As the days get shorter and darker, it’s hard not to fall into autumn/winter troubles. Different rituals help each of us stay above water (read: in a normal mental state). For example, sports. Physical activity is an excellent source of dopamine. Or food – bananas, nuts, dark chocolate and many other foods contribute to the production of the hormone of happiness. But there’s another good way to help you regain your energy levels: a spa evening dedicated just to yourself. We’ve put together some tips to help you spend time alone.
Create a pleasant atmosphere
A pleasant atmosphere is different for everyone. For some, it will be enough to dim the lights and turn on their favorite music, while for others, brewing cocoa and turning on a romantic comedy will be enough. But we know one thing for sure: Aromas directly affect the subconscious and can both revitalize and relax us. Therefore, fill your apartment with a pleasant aroma using candles, palo santo, incense or diffuser.
Disconnect from the outside world
You don’t need to always be in touch and respond to messages immediately (especially if it’s a weekend evening). At least sometimes we need to spend time alone with ourselves; In this way, we are not only filled with energy, but we also hear better what is going on inside us. Put your phone on “do not disturb” mode so that nothing distracts you tonight. If you are worried that someone will call you, warn your loved ones in advance.
Take a bubble bath or shower
A hot bath is one of the best rituals to relax your mind and body. You can add bombs, foam or Epsom salt to it, this will help relieve muscle tension and prepare for sleep. If you don’t have a bathtub, long steamy showers will also work. To make showering a ritual, use body foam or shower gel containing aromatic oils.
Play your favorite comedy
We are sure that you have your own list of movies that instantly change the atmosphere of your home. Now is their time. If you don’t know what to watch, take a look at our selections.
Do everything you’ve wanted for a long time
There isn’t enough time during the week for many things. Use this evening to perform any rituals you haven’t done before. For example, make a mask from fabric or pay attention to drier areas of body skin (feet, elbows).
By the way, you don’t need to limit yourself to beauty treatments. If you want to start journaling, write down important thoughts, or make a wish map, this evening can last longer.
