Crowdsourcing My Self-Care

[lunabee34]

I need some calm and peace and comfort and strength and love and light in my life.

To that end, I would appreciate it if you would tell me about your religious, spiritual, mystical, and/or secular practices, rituals, or behaviors that give you the aforementioned.

Note: I would be delighted with lateral discussion; as a teacher, it is always my goal LOL. However, I will not tolerate any negative comments about peoples' beliefs and practices in this post (which I know is an unnecessary disclaimer as you all are the loveliest people who would never dream of being that kind of jackass).

I find going into a witness protection program very soothing. ;)

I don't know why it works for me, but sitting on the floor of the shower (with the shower on) is more relaxing than a bath. (ETA: Ah, I do know: the water beating on my head blocks out the world.)

Also, paying someone to give me a pedicure.

I adore getting a pedicure. It makes me feel relaxed but also attractive. Now that we are getting paid again (after summer hiatus), I am making it a point to get a pedicure and facial each month.

Oooh, that's a great idea about the witness protection program shower. I will give that a try.
