Wellness Blog - Tumblr Posts

11:11 as i type this and i have dried clay all over every limb, and a very happy heart, and a very clean face, mellie and i have been spending a lot of time on self care and love- truly one of the most important things i think ever. it’s such a good tool to use to stay grounded, clean, and shamelessly enough- very pretty and pampered !!! i love listening to spotify dj together each night, taking turns with the broken gua sha and snail mucin (that really truly seriously is awesome) i love and will always back up healthy (genuinely healthy) self care and wellness. same as taking the time to make yourself a cup of tea, i can’t think of many other better things than just cleaning yourself before bed with rlly good music and a rlly good girlfriend

NINIGHT!!!

aug26 i had a really good day today :3

i felt glum for a while— though my day did start with a trip to the zoo,, so i feel silly to call myself glum /i love every emotion/

mellie and i took a long nap mid afternoon, from about 2-4. we slept opposite so it wouldn’t feel like we were bedtime sleeping.

i mealish prepped rlly good stuff for the week, like hummus, korean cucumber, tri-color quinoa, brown rice, baked chickpeas— and more! it felt rlly good to be proactive about fueling myself rlly well. healing and growing and reaping all the benefits- finally. contentment !

while i cooked, my mom was in headphone land (childhood term :3), bopping her head to the music she was working on. mink sat upstairs talking with her momma- lovely lovely lady :3. lovely ladies!

now i’m wrapping up my friday with a spotify dj sesh and skin care/self care. moisturizing and massaging and thanking my self for getting me through this day and every day. it gives me time to reflect on the day- what i can do to make tomorrow equally if not better (worse would be okay, too).

thinking of all the highlights, all the people who helped me in some way. my brother, who is showing mink and i his favorite anime currently. my mom, who told me excitedly about red pavers she got to nab for our backyard- which she works very very hard on. my mellie- who is so patient and so kind. for her helping me shell the chickpeas, laying opposite on the bed talking about our emotions that day, who grabs my glass of water, the charger, the purse (very forgetful, i am ;) )

so happy that this was the saddest day i’ve felt in so long. to finally be able to breathe through the sadness. i am so grateful that i get to continue changing and growing. i cannot wait for my future.

trying out longer style posts as well :) let me know if it’s good or too much /gen

🏠🌅welcome back friend- to this summer sunday, where self-care takes on a serene and unhurried rhythm. let the sun's gentle rays filter through curtains, let the world invite you to wake up naturally. embrace the unhurried pace that sunday offers.

sundays should unfold with complete autonomy, allowing you to engage in activities that nurture your well-being. maybe a stroll, big or small, where the world around you everyday- once bustling for you- provide a soothing backdrop.

meditation or gentle stretching on sun-drenched earth. ground yourself in the present and ease any lingering stress from the week. you made it to the end of the week, love- indulge.

-relax + recharge

•take breaks to sit and recharge. become comfortable doing nothing- sit and be content about it

-hobbies

•make it a priority to find + build on hobbies that align with you and your passions. give yourself room to explore and experiment, with no pressure to be the best at it.

•express your thoughts and feelings through creativity

-connect

•connect + cultivate !! spend time with those who support you, love you, and want the best for you. water your connections, allow them to grow

-digital detoxing

•spend time away from your phone, purposefully leave it in the other room. don’t let anyone’s judgement or perception guide how you behave today

-self compassion

•practice self-compassion and self-acceptance.

•be kind to yourself, especially during challenging times. (note that “ challenging “ is constantly changing and means completely different things for everyone

-gratitude/positivity

•focus on positive affirmations and thoughts. remember that you are allowed to feel negative emotions while still being grateful for your surroundings.

-nourish thyself !!!!

•STAY HYDRATED!!! don’t let your leaves + flowers shrivel! water your inner plant!

•embrace moments of giddiness and spontaneity. remember you are not tied entirely to habit— you’re allowed to change your plans to suit your happiness!

-self rituals

•establish a self-care routine that suits your preferences + needs

•prioritize self-care as a regular practice in your life, like drinking water or brushing your teeth. your body and mind will thank u <3

self-care is unique to the individual and can vary from person to person. it’s so so so important to tailor your self-care practices to your own needs and preferences. it should be tailored to aid you- not overwhelm you <3
