Fall is a beautiful season, when nature shows us its vibrant colors and prepares for a long winter. Things naturally slow-down a bit as the summer's sun energy starts to fade. Fall is a magical season and it provides us an opportunity when we can learn from nature and follow its example. Fall is a time to slow down a bit unwind, relax and self-care.
Maybe it's because I have little's in school and there's a certain ritual and reset that happens this time of year. Our family reviews things that work and don't work, we let go of habits that don't suit our needs and work on new things that can help us or things that sparks our fire. Regardless though, it's always been a time when I go more inward and self-reflect.
During this cooling-off season, remember to slow down, to let go of stress, to enjoy the present moment, and to take care of our physical, mental and emotional well-being. Let's honor our needs, our desires, and our dreams and treat ourselves with kindness, compassion, and love.
How can we unwind, relax and self-care in fall? There are many ways, but here are some suggestions:
- Take a walk in nature. Fall is a great time to enjoy the beauty of nature, to breathe the fresh air, to listen to the birds, to feel the breeze, and to admire the changing colors of the leaves. Walking in nature can help us relax our muscles, clear our minds, and boost our mood.
- Make a cozy home. Fall is a time to make our home cozy and comfortable, to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. We can do this by lighting candles, using aromatherapy, playing soft music, adding pillows and blankets, and decorating with fall-themed crafts. Making a cozy home can help us feel safe, calm, and happy.
- Indulge in some Good Stuff Products. Fall is a time to pamper ourselves with some natural and soothing bath and beauty products, drench your body in Oasis Body Oil, take a nourishing milk bath with Milky Way, soothe sore muscles with Cottonwood Creek salve, set sail for dream land with Dream Saver, soften your skin with Sweet Ash Sugar Scrub, jump into a new Fall Facial Routine with our Pumpkin Collection, and so much more. These products can help us relax our body, calm our mind, and nourish our skin. They can also make us feel like a magical being, with soft skin, relaxed muscles, and sweet dreams.
- Read a good book. Fall is a great time to curl up with a good book, to immerse ourselves in a different world, to learn something new, or to be inspired by someone’s story. Reading a good book can help us stimulate our imagination, expand our knowledge, and enrich our soul.
- Write a journal. Fall is a time to write a journal, to express our thoughts and feelings, to reflect on our experiences, to set our goals, and to celebrate our achievements. Writing a journal can help us clarify our vision, release our emotions, and grow as a person.
These are just some of the ways we can unwind, relax and self-care in fall. But the most important thing is to find what works for us, what makes us happy, what fills us with joy. Fall is a time to reset and reflect, to go inward and nurture ourselves. And what better way to do that than with some self-care? So don’t wait any longer. Treat yourself today and feel the difference!
- Body oil can moisturize your skin, lock in hydration, and gently exfoliate dead skin cells. It can also improve your blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and soothe your senses with aromatherapy. Some body oils may even have anti-aging, antibacterial, or antioxidant properties.
- Milk bath can make your skin feel softer, smoother, and more radiant. It can also help with dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, poison ivy, and sunburn. Milk contains lactic acid, which is a natural alpha hydroxy acid that can gently remove dead skin cells and brighten your complexion. Milk also has proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals that can nourish and hydrate your skin.
- Better sleep can improve your mood, mental function, memory, and learning. It can also lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and dementia. Sleep is essential for repairing and maintaining your body’s tissues, organs, and systems. It also helps remove toxins from your brain and regulate your hormones.
