💆🏻‍♀️My Self-Care Activities: I’m Aiming To Harmony And Relaxation!🧘🏻‍♀️

Hi everyone,

It is a bit difficult question in my case because I have problems with relaxing myself, and I feel it especially acutely now, with the Full Moon in Capricorn. I have a natal Moon in this sign, so I’m overly sensitive at the moment.

There are some things and activities that help me to relax for a very brief period, but then it comes back to normal, and my back and neck hurt like hell because I accumulate all this pressure and emotions there, in my bones.

I also had problems treating myself; I had a tendency to reject some simple pleasures completely in the past, and I was really ascetic, which is not always good for my psyche. But I’m working on that and learning to find pleasure in practical things as well, and it’s going quite good!

So how do I practice self-care?

📖Reading, self-learning, and other intellectual tasks – when I’m absorbed by intensive thinking, I don’t concentrate much on negative emotions, worries, or self-criticism. I can even calm myself down this way quickly – I just recently discovered that, but it is helpful.

🚶‍♀️🎵Long walks with music: it reduces my levels of stress and releases negative emotions, especially when I move quickly and intensely – it is kind of a physical exercise too!
I mostly listen to heavy music like metal & hard rock & rock (you’d never think it if you saw me in real life), though I’m also open to darkwave, folk, ethereal, renaissance songs, some dramatic and intense classical tunes, and even some melodic rap (I mean, I’ve stolen something from my husband’s car).
I guess you really stop caring about staying true to one genre after 30. The most crucial thing is the dramatic, expressive, electrifying quality of these musical pieces, because my emotions have the same level of intensity, so when I listen to it, I feel… on my own waves and calmer.

💆🏻‍♀️Hugging my husband, good food, massage, spa (facial treatments, etc.), connecting to nature – it also helps me feel better and release my inner tension for a moment 🙂

🎨Creative activities like writing and drawing also help me to unload from my chest whatever torments me at the moment or any way-too-high level of unease. I kind of embody or pour it all out into my artistic pieces, and then I’m at ease for a moment, all anxiety and tension released.
That is why I enjoy writing horrors so much, btw 😀 Also because my inner child is frightened and gothic, but you get the point.

🧘Meditation, yoga, Reiki self-healing, and other forms of spirituality – this helps me to relax, reach inner harmony, get rid of tension, “touch the sky,” and talk with the Absolute. I feel like I’m in touch with the sense of my life then.

And that is it 🙂 Thank you for reading this humble list of self-caring activities 🙂
