a self care box is a place for you to store items that promote feelings of relaxation and and happiness. Ultimately they benefit everybody but can be especially people who struggle with anxiety/depression. Below are some suggestions of things to put in your box, I hope this helps you cop in times of stress and lifts your spirits.
Suggestions:
🌸 chocolate
🌸 favorite movie
🌸 bubble bath
🌸 puzzles / brain teasers
🌸 small notebook / sketchpad
🌸 candles
🌸 stress ball
🌸 favorite poems / book
🌸 beauty supplies - facials, etc
🌸 coloring book
🌸 sentimental items
🌸 essential oils
🌸 a couple bags of tea
🌸 anything you want - get creative
Now for the fun part - decoration! You can use whatever's handy but here are my favorites:
✨ shoe boxes are great
✨ washi tape
✨ newspaper
✨ pressed flowers
✨ magazine clippings
✨ whatever you desire.
Let the decoration of the box be just as therapeutic as what's inside.
