You might know that self-care is important, but sometimes it’s hard to put it into practice with busy schedules and long to-do lists. It might seem strange at first to schedule time for self-care, but when your candle making workshop rolls around, you’ll be grateful to your past self.
Focusing on a creative project such as candle making, can be a form of mindfulness. Calm your brain with a hands-on activity that takes focus, but also allows you to relax. Not only will the act of making your own candle promote self care, but the candle itself inspires you to take a moment to wind down every once in a while, enjoy aromatherapy from a custom scent you picked yourself, and maybe even remind you to explore your creativity again.
Expressing yourself is an important form of self care and the customized process of creating a candle will give you space to embrace your true self!
