Create your own self care schedule

We live in such a busy time with many stresses and strains placed upon us both emotionally and physically, that it’s important to create a safe space for yourself.

Think of it as your personal self care ritual and block it out in your timetable as you would for any other event. If you are the best version of yourself (In the sense that you have taken the time to check in with your mind and rest your body) Your ability to focus on work, family and social obligations will be much more balanced and focused.

Here at Vesta, we love the ritual of a bath with essential oils and herbs. Take the time to make yourself a comforting hot drink and maybe think about where you are and what you need. These conversations with ourself are very important. Perhaps write these down to reflect back on at a future date.

Burn your favourite candle and lie down with a relaxing eye pillow, or pull on your cosiest clothes and read your favourite book. Even at the end of the day, taking the time with your skincare routine can slow you down.

However you do it, remember to make yourself a priority even if just once a day. Your mind and body will thank you.
