer diep adem. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Deze heerlijke geur geeft mij zo’n gevoel van innerlijke rust. Het brengt mijn gedachten tot stilstand en ik kan heerlijk mediteren. Lukt het niet goed om mijn opdringende gedachten weg te sturen, dan spray ik nog een keer om mij heen en blijf ik iets langer zitten \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Crystals<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ik ben echt gek op kristallen!! Ze zien er zo prachtig uit en het is een echte ‘eye catcher’ in huis. Maar wist je ook dat kristallen jouw welzijn kunnen be\u00efnvloeden? Ik zelf maak vaak gebruik van Bergkristal punten. Ik ga heerlijk liggen op een matje op de grond met een muziekje aan. Ja ook hier weer de Miracle Frequency Music \ud83d\ude09. Ik leg de punten om mij heen, eerst met de punten naar buiten, om mij te ontdoen van eventuele negatieve energie. Vervolgens keer ik de punten naar binnen om zo weer op te laden met positieve energie van de kristallen. Echt een aanrader!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deze is echt onmisbaar in mijn tas en wordt dus ook overal mee naartoe gesleept. Ik ben er ook al een aantal kwijt geraakt aan vrienden en vriendinnen… De roller is zo handig in gebruik! Wanneer ik ergens ben en ik merk dat ik druk in mijn hoofd wordt pak ik de Peace of Mind<\/a> I use the roller. But it\u2019s also really lovely to use this roller before going to bed or during a moment to myself. I find that it helps clear my mind, which means I slow down in my daily activities, am more present in the moment and therefore do everything more mindfully. It\u2019s brilliant!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ik heb nog zoveel meer favoriete producten voor Selfcare… Teveel om op te noemen! Daarom hebben wij op de site alle producten aan het Theme: Self-care<\/a> added. It might be a good idea to have a look for yourself at all the products in this theme. I\u2019m sure there\u2019s something there for you too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even more self-care tips<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start the day by writing<\/em> Buy yourself a lovely little book and start the day by writing down three things you\u2019re grateful for. This will set your day off on a positive note, and over time you\u2019ll end up with a book full of gratitude. You could also write down three things before you go to sleep that made you happy that day. These can be little things, such as the sun peeking through your curtains, letting you know it was going to be another lovely day, or a beautiful flower in a field full of flowers, and so on. It\u2019s precisely by noticing and appreciating the little things that your happiness hormones kick into action! Do you find it difficult to get started on your own? The 6-minute diary<\/a> is a lovely and handy book to get started with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat healthily and drink plenty of water<\/em> When you start cutting out sugar, you\u2019ll soon notice a difference. You\u2019ll feel less tired, and people with rheumatic conditions may actually experience less pain as a result (trust me, I\u2019ve found it really helps me a lot!). Make sure you drink enough water; start the day with two glasses of water. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. It\u2019s advice everyone knows, but it\u2019s still worth mentioning \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leer om ‘nee’ te zeggen <\/em> Een ‘Nee’ tegen een ander is een ‘JA’ voor jezelf! Maar wat is het toch lastig om andere mensen teleur te stellen. Maar wat als jij Ja zegt tegen iets waar jij geen zin in hebt? Wie stel je dan teleur? Juist, jezelf! En dat moeten we juist niet hebben!!! En Nee zeggen hoeft ook niet altijd maar uitgelegd te worden. Gewoon een Nee is ook Oke! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seek out nature and tranquillity<\/em> When you go for a walk through the woods or along the beach, you can really unwind. I find the beach particularly rejuvenating. I love walking barefoot across the sand and through the water. The salt water always makes me feel as though the negative energy is flowing out of my feet, and the fresh air clearing my head helps me think clearly again. With a bit of luck, the sunshine helps me recharge \ud83d\ude0a. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try doing your everyday tasks with real awareness<\/em> And I\u2019m really talking about little things like brushing your teeth or making a sandwich. You often do these things whilst your mind is on the future \u2013 worrying about tomorrow and fretting about everything that needs to be done that day. Try to do everything you do mindfully. That way, you\u2019ll be living in the moment! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look after yourself! That way, you\u2019ll be able to be there for others with all your (positive) energy \ud83d\ude09!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
