Mother’s day is a special occasion to show appreciation and gratitude to the women who raised us, loved us, nurtured us, and support us throughout our lives. As we all know, being a mother is not an easy job. It can be stressful, exhausting, and overwhelming at times. That’s why it’s important for mothers to practice self-care and treat themselves to some pampering and relaxation.
Self-care is sacred.
Self-care is not self-indulgent. At Spa Manzanita we believe self-care is sacred. It is a way of taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It can help recharge your energy, boost your mood, and feel happier
Here are some ways you can help your mother, sister, friend, or yourself practice a little self-care to celebrate Mother’s Day:
– Enjoy a massage, a facial or other spa treatment. A massage can reduce stress and tension in your muscles and joints. It can improve your blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. A massage can also release endorphins, the natural painkillers and mood enhancers of your body! A spa facial will cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin. It can also remove impurities, stimulate collagen production and brighten your complexion and give you a healthy glow. You can’t go wrong with either choice and both can improve your mental health by helping you relax and unwind.
– Cook a delicious meal, bake cookies, or here’s an idea, how about Caramel-Pecan Sticky Buns. Who says you can’t have dessert for dinner? These sticky buns are so delicious, you’ll want to eat them all day long. They’re made with refrigerated biscuit dough, brown sugar, butter, pecans, and caramel sauce for a gooey and decadent treat. You can make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving. Enjoy them with some whipped cream or ice cream for a heavenly indulgence. Recipe from Taste of Home
– Get outside and enjoy time in nature. If you’re here in Manzanita, you can enjoy our seven-mile-long beach that is perfect for walking and exploring tide pools. Visit the stunning scenery of the Oregon Coast. Neahkahnie Mountain and state parks in the area offer breathtaking views. Beaches: Manzanita has a beautiful, seven-mile-long beach that is perfect for walking, surfing, and exploring tide pools. The beach is relatively uncrowded, making it a great place to relax and unwind.
– Spend some quality time with your family or friends, or enjoy some solitude if you prefer. You can watch a movie, play a game, have a picnic, or go for a walk.
– Express your feelings and thoughts in a journal, a letter, or a creative project. You can also talk to someone you trust or join a support group if you need to vent or seek advice.
– Do something that makes you laugh, smile, or feel inspired. You can watch a comedy show, listen to uplifting music, read a motivational quote, or admire some beautiful art.
– Practice gratitude and positivity. Write down three things you are grateful for every day, or say them out loud. You can also compliment yourself or someone else, or perform a random act of kindness.
– Exercise, move your body! Exercise is a way of taking care of your physical and mental health, and it can have a positive impact on your mood, energy, sleep, stress, and self-esteem. Exercise can help you release endorphins, which are natural chemicals that make you feel good. Choose activities that you enjoy, maybe dancing, hiking, swimming, or playing sports. Show yourself some love. It’s a way of saying: I matter, I deserve this, I can do this. Exercise is self-care, and you are worth it!
Remember that self-care is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. Mother’s Day is a good day to remember this and to practice it fully.
You deserve it! Book some self-care for your mother, sister, friends and yourself.
