I seriously admire this man SO much! . To whoever needs to hear this today, stay strong and remember there's always a way through . .

TAKE A SELF CARE RETREAT . With the long weekend coming up, and still nowhere to go this can be a wonderful way to show yourself some extra love this Valentine's Day (or any day you need a real pick me up!) . I found this gem of an idea from @theresetritual and have enjoyed doing it myself!!... . Here are the essentials: . 1. if able, jot down everything rumbling around in your head 2. 3. (whatever supports your intention for the day) 4. (wine, tea, coffee) - whatever supports your vibe! 5. : take one to two hours, enjoy it. 6. : take a walk, a hike, dance in the kitchen, do some yoga, literally whatever feels good to you in that moment 7. & 8. : do something that makes you feel good, with your own two hands (no computers or phones) - painting, drawing, DIY crafts, you get the point! 9. & : run a hot bath, your favorite bath bomb or salt, bring a drink, a cozy robe and slippers and listen to some music while you soak 10. : the goal is to get in touch with yourself after a day of relaxing, answer some journal prompts to help guide you . If you're looking for something special to do at home and do try this out, let me know what you think below!! . . See more

SHOWER UPGRADE . Want to upgrade your shower this week and promote them from a necessary hygiene practice into a self care routine?? I find this is especially great for all the busy parents out there!! Here's how: 1. Start with dry brushing to improve circulation and exfoliate... 2. Create ambient lighting 3. Listen to music (whatever mood you're into at the time) 4. Use a scrub (for extra skin love or in place of a dry brush) 5. Use a face and/or hair mask 6. Add some aromatherapy (use a shower steamer, or place a jar in the shower with your fave essential oil in it to pick up the steam) Happy self-care showers everyone! . . See more

Today, I choose peace. I am at peace with my pain. . .

FLOAT THERAPY . Also referred to as sensory deprivation therapy, this practice involves pods or tanks full of salt water in an enviromment designed to eliminate all forms of stimulation to allow you to enter a deep state of relaxation. . I discovered this myself nearly three years ago and it was AMAZING. So amazing that I am returning for another sesh today.... . Float therapy has SO many benefits including: Reducing stress & anxiety Pain relief/management Muscle recovery Improved sleep Increased magnesium absorption (which has its own amazing benefits too!!) . We absolutely love @soulfloatstudio and their website goes more in depth about what it is and why you want it in your life. If you haven't tried this therapy I HIGHLY recommend trying it out (and no, you don't need to know how to swim)!! . . See more
