Activities that are great for the soul
Today I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know that what you do is absolutely amazing and you truly are a really special person being a mum, dad, auntie, uncle, grandparent… Now I don’t have kids myself, but I certainly see many kids and their parents every single week and I can tell you that the amount of love, energy and effort that I see from the parents to their kids, is truly phenomenal. That is you too and I want you to know that you are truly special and valued.
I am going to take a guess that sometimes it can be stressful, it can be tiring and it can be downright draining… Annnddd, you probably don’t take a lot of time out for yourself (because who has that kind of time right?!)
Self-care is so important though in terms of its emotional and psychological benefits, but actually also has the effect of giving you more energy, more clarity of thoughts and some time to connect with your inner self and find what makes you truly happy. Below is a list of my favourite self-care activities that are great for the soul… You don’t have to do it now, you don’t have to do any of them at all… But I truly encourage you to take one day in the next month to just have some time for YOU (because you really do deserve it!)
- Write in a diary or blog
- Buy an adult colouring in book and let the colours go wild
- Take a yoga class or another class your interested in doing
- Get a massage
- Give to someone, complete a random act of kindness or donate (it feels super great)
- Reconnect with an old friend and go grab a coffee
- Take up a skill you’ve always wanted to learn (even if it means watching a youtube video… For me, it’s trying to self teach myself the piano!)
- Stargaze
- Sit in a park and be mindful – take in what sounds there are, what you can feel, what you can see, what you can smell… Take in the truest form of nature
- Reconnect with an activity you loved when you were younger
Let me know what your favourites are… Remember you are truly amazing!
Have a joyful and magical week,
Tash xo
