Many of us, witches, lightworkers, spiritual practitioners, etc., are empaths. We are giving without expecting something back. In our mundane life, where we have plenty of responsibilities, we try our best to be there for those we care about the most, make them happy, and often we forget about ourselves.
Why does self-care so important?
Without it, we might feel drained and “out of magik”, after we have spent so much energy on others and didn’t take good care of ourselves to fill our energy reservoir. Without proper self-care, we might feel uninspired and maybe even lazy. Remember, to make someone else happy, you should first make yourself happy; you can’t give from an empty space.
Some ideas for self-care:
Of course, do what works the best for you, but here are some suggestions of self-care activities that work for me, fill me up with inspiration and encourage me to take my power back.
Activating my body improves blood flow and energy flow in it. It makes me feel more vital and connected. Of course, any other physical activity will do the same.
Meditation or just relaxation session
You may light candles, burn incense, make the right environment for yourself, and take some time for yourself to heal.
A walk outside, preferably in nature
If you feel disconnected, nature is the answer. Go outside into the loving arms of nature. It truly heals. If you live in a big city, a walk in the local park will do the work also. Notice the nature around you even in the urban environment, the trees, the flowers, the birds, or other local animals.
Make it as enjoyable as possible. You might use candles, self-love crystals (like pink quartz), rose petals, burn incense, add essential oils to the water (for me it’s Lavender, so magical and healing, and also good for skincare), and any other thing that feels right to you. Let the water wash away your heaviness and empty space for new, good vibes.
Make yourself a nice cup of tea and fill it with the intent of what exactly you need right now. Drink it mindfully and joyfully.
Sometimes, I feel like I don’t know what exactly I need to feel good, so I do journaling. Write down what bothers you and where do you feel a lack. Then write down a positive affirmation for each aspect you have spotted and let the good manifest into your life.
It’s no secret that music is a healer. It may be 432HZ music (healing tone), classical music, or even heavy metal (although it’s considered as “low vibe” music), whatever works for you and makes you feel good and empowered.
Take good care of yourself and blessed be 💜✨
