Pampering time

So last week proved to be stressful one. I don't really like having an anxiety attack, I supposed noone does. The body amazes me in how it deals with stress and when it's too much. I have an awesome naturopath doctor, so I called her. She told me what happens when the body gets depleted during stressful times and put me on certain supplements. She also told me about acupuncture, which my appointment is on Wednesday so I'm excited to see how well it goes. I told my husband I needed to get away and destressed.

Back in May I was in Wisconsin, I had to go there for legal reasons and I stayed with my sister. She went up to Michigan with her husband for Memorial weekend, I had her house to myself. It was heaven!!! I could've visited other family members and friends but I needed that time for me. I spent a lot of time being quiet, listening to relaxing music and reading. I meditate, took walks, drank herbal tea, ate healthy, and I journaled. I could feel my body relax, I was feeling so good. I lit candles, put essential oils in my shower and in my body oil. It was just what I needed.

I called a hotel room Wednesday and reserved a room. I made a list of all the things I would bring with me. I had fun getting ready for my day. When I got to my room I put everything away or where it belonged. I smudged the room with sage, lit the candles, made my tea, and then started my bath. I added lemon and peppermint oil with dead sea salts, put my hair in a pony tail and soaked, while sipping my tea. Oh let's not forget the relaxing music in the background, I believe I had Steve Halpern, David and Steve Gordon, and Nature sounds playing. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I layed on my bed and just quieted my thoughts, I concentrated on my breathing and then I could feel my whole body feel tingling and heavy. I meditated for about 20 minutes just thinking about being in beautiful places like a waterfall, the ocean, the forest.

I did some yoga and then started reading The Law of Attraction by Esther and..... oh I forgot I'll have to find the book to remember. It says how everything that happens to us we've attracted to ourselves and it's done with a thought. Makes sense, it says in Proverbs what a man thinks is what he is. It goes into how we should spend 15 minutes a day relaxing and thinking positive thoughts, saying affirmations, etc. I agree I mean the way we think and how we speak makes such a big difference. It also says in Proverbs the tongue creates life or death.

I made myself a snack of celerfy, carrots, apple, and strawberries. The strawberries was so sweet and good. I needed something more, but wasn't sure what I wanted to eat. I already had a salad for lunch and didn't finish it. I wanted meat of some sort. I did some praying and journaling. It really helped me......oh let's not forget I painted my toes :)

So what do you do for yourself to make sure you are taking care of yourself?

Now my mission is to find different types of recipes I can put into my bath. I have tons of essential oil but there are flowers and herbs I can add to it.

Well I'm back at home and it's family time, we rented Evan Almighty so I have to close so I can go watch it. Be well and be blessed!!!!!!
