Evening Self-Care:

Search YouTube for a relaxing ambiance video or nature scenes

Switch to a more relaxing app an hour before sleep

Journal about your day to write it down and let it go

Read or do another relaxing activity to wind down

Do a quit meditation or a guided visualization

Spry your blankets with your favorite calming scent

Lately, I've been seeing people not practicing proper self care (or just not taking care of themselves at all) so I'm just making sure that you are taking care of yourself. At the bare minimum, at least make sure your body is sustained properly (proper eating, drinking, and sleeping).

No, coffee/energy drinks do not replace sleep. The average human needs 7-8 hours a day.

No, sunlight does not count as proper food. We are not plants, we do not use photosynthesis. (I can't believe I have to say this, what is wrong with people? Though you need sunlight and vitamin d, this is not a food source. Stop trying to use it as a food source.)

No, that apple you had this morning on the way to wherever you were going does not count. It is recommended you eat 2,000-2,500 calories a day (and no, this does not mean eat a box or 2 of donuts from your local Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme or other donut shop. Try to eat healthy, but honestly at this point as long as you are actually eating.)

No, that 1 cup of water that you had this morning does not count as proper hydration. It is recommended you have 6-8 cups of water a day.

Also, make sure you have breaks in your day and don't stress too much. Relax for a bit, it's good for your health.

Final note: I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life, I'm just concerned with everyone's well-being lately because, again, people aren't taking care of themselves.

Not got much to add to this but ^^ thank you this is a good reminder

Sometimes, the amount of work we put into our craft can be really exhausting. Studying, taking notes, then studying some more. It can take a lot out of you especially if this is done consistently.  Please know that it is okay to take a break, whether its for one day or more. Magick is always going to be there when we come back to it, it isn’t going to leave. As admirable it is for other witches to constantly be studying and learning more and more each day, some of us can only do so much. We need to take all of this a day at a time! Never be pressured into thinking that you need to catch up to any other witch. We all have our own paths, that’s what makes witchcraft unique and precious (personally for me). 

So if you’re needing to take a break from the heavier loads of your craft, below are some low effort things you can do to add a little magick to your day and to also help you with some self-love <3 

I know, I know, you just got a whole week of self-care stuff, but here’s some of the hard truths about it, as a reminder.

I know I got into it a bit, particularly on the Emotional Self-Care tips -- but it really ISN’T all bubble baths and face masks. It really is the hard stuff, too, like working out, eating well, and setting boundaries. It really is being honest with yourself and those around you.
