In today's fast-paced world, people often forget to look after themselves and their needs. Selfcare rituals can help you to go through the day and life more mindfully and happily. We show you our self-care rituals that give you inner peace and clarity and help you get closer to your goals, manifest new habits or let go of old patterns.
Selfcare rituals
What does self-care mean? Why are rituals important?
As the word suggests, self-care is about looking after yourself - because if everyday life becomes increasingly hectic, whether at work or in everyday life, there is a risk of neglecting yourself and burning out in the short or long term. To prevent this, it is particularly important to consciously take time out to focus on your own needs.
Rituals give structure to stressful everyday life and allow inner peace, clarity and focus to return. These can be very personalised by being set for a specific intention. That's why every self-care ritual is different - whether it's going for a walk, doing sport, reading a good book or relaxing in a cosy bath.
The aim is to switch off, take a deep breath and recharge your batteries.
Morning rituals
If you get up on the wrong side of the bed in the morning, you can set the tone for the rest of the day. If, on the other hand, you consciously start the day with joy, you can start the day with the greatest possible mindfulness and a positive attitude.
With a focus on yourself and a cup of hot tea or coffee, your favourite song or a short yoga routine, you can start the day in a positive and mindful way. No matter what a morning routine looks like, it is crucial that it makes you happy, calms you down and helps you to collect yourself.
"Mindful eating"
In addition to a balanced diet, attention should also be paid to how meals are eaten. With digitalisation, it is becoming increasingly common for people to watch TV or use their mobile phones while eating.
Mindful eating is about eating mindfully. Every single bite should be savoured and enjoyed.
Evening rituals
In addition to starting the day right, it is also important to end it right. While body and mind are strained in everyday life, they should be allowed to relax in the evening.
An evening ritual is particularly useful for calming down and reflecting on what you have experienced. No TV, no smartphone - instead, the focus should be entirely on yourself. Conscious breathing exercises, meditation, a good book or a final yoga routine in bed help to consciously bring the day to a close.
Our tip:
Don't take on too much for your morning and evening routine, otherwise you may lose your motivation. Instead, choose one or two routines that make you happy and do you good. To make your personal routine a success, it should always take place at the same times.
Fixed times for getting up and going to bed are particularly important here - because the body needs at least seven to eight hours of sleep in order to fully recharge its energy stores and start the next day feeling rested.
