Tiny routines that restore you with aromatherapy lavender soap
When you’re busy, time is always of the essence. But your body and mind still need a signal that it’s okay to slow down especially when you've been on the move ALL day.
The thing is—when you spend all day in “go mode,” though, your nervous system doesn’t just switch off when you get home or get off work.
If you skip that step, you stay stuck in “go mode” even after you’re done with work.
— It’s why you still feel tense, wired, overwhelmed, restless, and drained, even at home.
You don’t need an elaborate self-care routine.
You need something that keeps things simple for you. But, something that you can do everyday that helps you and your nerves feel better even if you have small kids and babies.
Something as simple as a 10-minute shower with lavender aromatherapy soap can give your nervous system that much-needed off switch.
Warm water and real lavender essential oil loosens tight muscles. Gets rid of tension headaches. And calms your mind. The scent of pure lavender essential oil tells your brain, “just relax right now.” And for that moment, it forces you to just be.
— there’s no decisions you need to make, no noise- beside the sound of water hitting the shower floor. Maybe it’s also the sound of a podcast or a Youtube video playing in the background. Whatever the sound is… it’s optional. It’s just time for you and a moment of peace.
It’s what I call the Calming Shower Soap Experience. My micro-ritual is something I’ve been doing for years and it’s helped me so much after work. It’s helped reduce those anxious episodes and calm racing thoughts. It’s something I started doing during Covid after work.
Now, I’m much calmer after work and when the kids are home. I feel more grounded and (surprisingly) more productive. You can have your moment alone without feeling guilty about it. And it’s possible even if you think you don’t have time- because it’s built on a habit you already have. Your shower.
I’m creating something to make this SUPER easy for you and I’ll show you soon so be sure to follow Smom’s Lifestyle so you don’t miss out.
If you love the simplicity of a good hot shower and lavender soap to slow down in the evenings after work to wind down, I'm starting a new lavender essential oils soap subscription box with lavender soaps.
