Self Care is a foundational aspect of life that is so profoundly essential but often forgotten, delayed or de-prioritized. Some people put self care practices in place proactively or in response to a major crisis in their lives,  while other people are not sure what works for them or have just transitioned into a different stage of life, like new motherhood and require a revised set of what self care can look like in shorter periods of time.

I find again and again that taking a little time to care for myself in some way puts me in such a better mood, makes me so much more available for others and improves the quality of my work. When I need any sort of cleansing or refreshing, water is where I go.

Most of us shower or bathe daily and it is quite possible to take a moment to turn this routine act into a multi-sensory pleasurable experience that activates the body, calms the mind and revives or relaxes you depending on your intention.

This moment in our everyday life can be turned from a task that needs to be done, preferably quickly, to a pleasurable, reviving experience by giving our senses our full attention. The act of lighting a candle and treating yourself to a long shower in the flickering light of the flame is an example of a simple choice that turns a routine act into a ritualistic one. Listen to the soothing sound of water, inhale the scents of your choice as you tend to your body and feel the water running over your skin.

Choosing to turn showering into a valuable moment of self care is a simple act that can be added into your everyday life without even taking more time, just more of your attention. Your attention to your senses elevates the moment and you gift yourself a pleasurable experience.
