One of the silly things that we can do on a regular basis is build in a little pick-me-up in our weeks. It can be basically anything that doesn't cost very much, but has an impact in making yourself a little more cheery, warm, and excited. Sometimes, we have to manage our self-care practices in order for us to be able to care for otheres. As mentioned before, I like getting pedicures, grabbing a cup of coffee, reading a book in ped. Those are all nice self-care indulgences. This is a chance to go creative. It could be anything from a new lip gloss, finding a cute piece of jewelry at an art fair, or baking a batch of cookies.
My latest pick-me-up is this adorable duck tea infuser that I found on my latest trip to Austin. I like how sipping tea takes time and it can be very relaxing. A cup of tea is long enough to take a few deep breathes, slow down, think or read a magazine article. Ever since my visit to Path of Tea, I've been interested in trying out some new teas. Hopefully, I can find some loose leaf teas soon. And, the cool part is I can try it out in my french coffee press at home.
I'm looking forward to having a cup of tea by my bed, tons of books surrounding me, and a journal. Ahhh!
