Days like these just physically hurt. I haven’t slept well and my stress level is…too high to talk about. I caught a cold, which combines my stress level and my sweet grandson going into daycare. Tis that season of daycare germs! Turns out when I called my boss to let him know I’d be out, he too is fighting off something, along with a couple other dudes. Germs suck. Here is my plan to feel better today and rid the germs.
Apothecary: Herbs to fight colds and dumb germs: Ginger, chamomile, mint, mistletoe, orris root and skullcap are all good herbs to tincture with and create a cold remedy. I like to make tea and I sometimes just smell the aroma and sip lightly. You can even sprinkle chamomile and ginger in a bath of Epsom salt and relax as the toxins release from your body. This is so good.
Mental Health: Take time and do some art journaling and work in witch grimoire. Work with colors of your chakras, use inspirational words and things that make you smile. Do some reading.
Self Care: Fun fact: all of this self care stuff with help with the mental health care stuff too. Do 20 minutes of yoga and whatever minutes of dancing. Why dance? Because movement of any kind is beneficial for your body, for your mind, for your self. And I love to dance. Another really cool thing is pull an oracle card, self care card, do a tarot spread for encouragement or make your own “daily good feels” card. I came up with that last one. This is my self care deck. And today I pulled this, Release. And yep, I let it go. I cried pretty hard and I felt better. I truly did. So now, I pull myself together and keep moving, radiating as much positive as I can and just be me. Release the negative and cry it out if need be.
