Give Comfort – The Perfect Gift for Everyone: a Self-Care Kit
Do you have a Self-Care kit? You probably do, without even realizing it.
I’ve assembled an essential collection of things to use when anxiety gets out front. My Self-Care kit comes in handy when I need to:
feel less anxious
feel more calm
feel ready to face the world again.
I recently organized my Self-Care Kit so it’s ready for me whenever the newspaper, the TV, the mail, or any other event gets to be too much.
Actually, the trigger doesn’t matter. What’s important is that the anxious is getting out front.
My Self-Care Kit comes to the rescue!
These items are now all in one easy place so I can get to them whenever I need to calm my body and slow my racing thoughts. Overall, they don’t take a lot of space. Square inch by square inch, these things are priceless.
My Self-Care Kit is actually in 2 parts. The first part includes:
my favorite blanket/throw.
a hot water bottle
a generous-sized heart pillow
my favorite essential oil
a neck pillow I can heat in the microwave
aromatherapy pillow
incense
coloring book
my affirmation journal
My Self-Care Kit is in a drawer in my bedroom. But, it could be anywhere. The important thing is that, when I find myself becoming anxious, I go to my Self-Care Kit, and find a selection of things that will help.
That can only be a good thing.
Taped on the wall next to my computer is My Backup List.
The items on this list are a selection of things that I know will help when I need them. They include names, locations, emails, and phone numbers to schedule
a yoga session
a Reiki session
a reflexology session
a massage
So, for me, my Self-Care kit comes in two parts. I know that, between the items in the drawer and the list on the wall, there are options for being calm.
Then, tucked away for me to find when I need them are a guided meditation and a scented bath bar to use with a relaxing and calming bath.
We are each different, on our own special paths. Each day is a new opportunity. One thing this new year has taught me: A Self-Care Kit is ready and waiting for me when I need it.
Ahhhhh.
Calm
