Self-care letter to anyone who needs it.
This is an open letter, mainly to us, but if you want you are more than welcome to reblog and add to this.
Dear whoever is reading this,
this is your permission, to feel good about yourself because hey! you deserve it!
this life is yours to make of it what you want to make of it. Do what makes you happy, because in the end happiness is important, and everyone in the world deserves to be happy.
This is just a few things to do to make yourself happy and make it a few steps close to loving yourself because so many people love you, even if sometimes you don’t feel like it.
-take a relaxing bath a few times a week, use your favourite products, listen to your favourite music, light your favourite candles. just make the atmosphere relaxing, this is time for yourself, enjoy it, this is your time to enjoy the peace and relax.
-be creative, draw, sing, learn an instrument,make that food you’ve seen which makes your mouth water every time you think about it, learn a new craft, make things you’ve always wanted to make and never thought you could, you could surprise yourself and find a new talent, if things don’t go right, its okay, its all a learning process and the more you do things the better you’ll become at them.
-make a scrapbook, it can be about anything, or nothing, it could just be random ideas which come to your head, use whatever materials you can get your hands on, and enjoy it, you may learn things about yourself you never knew
-tell yourself one thing you like about yourself every day, now from personal experience i know that this is difficult, but find things you love about yourself, you smile, your laugh, your sense of humour or your fashion sense.
-go places you’ve always wanted to see, even if its a place in your local area you’ve not been in a while, just explore and see the world, its a big place and going on adventures is always exciting
-take photos along the way of your life, you don’t have to share these photos with anyone, but photos capture a moment which you can keep for a lifetime, and it may help when you want to escape back to a certain time where you was happpiest, take photos of anything and everything because even if they make no sense to anyone but you, but you are the one who matters in all of this, you are important and your happiness is important.
-laugh, this one is important, laughing can help lift any mood, listen to that funny song, watch that funny video, watch a funny film, just laugh, because your laughter is amazing.
and most importantly, remember this, even though you won’t be able to do these all the time, remember that you’’re not a failure, you are a beautiful human being, and i am proud of you, i am so so proud of you, you have defeated things you never thought you could, you are stronger than you think, you are more beautiful than you notice and you are kinder than you could imagine, and i am so proud of you just for existing, because you are amazing.
