Independent submission by Liz Thomson, Health & Content Specialist
Have you wondered at some time of your day, that “I should get some relaxing time”? Get everything off the mind. De-stress and forget about all the pesky issues. Right now, you might think that going to a spa is a great way to do it.
But in this age of coronavirus looming at every nook and corner outside, it is better to avoid such services. You can get yourself a beautiful mind spa at your home too. Here are a few simple steps on how to do a mind spa at your home.
l Put On Some Music and Lights
The first thing you can do is to re-create a spa-like atmosphere. Get a playlist made of spa music, or your favorite music can do the work too. Whatever makes you feel comfortable and helps you to relax is your playlist.
Switch on the ambient lights and switch off the bright lights. If you have fancy candles, you can use them too. Lovely smelling candles will do the job perfectly of creating a spa-like mood.
l Get Some Essence To Amp Up Your Mood
The most recognizable aspect of any spa is “the heavenly smell.” The beautiful essences take-over your mind and help to unwind. Get yourself a diffuser; it is beneficial in day to day life.
Lavender, sandalwood, cedarwood, or lemongrass essential oils are the perfect choice to lower your anxieties and stress.
l Clear Mind
Clearing the mind is easier said than done. Anxieties, stress, and overwhelming thoughts leading to depression are the most significant contributors to mental disorders.
You can also get yourself a medical marijuana card and buy some good medical weed from the marijuana dispensary. It is medically proven that medical marijuana can lower stress, anxiety, and depression.
l Give A Good Scrub To Your Body
Scrubbing your body will remove all the dirt, grime, and dead skin over the body. It will also help to stimulate healthy and glowing skin. You can use DIY body scrubs from your kitchen.
If you are lazy enough, body scrub of your favorite brand will do the job too. Apply scrub and gently not harshly massage your skin. Feel the blood rushing to your skin, making it supple and watch all the dirt that washes away.
l Perform Light Head Massage
Head massages are euphoric. Even a single head massage will eliminate your thoughts and will make you sleepy. Pour the right amount of coconut or almond oil over your head. Rub the scalp gently until you forget your worries.
l Mask Your Hair
Oils are an excellent mask for your hair. If you have already done a head massage and want more pampering – get yourself a lavish hair mask or a deep conditioner. Let your mane soak all the goodness.
l Master Simple Facial for Your Face
A home facial doesn’t need to be complicated or hard as you get one in your spa. For your face, you can follow a simple everyday routine. The best is a three-step face routine to cleanse, scrub, and mask your face with any desired product or DIY ingredient.
l Take A Satisfying Soak In Bathtub
Nothing beats like one satisfying dip in warm bathwater. You can add bath salts, bath bombs, flowers, and even milk like Cleopatra in your bathtub. Soak your body and feel all the pain, worries, and mind wrecking thoughts wash away.
You can plug-in Mind Spa therapy to help your mind to undergo a deeply relaxed state. Let the mind and your body feel the comfort of your at-home spa treatment.
l Moisturize
The last but essential step is to moisturize your face and body. After a good spa day, you are always left with deeply moisturized skin. So don’t forget the moisturizing routine for healthy skin. Always drink water or calming chamomile tea to keep in all the hydration.
l Get Some Shut-Eye Time
After a luxurious time spent in self-care and pampering, if possible, take a good nap or sleep. Give your body and mind a well-deserved break.
Takeaway
Self-care is one of the great ways to promote happiness. It is one of the sayings that you are essential and a well-deserved human being. Having a pure spa at home can work wonders on your mind and body.
