Your self care tonic menu
Let’s endulge
This week’s Self Care Tonic Menu is here to inspire you with simple ideas across healthy habits, nutrition, hair/ body care and wellness routines. Think of it as your guide to creating a holistic approach to wellness—a way to recharge, reconnect, and embody your highest self.
Taking care of yourself isn’t just about physical fitness—it’s about nurturing your emotional, spiritual, energetic and mental well-being too. Feeling your best comes from creating small moments throughout your day that align with what makes you feel good.
These rituals work together to help you thrive so you can create your best self.
Here are the detailed steps for this week’s Self Care Tonic rituals:
🎨 Draw or Colour In – 10 mins
Benefits: Tapping into creativity helps reduce stress, improve focus, and bring a sense of calm. Colouring is a meditative activity that engages the mind while allowing self-expression.
How to:
Choose a coloring book or grab blank paper for free drawing.
Use coloured pencils, markers, or paints—whatever feels good.
Let your mind relax as you fill the page.
Play soft music or sip a tea while you create.
🧘 Stretch Whilst Watching TV – 20 mins
Benefits: A gentle stretch while watching your favourite show helps release tension, improve flexibility, and make movement effortless.
How to:
Find a comfortable space on the floor or couch.
Incorporate easy stretches like:
Seated forward fold for hamstrings
Cat-cow spinal movement
Neck and shoulder rolls
Move slowly and hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds.
Enjoy your show while giving your body some love!
🕯️ Candlelit Meditation – 15 mins
Benefits: Meditating with candlelight creates a soothing atmosphere, deepens focus, and enhances relaxation before bed.
How to:
Light a candle and dim other lights in the room.
Sit comfortably and focus your gaze on the flickering flame.
Breathe deeply and allow your thoughts to pass without judgment.
If your mind wanders, bring your attention back to your breath and the candlelight.
🌺 Dry Body Brush – 5 mins
Benefits: Stimulates lymphatic drainage, exfoliates dead skin, and increases circulation, leaving you feeling refreshed.
How to:
Use a natural bristle brush on dry skin before a shower.
Brush in upward strokes toward the heart, starting from the feet.
Be gentle on sensitive areas but firm enough to stimulate circulation.
Rinse off in the shower and follow with a nourishing body oil or lotion.
🚿 Everything Shower – 10 mins
Benefits: A full-body shower routine resets your energy, leaving you feeling clean, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
How to:
Start with a scalp massage using shampoo to cleanse the hair.
Exfoliate your body with a scrub or mitt.
Shave, if desired, and apply a nourishing conditioner.
Rinse off, apply body lotion or oil, and step into fresh pajamas for the ultimate reset.
