The month of October is known as "Pink October", conceived with the aim of making society aware of the importance of breast cancer prevention.
Inspire, mobilize and fight are the watchwords of this movement. These days, there is little time we stop to take care of ourselves, stress and fatigue end up accumulating and self-care time passes into the background. When was the last time you took time to take care of yourself? To pamper yourself?
Today we share with you 5 self-care rituals to do regularly:
Ritual 1: Take a relaxing bath
Choose a quieter and calmer day and put on some serene music, do your cleaning routine and aromatize the space to feel at peace. Also, add flowers to your decor to help ward off bad energies and reduce anxiety. Our rose bouquets give a special touch to any corner and will be the perfect allies in this ritual, here's the suggestion!
Ritual 2: Cultivate your self-esteem
Stop to look in the mirror and appreciate what you like most about yourself. Don't point out flaws, praise yourself, wear your favorite clothes and feel beautiful! Take the opportunity to do the self-examination, in the mirror, standing or lying down. Don't forget that prevention starts with you.
Ritual 3: Move your body in contact with nature
Take a few minutes to be "off" and enjoy a walk in the fresh air, exercising your body and relaxing your mind. Just walk through nature, look at the flowers and breathe in fresh air, always carrying a bottle of water to hydrate your body and recharge your batteries.
Ritual 4: Make a gratitude list
Have you ever stopped to think about the good things that surround you? Make a list of the 5 things you are grateful for. If you are the kind of person who likes to take care of others, choose to send a message to that special person or send them a bouquet of flowers with a thank you card written by you. This month, The Florist will donate €2 for each bouquet sold to the Portuguese League Against Cancer.
Ritual 5: Allow yourself to disconnect from the routine
Did you know that trying new things encourages your creativity? Cook a dish you've never made, read the book you've always wanted and never had the opportunity to. And if you've never allowed yourself to be pampered, this is the right time to do so, buy a bouquet of flowers and give it to yourself!
