Q4 has caused me to unintentionally romanticize my life and truly I am all here for it. I am one of the people who usually just goes with the motions of whatever the day brings and never is intentional about the "me" part of the day. I am intentional about everything else, but myself. The irony. Lately, I have been focusing on myself throughout the day and it has made a huge difference. The little things really add up especially when it comes to your personal sanity. There are multiple things I have been trying out daily/weekly but below are some of my favorites that make an immediate impact.
The Herbal Zen Shower Steamers I love that this company has thought about all the fundamental needs. They have formulas that focus on stress, sleep, energy, etc. The aroma kicks in almost immediately. I will admit I do not use one every single day, but I have used one at least almost weekly.
Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash for daily use Dove Exfoliating Body Scrub for 2x a week. I use this body glove and this body scrubber. My skin is loving the extra attention it has been receiving.
A morning and nighttime routine that includes planning my day out. I use these inserts for my daily brain dump, these inserts for my self-reflections, and this notepad to keep me on track with my priorities for the day.
I use my ice roller every morning as I prep my tea and take my vitamins. We all know the ice roller has benefits such as reducing puffiness, improving circulation, etc but for me, it also just helps with waking me up. and setting my day into motion.
I am a bit embarrassed to admit this one but I already stated above I am not good at the "me" part of the day. So, I had to restore to setting hourly reminders on my phone to drink water. The water bottle with the time marks doesn't work because I realize how behind I am and makes my anxiety crazy, but the reminders just force me to focus on that moment of drinking water.
I have added these to my daily routine for a little over a month now and it has made a tremendous difference. Intention and routine have been a game changer.
