Self-care is a deep personal practice that can change your life. Self-care is not selfish or indulgent.
In fact, it's critical for healthy living.
Self-care is the range of activities we do to care for ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. It is the range of things like getting enough sleep, taking time to read a book or meditate, and choosing healthy foods with some indulgences.
Most importantly, it's about doing these things for ourselves regardless of how our day went, whether we've had an argument with someone, or are worried about rising costs!
Self-care doesn't have to be a time consuming activity. There are plenty of ways to care for yourself that just take a few minutes at a time.
- take a bath
- listen to music
- get a massage
- meditate
- write in a journal
- read a book
- apply essential oils
Essential Oils for Self-Care
Aromatherapy can directly affect your emotions and memories, and bring the body & mind back into a state of wellbeing and relaxation.
When applying Essential Oils topically, you are benefiting from the oils penetrating the body’s cellular membrane which increase the body's vibratory rate, making you feel happy, light, energized and more at ease.
When you inhale the aroma, this triggers the limbic system, which is the part of the brain that deals with emotions, as well as controlling your heart rate, blood pressure and breathing.
Using blends with specific properties are ideal to use during your self-care practice.
For example, +Oils Self Love Wellness blend is the perfect synergy of 5 therapeutic essential oils that has an intriguing and pleasing aroma. It produces positive feelings to boost confidence and self-esteem.
Our blends can also compliment your other
self-care activities, such as using:
- Dream (Mist or Wellness Roller) while reading a book to help with deep relaxation
- For Him while meditating, to ground you and help you connect with your values
- Elevate while taking a walk for an extra uplifting mood-boost. It will put a smile to your face.
Self-care helps us to feel better, more connected, and more effective. Think about what you need, and honour those needs. Daily.
