Someone commented recently that they’d be interested in a self-care day video, which sparked this realization that I never do this much caring for myself. I haven’t been tending to my basic needs very well lately, and I’ve ignored responsibilities because of this.

I decided to dedicate a Sunday to fully nurturing myself in every witchy way, not only in pampering ways, but also in honest and necessary ways. So I started the day with shadow work.

“What self-destructive habit of mine needs acknowledgment right now?” This was my prompt and it helped me see the ways I am sabotaging myself daily by not fulfilling my desires and passions.

Pulling tarot cards is a way for me to have guidance or to get answers to some blockage in my mind, and when I pulled The Empress card I knew that this day of nurturing was necessary!

The vegan lemon loaf is a recipe I found online from Chocolate Covered Katie. I made a few changes, added poppy seeds to the topping, and infused it with some kitchen witchery! I think it tasted really good for my first attempt! I am not a baker haha

The picnic happened late in the evening, so it was pretty cold out and the park I intended to go to was closed. Nevertheless, I found somewhere else to sit and enjoy some food, nature, and the beautiful lake.

In my ritual bath, I added bath salts and lavender, I lit some candles from Lit Rituals online shop, and played a guided meditation. Sometimes it is unrealistic for me to sit in silence and meditate because my mind gets busy and can’t focus. So listening to another human’s voice can transport me to a focused and peaceful place.

Throughout the day I was reading Arin Murphy-Hiscock’s “The Witch’s Book of Self-Care” to remind myself that what I was doing wasn’t a waste of time. It also kept me inspired to try small things daily to check in with my mental health to see if I’m okay.

I hope you are doing okay, and if you aren’t, I hope this video helps you.
