You’re probably at home, on your laptop, doing homework right about now. My school has only been online since yesterday and I find myself switching from my bed to the kitchen and to my laptop on repeat. I just need a break from it all! If you know me I’m a people person so this transition is a little challenging. But hey, there is no better time than right now to spend time on you. Make your days at home count, why not make yourself feel better?
Some things I have tried are facemasks, bath bombs, and stretching. These have made me more energized and relaxed with all of this stress I have with everything going on. I will be finding more ways to proceed with self-care from a book called “Make Yourself Cozy.”
I want to share with you all a book that I came to love about self-care. I got it at a white elephant exchange and had no idea how it would impact me. This book contains mainly pictures and short phrases, which is nice in the season of school. The author is Katie Vaz and she has a website of all her work. She also blogs and is a freelance illustrator/designer. She has been an inspiration to me because that is a career path I someday want to take on. Her creativity and simplicity are refreshing to me, someone who is always looking for new art. I encourage you to check out her website and read one of her books, you won’t regret it!
I want to share with you some key ideas Katie suggests to the reader. She wants you to be cozy, comfortable, and at ease with your mind, body, and life. She inspires you to try yoga, make new foods, and journal. I was so drawn to this book as I kept going because each page holds a different value. The book allows you to interact and respond to questions about you and your thoughts. I don’t want to give too much away, so please check this out when you need a break!
“Self-Care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what’s left of you.”
